Options FollowSymlinks # This is not compulsory and can be removed if you are running a apache webserver.

rewritecond %{http_host} ^nodesales.com [nc] # Replace nodesales with your website URL.

rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://www.nodesales.com/$1 [r=301,nc] # This will be the new website URL i would recommend keeping the http:// as it makes loading faster.
