      I have been wanting to set our site up to redirect non-www to www for the SEO benefits so often described here on SeoMoz. I see a lot on Apache but not so much for IIS.

      Is there any developers here that can point me to a how tutorial for people with little IIS experiences?

              Those tutorials well show you step by step just how easy it is.

              If you dont have access to IIS control panel, it also has the code to put in web.config manualy
              good luck

              • We are redirecting http and non www versions of our website. Should all versions http (non www version and www version) and https (non www version) should just have 1 redirect to the https www version?
