: What is current standard practise for redirects of http sub/domains If I have widget.net domain, I assume users are going to type in either www.widget.net or widget.net and expect to get to

If I have widget.net domain, I assume users are going to type in either widget.net or widget.net and expect to get to the same place in either case. But taking that as a given which is best practise:


In either case browser shows the url they originally entered
If the user enters widget.net it should change to widget.net (widget.net remains unchanged)
If user enters widget.net it should change to widget.net (www.widget.net remains unchanged)


Also if have widget.com domain as well what should happen.

(I know how to do this now using Amazon Route53 and Amazon S3, just not what I should do)

You definitely want to have one "canonical" fqdn. Which one you choose is just personal preference but all of the other ones should redirect to the canonical domain to avoid duplicate content issues and visitor confusion.
