Ok I guess wait until DNS propagates for domain: origin.cheaplolteams.com then.
Okay, i feel confident that i set it up properly. time to wait for it to propagate like you mentioned. Thanks for tagging along and helping me through this. I’ll update you on what happens, Thanks AITpro!

Ok well if you can get it working then maybe I’ll try it. ha ha ha.
AITpro, i forgot to ask but should i apply your method for redirecting my www/non-wwww? would it fix my Sitemap.xml problem?
is it possible to get a temp fix to reroute people trying to access my http://www.cheaplolteams.com to route them to just cheaplolteams.com

You can give it a try. To tell you the truth I’m not sure if it would work on not since I am not familiar with doing a CNAME change for Google PageSpeed.
# Never use www in the domain
# Replace ‘example.com’ with your domain name
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(([a-z0-9_]+\.)?cheaplolteams\.com)$ [NC]
RewriteRule .? http://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
what about this one, and where should i place it?
i basically want to redirect sitemaps back to cheaplolteams.com whenever someone enters in http://www.cheaplolteams.com, would the code above do that for me?

That code is a little overblown and overcomplex. Keep it simple. This is not rocket science. 😉
Find this code in your root .htaccess file..
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
…and modify it to look like this..
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.cheaplolteams\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://cheaplolteams.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
if this works then you can follow the steps to add this code to Custom Code: http://forum.ait-pro.com/forums/topic/htaccess-redirect-www-to-non-www-htaccess-redirect-non-www-to-www/#post-5566
Okay i will add that to the code. i have a great question though.
if my htaccess file is locked and i made a change to it and saved it. BUT the code i added to it broke my site completely, would i be able to remove ‘that’ change by using an external ftp?

If your .htaccess file is locked you wont be able to write to it. Use the BPS .htaccess editor, unlock your root .htaccess file if it is locked and add those 2 lines of code or you can overwrite the existing code. either way is the same. If your site crashes then FTP to your site and either comment out the code you added or just delete it.
okay thanks for clearing that up AITpro =).
Okay the Google servers propagated but its saying im having a redirect error. and it told to me handle it by doing this: https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/service/faq#wwwredirect
by finding a redirect in my .hta file, do you think you can help me with this one. im afraid i may modify the wrong thing and my website just crashes =s.
