This neat little trick will force all browsers that are trying to access your website from domain.com into a standardized gateway of www.domain.com for increased search engine consistency, as well as a consistent aesthetic appearance to regular users.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^([^\.]+)\.your-website\.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
