Just checked it for you and it looks to be working A-OK
Basically, if you try and type in finalduties.co.uk in your URL bar now, you will see that you're taken to the www.finalduties.co.uk website - just as intended.

Hi Guys thanks for you answers, i a bit of noob when it comes to .htacess but my file now looks like this,
# BEGIN WordPressOptions +Followsymlinks
** RewriteEngine On**
** RewriteBase /**
** RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f**
** RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d**
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^finalduties.co.uk
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.finalduties.co.uk/$1 [R=301,L]
CheckSpelling On
# END WordPress
As you can see there was already some data in the file so i just added the 2 lines
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^finalduties.co.uk
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.finalduties.co.uk/$1 [R=301,L]
How can i check if this is working?
Many thanks for your help

I agree with Tom
The issue is related to the www and non-www version of your site being indexed.
Here is a simple fix it using 301 redirects in .htaccess if you have access to it.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^finalduties.co.uk
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.finalduties.co.uk/$1 [R=301,L] -
You've effectively got 2 versions of your homepage live and ranking.
Using web-sniffer, you can see that both finalduties.co.uk and www.finalduties.co.uk are both giving 200 responses. Google is effectively seeing both versions as two separate pages.
This can obviously be a problem because it might lead to duplicate content. What you would want to do is 301 redirect one URL to the other.
Looking at your site architecture and linking, it looks as though you will want to 301 redirect http://finalduties.co.uk to http://www.finalduties.co.uk. For more info on 301 redirecting, follow this guide.

How to get the most value out of an additional domain?
Hi, My company domain is wire.com. We recently also acquired wire.chat domain What's the best way to get value out of that additional domain? Wire is a messaging platform so "chat" is relevant but "wire chat" is not really a high volume term We don't have a whole lot of content, certainly no resources to build out additional valuable website Is simply redirecting traffic the only sensible to thing given the above restriction? Any technical issues to be mindful of? Thanks, Siim

Changing Domain Name
Hi all, A client has just got their .edu domain and they want to change their current domain name (a .com) to this new .edu domain. The domain's CMS is Wordpress. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but basically I will need to create a new site (but they want to keep current design), move everything across to the new domain name, and 301 URL per URL? What about all the citations that the old URLs have gotten? The website is listed on Google listings/maps for some of their local keywords. Is there anyway to preserve this? Thank you all in advance.

Geo Domains & SEO Issues
Hi Is there issues to duplicate content on geo specific domains. For example we have a client with a .co.uk site who wants to create a .ie website for the local market, rather than sending them to the UK site. The content would be duplicated with limited customization. What issues would you for-see and how could they be overcome? Thank you

Google does not show my website anymore
Hi All, We developed a new website for the domain: www.instral.com. Before we build the webste, the domain was indexed by google and was showed as first result on a search "Instral". Without a website! Only a super simple hostingprovider webpage. Now, with the new website, all the website pages are found in google from page 7... home page is not even in the results. When i search on "instral.com" in google, it will show my website on first result including homepage. Is there something wrong with the website or DNS settings? Or mabe some other webhosting setting... am i on a blacklist or something? Bing and Yahoo are showing better results (first page). I hope someone can help me out here...
