 * After not being able to fix my initial problem of getting rid of wp on the end
   of my domain name I have started from scratch.
 * However if I type in the domain name I want into google it goes straight to my
   hosting company
 * [http://www.karenmcilwraith.co.uk](http://www.karenmcilwraith.co.uk)
 * If I type in the following it goes to my site
 * karenmcilwraith.co.uk
 * How can I correct this before I start rebuilding my site. All I want is the wordpress
   site to be found at the domain [http://www.karenmcilwraith.co.uk](http://www.karenmcilwraith.co.uk)
 * Thanks
    Karen

 * I’m not entirely sure I’m clear as to what you’re looking to do.
 * FYI both:
    [http://www.karenmcilwraith.co.uk](http://www.karenmcilwraith.co.uk)
   AND karenmcilwraith.co.uk
 * are taking me to same place, and it is clearly a WordPress installation.
 * Are you concerned with canonicalization issues for SEO purposes? i.e. you want
   to make sure non-www is directed to www. If so you can try this in your .htaccess:
 *     ```
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain\.com [NC]
       RewriteRule (.*) http://www.domain.com/$1 [L,R=301]
       ```
