This is a pretty simple use of mod_rewrite to force the use www in your urls.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule .? http://www.example.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]\
The first line is only needed if mod_rewrite isn’t enabled on your server (though the module does need to be enabled). Replace example.com with your actual domain name of course.

I have this one too.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.example.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301]
I think you have to be careful with HTTPS though because if you access https://example.com/securepage you’re going to get http://www.example.com/securepage
I used to use the one I posted above all the time. I haven’t tried it recently but it doesn’t work on Mosso/Rackspace Cloud. The one in the post does.
