URL question
Hi all,

I have a website, if I type my website address in IE as http://yyy.com, when the page loads the address remains in that format. What I want to have happened is to force the url to be in http://www.yyy.com. Any ideas how?

Thank you

quite simple really. place this vhost above your current vhost for apache webserver.

<VirtualHost *>
ServerName yyy.com
Redirect 301 / http://www.yyy.com/
</VirtualHost>

This is not a DNS issue.

in your case all DNS does it associate an IP address with a domain. Once you connect to that domain you can configure the webserver to tell the browser to connect to a different domain. I am not familiar with IIS and therefor cannot help you. I suggest taking this question to the IIS forum.
