How do I redirect non-www to www in IIS?
-
There is a lot of talk about this all over this site (and other's), but just about every solution mentions using the .htaccess file, which is only a solution for Apache. My sites are in a shared windows environment, so that won't work for me. I have access to the IIS manager for the server, and have several page-level redirects in place.
My issue is that I cannot find a clear and easy way to re-direct my root (domain.com) domain, to my preferred specific domain (www.domain.com). I found a few articles online relating to a URL re-write module for IIS, but am not sure if I will be able to install that on a shared web server. Is there another way to accomplish my goal of not having 2 indexable versions of my site? I have rel-canonical tags on every page, but would prefer a more trustworthy and established solution.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
