removing the "www." prefix from web server addresses
I was wondering if it was possible to remove the “www.” from the web addresses by tweaking the .htaccess file like John Gruber has done. I tried to do it myself but it seems like the Rewrites seem to be conflicting, and it does not work. Thank you for any help yall have.

Take a look at Sitepoint’s <a href=“http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/showthread.php?t=356031”>Google FAQ</a> under Why does my website have a higher PR with the ‘www’ then without it?

Just insert the following after RewriteEngine On in you .htaccess file:
<pre>
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
</pre>
