301 Permanent Redirect

Is it possible to do a 301 permanent redirect through the CP. What I want to do is redirect example.com to www.example.com , right now they point to the same content. There are some SEO suggestions that the search engines will see the sites as duplicated content.

That will only redirect a www.example.com/page.asp to xxx.example.com. I want to redirect example.com to www.example.com . I know it can be done in IIS, but just not sure how to do it using Hsphere or if it is even possible.

This is on a windows account.

You can do this with ASP and VBScript if you wish. You need to include the following on every page (say in a header or perhaps SSI):

if instr(request.servervariables("http_host"),"www.domain.com") > 0 then response.redirect "http://domain.com" & request.servervariables("url") & "?" & request.servervariables("query_string")

I know that it can be done with VBScript to simulate a server redirect. Just trying to avoid it and do it proper with the server.

I could set this up on special request basis, that being said, if you ever set anything on error redirects from HSphere in the future it would break the change I make, I would need more details to work this request, you can send via PM.

I will do this the first time, but please beware that we can not be doing this monthly if hsphere resets it regularly.
