Because I own the codingfriends.co.uk, but would like to point that to the www.codingfriends.com
Here is a good way to make it so that any requests to the domain name codingfriends.co.uk (rewrite condition of the host record) will redirect to www.codingfriends.com with a redirection of HTTP 301 (moved permanently).
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond ${HTTP_HOST} !^(www)\.codingfriends\.co\.uk
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.codingfriends.com/$1 [L,R=301] |
Save that to the .htaccess root directory file. Hope that helps.
