I have an application which is hosted on a staging server. If I use my application by providing my credentials, I can open URL => http://mysite.com
.
However, if I change the url to http://www.mysite.com
, the site shows the login page again to request the credentials (which I have just provided).
Now on the staging server, if I type http://mysite.com
in the address bar, I get sent to http://mysite.com
. But when I type google.com into the address bar, I get taken to http://www.google.com
. How is this happening?
My question is: when my application goes live and I type mysite.com
, will the url get converted to http://www.mysite.com
or do I need to do something to convert the url to one containing www
?

subdomain to the root domain.Here's a few ways to do it:
