I think what you might need here is a 301 redirect to force all the yourdomain.com's to go to www.yourdomain.com. Check out this post that I did yesterday on this and see if that helps you out:

If not or you need any more help please feel free to ask. Smile

thanks mitch, i will try that out.

one more thing though..
do i have it to add those codes on the root directory of my account? (myregisteredsiteonlunar.com) ? I mean, cuz this I need this for my other site, and it's an add-on domain to my hosting account, will it be ok if i installed it on my main directory(myregisteredsiteonlunar.com)? or do i need to make a .htaccess file on mynewsite.com folder?

thanks. i appreciate your help Smile
