How to redirect only www with htaccess - .htaccess

Can you please help me how to redirect ONLY http://example.com to http://www.example.com?
I have some subdomains (http://sub1.example.com; http://sub2.example.com...) and I don't want them to be redirected also.
This is my .htaccess
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
With that, what I'm getting is that when I access to http://example.com it redirects correctly to http://www.example.com but when I access to http://sub1.example.com it redirects to http://www.www.sub1.example.com/sub1_folder/sub1_folder/
Thanks in advance


You can have a more generic regex pattern if you know your domain will be XXX.com:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^[^.]+\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
Or even better:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^[^.]+\.[a-z]{2,4}$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]

Redirect NON-www to www for https

I've the following redirect
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !on
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
How can I redirect non WWW https to WWW?
The htaccess is located in the public_html folder

You can use the following :
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !on [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule (.*) https://www.example.com%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
This will redirect
http://example.com
https://example.com
to
https://www.example.com

I'm using this on a Joomla site and it redirects everything to https://www
I can't see this solution anywhere else so thought I'd share it
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domainname\.co.uk [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.domainname.co.uk/$1 [R=301,L]

Redirect to www in subfolder for a subdomain

My domain "example.com" is redirected to the "www.example.com".
and the for each it's subdomain "www.subdomain.example.com" is redirected to the "subdomain.example.com" and linked to a root subfolder "example.com/admin". So far so good.
The issue here is when I access to "/admin" for the domain itself i wanted to redirect to "www.example.com/admin" but subdomain to "subdomain.example.com/admin" .
this is my .htaccess file in /admin:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.([^\.]*)\.example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://%1.example.com$1 [R=301,L]
Any way I can do this? Much appreciated.

You can do like this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.([^.]+)\.example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^((?!admin).*)$ http://%1.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Redirect to HTTP non-www to HTTPS www htaccess

I want to redirect from any direction to our site with HTTPS protocol, but some redirects it's not working. I want this:
http://www.site.co TO https://www.site.co
http://site.co TO https://www.site.co
This is my htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.domain.com/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.domain.com/$1 [L,R=301]
The second rule it's not working. It going to another direction inside our site, and it isn't redirect to HTTPS site.

Try it like this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.example.com/$1 [L,R=301]
The only real difference here is that first we redirect from non-WWW to WWW then we check for HTTPS and redirect it.
If it does not work, try this one:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.example.com/$1 [L,R=301]

The answer by Prix works. To make it more dynamic lets use SERVER_NAME and REQUEST_URI instead of a static domain name.
RewriteEngine On
#we replace domain.com/$1 with %{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI}.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*) https://www.%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
#here we dont use www as non www was already redirected to www.
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

Sorry I don't have enough point to comment, but the rule of #prix will bring unneeded redirect.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.domain.com/$1 [L,R=301]
You can try http://domain.com/ on GTMETRIX and you will get this message
"Avoid landing page redirects for the following chain of redirected URLs."
http://domain.com/
http://www.domain.com/
https://www.domain.com/
To prevent that, go to the first RewriteRule and add a "s" at the end of http. The new set of rule will look like this :
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.domain.com/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.domain.com/$1 [L,R=301]

This is http to https and non www to www redirection using .htaccess
If you want to redirect to https and www you can use this code
http to https redirection:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
</IfModule>
Non www to www redirection:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
</IfModule>
If you want to use booth functionality place the above all code respectively

In case you are using One.com as your webhost you should use the following code instead:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

I have an asp.net website and the host provider is not supporting IIS rewrite module i have tested all this methods and only this code gives woorank.com confirmation maybe useful for another .net developer :
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) https://www.example.com%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !on
RewriteRule (.*) https://www.example.com%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

This will use for both www or non-www
If you try to open link with www then url redirect to https with www
Example : http://domain.com redirect to https://domain.com
or If you try to open link with non-www then url redirect to https with non-www
Example : http://www.domain.com redirect to https://www.domain.com
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

Just put the following in the .htaccess file
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

I use this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [END,NE,R=permanent]

Try this methode:
# Redirect 301 all to https://www
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) https://www.example.com/$1 [L,R=301]
</IfModule>
Why sometimes you don't need code %{HTTP_HOST} and use your domain exact url with www for the last line, because usually the result will have two www like:
https://www.www.yourdomain.com
Btw if you use cloudflare, just create pagerules redirect 301 all to https and www version.
Create pagerules
Fill with
example.com/*
Choose setting forward url then choose 301 and fill with this
https://www.example.com/$1
Save it and all will be redirected to https and www version.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.domain.com/$1 [L,R=301]

For example https://example.com should be going to https://www.example.com
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !=443
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ "https\:\/\/www\.example\.com\/$1" [R=301,L]
Note - you should change example.com to your own domain.

Htaccess redirecting non-www to www

I have searched the web all over for a good generic .htaccess script for redirecting non-www to www, and currently i'm using this:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
This works fine, but if i go to a subdomain www. will be added. Does anyone has a good working redirect .htaccess script?

Try this :
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^([^\.]+)\.([^\.]+)\.([a-z]{2,4})$
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]

#Vince What if the requested url is something like:
http://www.abc.example.com
IMHO, I think with your method it would never be redirected to:
http://www.example.com
How about this?
# Rewrite domain
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.([a-z1-9\-]+)\.([a-z]+)$ [NC] [and]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ([a-z1-9\-]+)\.([a-z]+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%1.%2/$1 [R=301,L]

How to change .htaccess to redirect all non-www links to www pages?

How can I redirect all non-www links to www links? I have found solutions on the internet, but they only redirect the domain name.
How do I make this general:
http://example.com/testing should redirect to http://www.example.com/testing?

try something like this
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yourdomain.com/$1
If you want something generic that works for any domain, you can try something like:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.+)$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%1/$1
