How to put "www" in front of my domain in simple html based website.?

Question

I have a website named redpeppermedia.in and I wish to see it's url as www.redpeppermedia.in instead of redpeppermedia.in

Do you have any idea how to do it? It's a simple website, I'm not using wordpress or drupal or any sort of website creation tool.

Thank You..

this is to do with webserver, and jquery won't help you. Do you know if you use apache or nginx? And do you have permission to change its setting? — lulalala, Dec 01 '14 at 05:26

add file .htaccess to your website's root, then add the the following lines

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.redpeppermedia.in$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.redpeppermedia.in/$1 [L,R=301]

You need to write in your .htaccess file the mod rewrite to automatically setup the 'www' if the subdomain not exists. Just can see other examples

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

You can check the 'mod rewrite' extension in the Apache foundation oficial website.
