I have also had good luck with the Google Webmaster tools where you can set the prefered domain, either with or without the WWW. However, this only sets it in the search engine results for Google and doesn't help with Yahoo, MSN, or any other search engine. Thanks for the tips!

If you have access to your DNS zone you can remove the A NAME record for www and set up a CNAME record so all traffic goes to whichever one you choose. Alternatively, if your server space allows htaccess, you can use an htaccess directive to rewrite www to no-www or vice versa. There is no need for a plugin. Set it up correctly and it doesn't matter whether someone uses www or no-www to reach your site, they will reach the domain in the way you want them to reach it. <em>Mambo Tutorials's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/MamboTutorials/~3/297076905/what-does-this-site-is-temporarily-unavailable-mean' rel="nofollow">What Does "This Site is Temporarily Unavailable" Mean?</a></em> Any site, not just WP sites, can benefit from setting either www or no-www and sticking with it.

Another thing you can do is go to Googles webmaster tools page and declare which version you want so that google never indexes the wrong one.
