Domain IE issue

[rbxslvr]

I have my site uploaded and running with GoDaddy Hosting and Domain. I can open it in firefox via "www." and without "www."..... when I try opening with internet explorer, it opens without the "www.", but not with. What could be causing this?

it must be a domain problem, Godaddy is c.r.a.p. You may find this article interesting:

Also, you can search in google "godaddy sucks" and will find thousands of articles from people that have had bad experiences with this company

Well, it looks like it is IE. It appears to only be this way on my computer... IE7 loads it fine, because I tried it at a friend's house, and I tried it at school, and it told me it was restricted by the school's filter because it was in the "parked" category. Could it have anything at a all to do with IIS 7 based hosting? If not, I'll contact tech support... they're the best tech support I've ever called.

here is the fix for that:
use notepad and put this bit of code in it:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteOptions MaxRedirects=1
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.yourdomain\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yourdomain.com/$1 [L,R=301]
</IfModule>

save it as ".htaccess"

upload it to your server root directory.

thats it!!

happy coding
