no www to redirect to www?

I read that one should have a redirection service to direct all viewers to either www.example.com or example.com but not both. As SEO will see it as 'two sites' splitting your page ranking.

 

But how does one go about doing this without having access to Apache?

- As I am using a third party to host my site?

Is'nt it a configuration file of apaches?... Is'nt it that, they configured the file to there specification so that the client can't modify theres security rules and stuff which might make other clients in danger?... Just asking...

Yes. A .htaccess file is a php configuration file.

 

However, .htaccess files only have control over the directory which they are placed within and all that directories siblings. They are indeed designed to give fine grained control over web accessible directories.

 

Hence, they can be created and placed anywhere within your alocated space providing apache is configured to use them (which it most always is).
