I need to force the "www" in the URL of my site, so that when users access my site using "http://mysite.com", they get re-directed to "http://www.mysite.com" automatically (address is shown their browser address bar). Does this have to do with IIS and URL ReWriting?? If not then how to achieve that?  Thanks!

  Re: Force site URL Reply Contact Hi, More detailed about URL rewriting, you can use the following rule <rewrite>       <rules>         <rule name="Redirect to WWW" stopProcessing="true">           <match url=".*" />           <conditions>             <add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^mysite.com$" />           </conditions>           <action type="Redirect" url="http://www.mysite.com/{R:0}" redirectType="Permanent" />         </rule>       </rules>     </rewrite> For more information about URL rewriting, please refer to: Using URL Rewrite Module http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/460/using-url-rewrite-module/ Leo Tang Microsoft Online Community Support Please remember to mark the replies as answers if they help and unmark them if they provide no help.

I did have a seperate site with redirects for each site alias but will be using this from now on. Ross Mason Inflecto Systems www.inflecto.co.uk
