How to redirect www traffic to non-www url in Joomla

One of the first things you should set up when putting together a Joomla website is a redirect instruction in the .htaccess file.

The purpose of this instruction is to redirect www.mysite.com URL's to mysite.com. This ensures that SEO and anyone copying a link to your site will always use the same URL of http://mysite.com. This is also especially important when accumulating Facebook 'Likes' as they will accumulate from one URL address rather than two.

 RewriteEngine On   
 RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^mysite\.com   
 RewriteRule (.*) http://mysite.com/$1 [R=301,L]
