Hi Tara
You could try a .htaccess rewrite if your server is apache.
Something like this
#Force non-www:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.example\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://example.com/$1 [L,R=301]

That code is to password protect the webstats section of the site.
First, make a backup of the original unedited htaccess file, just inc ase something goes wrong
Then paste the code in my first email below what's there.
Take care with htaccess files as a small error can give you a white screen of death.

You need to have a \ before all . you were missing it before the .au
Try this
#Force non-www:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.plowright\.com\.au [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://plowright.com.au/$1 [L,R=301]

Morning Eben
And no luck.....firefox seems to by nature put the www but chrome is still not doing it.....should the .htaccess file remain in the webstats folder or should I place it somewhere else?

Create a new .htaccess file in the website root folder and remove the code that I gave you from the thaccess file in the webstats folder and put it in the new file in the websitre root. The htaccess file in the webstats folder should only contain the original code for the password protect.

.htaccess should be in the public_html, wwww, web accessible directory of a site where you're base index home page is stored. Sub folders will then inherit from that. With hosts like Dreamhost it will be something like the plowright.com.au directory in your root user folder.

HeyTara
Try this code instead, put it in the htaccess file thats in the public_html folder
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
If it doesn't work there is a slight chance that the host does not have mod_rewrite enabled, you may need to confirm this with them.
