301 .htaccess redirect doesn't work for one.com domains!
But here is the hacker solution you need to get it solved
* How do I create a working 301 redirect for one.com domains?
* Have you tried to redirect www.yoursite.com to yoursite.com but it failed?
Struggling with 301 htaccess redirect problems on ONE.COM domains? You are not alone..
301 redirect: .htaccess redirect problems on one.com are frustrating, but there is a working solution. I have found a way to do it.
There are many examples out there if you google htaccess redirect or 301 redirect or www to non-www and phrases like that. But most of them will fail. They won't redirect your one.com domain and you are stuck with canonical errors that will lower your search engine ranking due to duplicate content on your site. www.mr-eurodisco.com and mr-eurodisco.com are two different domains! This will lead search engines to think you have 2 versions of every page
on your domain and that is BAD! Why? Because search engines, especially google, will give you a penalty if you have duplicate content and now you have the whole site duplicated!
Since one.com hosting service has over 1 million customers I'll bet I'm not the only one struggling with this.
So how do I solve the duplicate content problem? Or the Canonical error problem?
You need to redirect your site "www.mr-eurodisco.com" to "mr-eurodisco.com", that way all visitors coming to for example:
www.mr-eurodisco.com/htaccess-301-redirect-problem-with-one-com.html
will get teleported in real Star Trek style to:
mr-eurodisco.com/htaccess-301-redirect-problem-with-one-com.html

I got it working with a one.com domain and so could you.
Solution to the 301 redirect problem on one.com domains
Did you try this example of a 301 redirect but it didn't work for you?
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.mr-eurodisco\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^$
RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://mr-eurodisco.com/$1 [L,R]
or maybe you tried this 301 redirect and failed miserably:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.mr-eurodisco.com\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://mr-eurodisco.com/$1 [R=301,L]
But you didn't give up your .htaccess hacking and coded this instead:
RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.mr-eurodisco.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://mr-eurodisco.com/$1 [L,R=301]
But all of them fail.. frustrating isn't it?
I won't keep you hanging on the line any more. This is what you need to add in your .htaccess file in your root directory:
ADD THIS CODE TO YOUR .HTACCESS FILE (SOLUTION)
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} .
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^mr-eurodisco\.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://mr-eurodisco.com/$1 [R=301,L]
Note: Don't miss the dot "." with a space in between on line three. Very important! Your site could become inaccessible if you miss the dot. I'm not kidding.
Cut 'n paste EXACTLY AS IT IS WRITTEN. If you fuck it up then delete the .htaccess file to open up your domain to the public again. Naturally you need to change "mr-eurodisco" to "yourdomain" but I think you understand that if you have read this far :)
[R=301] instructs search engines that this move is permanent (good for SEO) and the visitor also see the changed URL in the browser bar.
[L] Give the Apache server the order to halt the processing of the current pass through mod_rewrite and instead initiate the next pass with the new {REQUEST_URI}.
You can combine them just like I did above like this [R=301,L]
That is the ultimate solution to the htaccess redirect problem for your one.com domain
