Step 4: If you want to create a 301 redirect forcing all http requests to use either www.example.com or example.com.By default your website can be accessed with both www.example.com and example.com. Since Google penalizes this due to duplicated content reasons, you should restrict the access to either www.example.com or example.com. Some links may be outside of your website scope and/or the search engines may have already indexed your website under both addresses.
To create a 301 redirect check if you are having .htaccess file under public_html add the redirect rule in it or else create a new .htaccess file and add the below redirect rule replacing the domain_name with your domain name inside .htaccess and save it
<ifmodule>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^domain_name$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://domain_name/$1 [L,R=301]
</ifmodule>
Example1- Redirect example.com to www.example.com:
<ifmodule>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.example.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [L,R=301]
</ifmodule>
Example 2- Redirect www.example.com to example.com:
<ifmodule>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.example\.com$
RewriteRule ^/?$ "http\:\/\/example\.com\/" [R=301,L]
