I usually do this in the htacess:

RewriteCond %{http_host} ^www.mywebsite.com/ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://mywebsite.com/$1 [R=301,NC]

but it isn't working. Any suggestions?

thanks,
Clint

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.simon.geek.nz$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://simon.geek.nz/$1 [R=301,L]

Works fine for me. Note, there's no trailing slash on the domain name, which appears to be your problem.

I changed the "/" to a "$" and I also had to specify the RewriteRule as the Last rule with the "L".

Thanks for your help.
