We all know how to redirect to www on a linux server using .htaccess but how can this be achieved on a windows server ?

All I need is that my domain always ads www to the name at all times.

Thanks

you will need to add a check to your page header and redirect to www.blah.blah if it does not contain www

Something like

if left(lcase(request.servervariables("URL"), 11)) <> "http://www." then response.redirect("http://www.whereever.com")

URL may not be the correct server variable to use. You can find a list fo them here - http://www.w3schools.com/asp/coll_servervariables.asp

Is this the only way, I was thinking if global.asa could be used for this, so I only have to upload 1 file, just like with a Linux server.

Just to make sure here - have you got your ANAME and CNAME records set up right to stop this being an issue?

global.asa is no use to you. You could have an event fire when a user session starts but they could navigate to a domain without www after.

This might help - http://www.helicontech.com/isapi_rewrite/

I use another of their products, Linkfreeze. Quite happy with them.

How do I set this up right? My domain only work if there is www. in front of the domain name in the url.

Your domain registrar should either expose this to you or be able to configure it for you - tell them you want xxx.com to point to www.xxx.com in your DNS records (in this case I think you need a CNAME record for xxx.com to www.xxx.com, but it can be complicated)

I can configure some dns stuff myself:

localname - type - mx priority - target

I now have this setup for www:
www - A - 0 - XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX

So if I do it like this:
www - C - 0 - XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX

it should work? =)
