: How do I get rid of the "www" with mod_rewrite? I want to get rid of the "www" in front of my domain, and I'm trying the following, but it's not working: RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_POST}

@Shelley277

Assuming your .htaccess is on the right place with the right permissions and
your Apache server is configured to use it and mod_rewrite is enabled:

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.example.com$
RewriteRule ^/?(.*)$ example.com/ [R=301,L]


Note the HTTP_HOST vs HTTP_POST in your example and that I use a 301 redirect.
This is better since some links may point to the www version and this will let
them count towards your SEO ranking. Search engines will eventually always
send people to the right place.
