: 301 redirects.... www. > http ... the entire sitemap I submitted a duplicate sitemap some time back to incorporate the www. addresses when I saw my site was not directing there when I typed

You can use a single rule to redirect the entire site. Both of the following methods will redirect the following urls properly
www.example.com/ -> example.com/ http://www.example.com/page.html -> example.com/page.html http://www.example.com/directory/page.html -> example.com/directory/page.html

If you have access to your httpd.conf file, you can redirect the entire site using a virtual host directive. This is better for performance that using .htaccess and rewrite rules.

<VirtualHost *>
ServerName example.com Redirect 301 / example.com/ </VirtualHost>


If both your www and non-www hosts are served out of the same directory (and your host doesn't give you access to http.conf), you will need to use the following rewrite rules in your .htaccess file.

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