    Default Redirects using HTTP 301 headers

    Why give away half of your page rank?

    To test if your website needs protection, do the following. {snip} In the test above, if you do not reach the same final destination, then your website is open to abuse, whether intentional or not. If so, you need to do a 301 redirect.

    I just sent a note to 1and1.com to do the 301 redirect on my site. If they won't I'll do it myself. Thanks for the tip!

    Mike you will need to implement the 301 redirect yourself using .htaccess
    Do a search in this forum for 301 redirect and you will see how to set it up.

    you can simply add this line of code on your htaccess file.

    Options +FollowSymlinks
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteBase /

    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.yoursite\.com [NC]
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yoursite.com/$1 [L,R=301]
