Redirect only landing page with htaccess
In order to consolidate back link credit, and avoid penalties for duplicate page content, I would like to redirect requests for www.mauitradewinds.com to mauitradewinds.com However, I don't want to redirect requests for other pages in the domain, only the landing page or root page. There are scripts within subdirectories on my site which require the www prefix. Please provide .htaccess code which will permanently redirect only the landing page.
Try this
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?mauitradewinds\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^$ http://mauitradewinds.com [NC,R=301]ASKER
Thank you both for comments.

I'm looking at the site and it seems to be working fine.
Remove the L from
RewriteRule ^index\.htm$ / [NC,R,L]
RewriteRule ^index\.htm$ / [NC,R,L]

I get a server access error after making that change. I'm not leaving that .htaccess online, so the site may appear to be working.
