title: Alternatives to .htaccess RewriteEngine?
body: <p>I have a site that I'm building at the moment, and I just noticed that, while www.mysite.com.au works fine, mysite.com.au still points to the crazydomains.com.au holding page, even though I only bought a domain name off them, and am actually hosting it on PythonAnywhere. So I created a .htaccess file to add "www." to the front of urls:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Options +FollowSymLinks
  
  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mysite\.com\.au$ [NC]
  RewriteRule ^.*$ http://www.mysite.com.au%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, mysite.com.au now gets "Server Not Found" as a response (www.mysite.com.au still works fine).</p>
  
  <p>I've checked to make sure the CNAME record in CrazyDomains is correct, and to the best of my knowledge it is. PythonAnywhere doesn't officially support .htaccess files, so it might be that? Is there an obvious thing that I'm missing? Are there any alternatives to .htaccess that would give me the same result?</p>
