Removing www. from your websites
Here is a short tip on how to remove “www.” from your sites (and make sure others do not use it too). You will need mod_php (apache) enabled and PHP.
In the default virtual host base directory, make sure you have enabled mod_rewrite (check your Override directives if the following does not work), and add something like this in .htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*) go.php
Then put in the same directory go.php:
< ?
$g = str_replace('www.','',$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']) ;
header("Location: http://$g". $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]) ;
?>

This way you don’t need a php file plus redirection keep the full url
e.g.
http://www.site.com/path/to/file.php?par=1
will send you to
http://site.com/path/to/file.php?par=1
Yes, but I have multiple domains. I could not find a way to use the domain name in the rewrite rule.
