remove www domain redirect

When I add a domain, domain.com automatically gets redirected to www.domain.com.

Is there any way to disable this behaviour so that when someone goes to domain.com, they stay there, but when someone visits www.domain.com they get redirected to domain.com (the opposite of what is happening now)

I believe it can be done via .htaccess, also if you are using a portal software you can force it to reference without the www...

The process of making your domain a Class B is quite simple. All you need to do is create or modify a file called .htaccess located in the root directory of your site and add the following lines, changing the red text to match your domain.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
