Am I getting shafted?

[zeus]

Ive got a website..... www.????.co.uk but when you remove the www. and just type ????.co.uk it goes to someone elses website!

I want both!

I dont' know why, but sometimes hosting companies offer domains without www. some do. But still, I thought you can't have two identical doman names..:dry:

I often find with some .co.uk sites that if you leave out the www you get a different page or in most cases the default hosting page.

In you control panel (assuming CPanel), you should be able to add a sub-domain, add "www" and redirect it to www.yourdomain.co.uk

or

create a .htaccess file in the public_html folder and use this code

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.domain\.co.uk
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.domain.co.uk/$1 [R=301,L]

this will redirect domain.co.uk to www.domain.co.uk

You need to add a CNAME (alias) DNS record pointing to the webserver called "www"
