 * Hello,
 * I ran my website through an SEO checkup tool and I received the following error:
 * “Your site’s IP 108.179.235.115 does not redirect to your site’s domain name.”
 * The site suggested fixing this error by adding text :
 * RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^XXX\.XXX\.XXX\.XXX
    RewriteRule (.*) [http://www.yourdomain.com/$1](http://www.yourdomain.com/$1)[
   R=301,L]
 * to my .htaccess file.
 * Is there a plugin that can do this for me? and if not where exactly in my .htaccess
   file do I add this additional text?
 * Thank you so much for your assistance!

 * No one responded but that is ok. I figured it out myself. I basically added the
 * RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^XXX\.XXX\.XXX\.XXX
    RewriteRule (.*) [http://www.yourdomain.com/$1](http://www.yourdomain.com/$1)[
   R=301,L]
 * to the last line of the Rewrite Engine section. I changed the XXX’s to my ip 
   address and added my website’s domain in place of ‘[http://www.yourdomain.com&#8217](http://www.yourdomain.com&#8217);
 * And that is it!
 * If you don’t know your website’s IP address, you can find it by typing in your
   site URL on this website:
 * [https://www.site24x7.com/find-ip-address-of-web-site.html](https://www.site24x7.com/find-ip-address-of-web-site.html)
 * Thre are lots of other great free tools on this site as well.
 * Good Luck!
