Want to Open My Website with www

Question

I have any asp.net mvc website, and I want to open it as www.example.com instead of example.com. I want to redirect every user who uses example.com to www.example.com. The reason why I am doing this is to maintain the cookies. As currently 2 different cookies sets one works for www.example.com and the other works for example.com. How can I do this?

I think you need to look into .htaccess redirects – bwoogie Feb 11 '17 at 17:36 — bwoogie, Feb 11 '17 at 17:36
Why don't you just set the cookie for `.example.com`? – mrun Feb 12 '17 at 08:50 — mrun, Feb 12 '17 at 08:50

This needs to be done in web.config, not .htaccess. There's a similar question with a great response here.

You can use the IIS URL Rewrite Module for that. But it is not installed on the server by default. When installed you can create a rule in the Web.Config file of your site.

<system.webServer>
  <rewrite>
    <rules>
      <rule name="Redirect to www" stopProcessing="true">
        <match url=".*" ignoreCase="true" />
        <conditions>
          <add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^traindb.nl" />
        </conditions>
        <action type="Redirect" url="http://www.traindb.nl/{R:0}" redirectType="Permanent" />
      </rule>
    </rules>
  </rewrite>
</system.webServer>

You could configure the redirection from example.com -> www.example.com at the DNS or even in IIS settings.
