Easiest way to setup redirects is in cpanel.

Login to Cpanel > Redirects > setup 301 redirect, fill in the blanks. That's all.

Following this procedure will create / edit your .htaccess file correctly without having to edit it manually.

Here's a neat little method I found online:

# Require WWW
# Will automatically redirect requests to non-www to www
# This will exempt robots.txt for search engines
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/robots\.txt$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/sitemap\.(xml|xml\.gz)$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.]+)\.([^.]+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%1.%2/$1 [R=301,L]
</IfModule>

I think, you don't need to redirect anything, just wait that the propagation takes place for your domain. Propagations takes from 24 to 72 hours. While the propagation is running it is possible that you can not see www.domain.com but domain.com, just wait.

To setup a subdomain like blog.yourdomain.com go to Cpanel > Subdomain > and fill in the blanks.

What you wrote "ezygrafik.com/blog" is a subdirectory, not a subdomain.

Thanks Striddy, you are so helpful..I see your reply on the other thread.

I may change the blog to the sub domain. I should delete the sub directories first rite?

Then i just put the code on the subdomain .htacess to redirect non www to www rite?

Yes, then Cpanel > Subdomain > will create the directory for you.

You are so helpful on the forum..

[Nasrun]

I have done the step..

For the wordpress blog i don't need to create .htaccess file to redirect
to "www".

I am just add it on the wordpress dashbord > setting > general setting

Thanks guys.

If you bougth your domain on godaddy, did you change the DNS on the domain so the domain points to HostGator's server?
