I’ve read various tutorials with slight variations, yet none worked for me. The frustrating thing is that there are tons of sources and tuts available but I haven’t been able to find one that actually worked. That is until today.

Thanks to Webweavers htaccess redirect article I was able to:

  1. Redirect my www to my non-www URL.
  2. Create a 301 redirect for a direct mail campaign I’m working on. (Basically I didn’t want to put www.hostwell.cc/hello.php – I want to print /hello and have it redirect my prospects to /hello.php – so I used a 301 redirect.)

While I’ll call that a success, I’m still trying to figure out how to:

  1. Strip the ‘.php’ ending off all my URLs.
  2. Redirect my /index.php file to http://hostwell.cc/

If you know how to do this or know of a straight forward tut dealing with static (non-dynamic) URLs, please leave a comment below.
