If you’re like me and find the use of WWW in URLs both unnecessary and annoying then here is a little tip for you to easily remove it from all your urls.
Note: Before you proceed make sure you have an DNS (A) record setup already for your domain with and without the www.
DotNetNuke provides a FriendlyURL Provider that allows for regular expression matches in Host Settings. Here you can create a new rule that removes the WWW and issues a 302 redirect to the non-www domain.
Create a new rule that:
- Matches: (.*)www.(.*)
- Replaces: $1$2
