# | Suppressing / Forcing the "www." at the beginning of URLs |
# ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# The same content should never be available under two different URLs especially
# not with and without "www." at the beginning. This can cause SEO problems
# (duplicate content), therefore, you should choose one of the alternatives and
# redirect the other one.
# By default option 1 (no "www.") is activated:
# http://no-www.org/faq.php?q=class_b
# If you'd prefer to use option 2, just comment out all the lines from option 1
# and uncomment the ones from option 2.
# IMPORTANT: NEVER USE BOTH RULES AT THE SAME TIME!
