I was considering the subdomain route.
Right now I have everything configured with rewrites so if anyone goes to a "www.mydomain.com" it will automatically go to "mydomain.com"
Mediatemple is telling me this will no longer work. Is that correct?
They're telling me:
in your current configuration, you will not be able to point the root domain, example.com, to SquareSpace without breaking your email and all subdomains. The reason for this is because SquareSpace requires you to point your DNS using a "CNAME" rather than an "A" record. Using a "CNAME" for the root domain, example.com, will override all other DNS records. The work around is to set the "CNAME" for the subdomain, www.example.com, then alter your rewrite rule to add the "www." instead of remove it.
This is what I have in my .htaccess file:
### re-direct www to root non-www ###
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http
://%1/$1 [R=301,L]
Right now in google webmaster tools I have it set up as "example.com" without the "www" as my preferred domain... does this mean I'd need to change that?
