Here is the code to copy and paste

# Make all requests have the www. in them
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^websitename\.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.websitename.com/$1 [R=permanent,L]

@McAbeeGraphics actually, figured it out, had to add a 1and1 workaround for Options -MiltiViews and it works like a charm. Thanks for the rewrite!

This gave me a 500 Internal Server Error, any ideas? I copied and pasted, and also added the disallow code. Does my web host not allow me to use .htaccess?
