    Performing 301 redirects

    Hi, the site I'm setting up has 2 domains: www.example.com and example.com.

    To retain the canonical Url I'd like to have all requests to www.example.com to be 301 redirected to example.com.

    Normally I'd just write a IIS rewrite URL rule, but with umbraco I've seen there is already a rewrite module inside, called UrlRewriting.Net.

    Also, since 7.5 there is already a 301 redirect solution that checks for moves and creates rules automatically.

    So, I've 2 questions:

    1. Is there way to add new rules to the the 301 tracking table so that the module does it's job for me?
    2. If no, is it better to use UrlRewriting.Net or using the IIS rewrite module?

    Thx

    Simone

    The answer is simple:

    1. No, you should not add something yourself. It is build to catch renames of nodes. Because it's only a fallback before a 404 would happen, it's pretty slow too.
    2. IIS rewrite module all the way, UrlRewriting.net will be removed in v8.

    Also, look at the documentation for url tracking

    Kind regards
