Last month, my website is showing on Google SERPS as [example.com...] .
But last week, Google made a major crawl and it became [example.com...] .
Why does this happen? I read many articles that Google recognize this pages as different URLs. I have more inbound links for non-www version and it have higher PR which is 1 compare to 0 with the www version. Because of this, the non-www versions should be listed.

I can't do a 301 redirect because my host don't support it.
Please, if anyone knows how to resolve this problem, I'll greatly appreciate it.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld, jtakano. You might want to take a look at the terms of service [webmasterworld.com], particularly about posting URLs.

I can't do a 301 redirect because my host don't support it.

Change hosts. It's as simple as that. Unfortunately, it is impossible to do any serious business without this level of control over your site, and any hosting company which can't offer such basic requirements as a 301 Permanent Redirect aren't worth using.

I have to agree with encyclo. If your problem with no htaccess is because your site is on a Windows platform, you should seriously consider moving to Apache.

I'm sorry. I don't know that posting URL's here are banned. Anyway, my site is a subdomain. Please let me know why google is behaving like this. How can I solve this problem, simple way? Should I do more inbound links on my non-www version?

More to one site is still going to split your links.

I think you're also confusing the term subdomain. In any case, as the two previous posters mentionned, you need a better host.

As I understand it, if you have a subdomain, it won't insert the www.

Can you kindly check my site so you will know. Type <snip> in google, it's on the #1.

Not only do you need to dump your host, you need to get yourself a real domain too.

I have to agree with danieljean, you definitely need your own domain name, especially since they cost very little to register.

I'd then get some proper hosting (Apache et al) and point the domain straight at your host. Sticky me if you'd like to know some good ones.
