www.mindomain.dk eller .mindomain.dk gør det noget?

I have just relaunched my website, but the address is now

http://your-virtual-ninja.com

and before it was

http://www.your-virtual-ninja.com

Does that matter?

If so, whats the most effective way to change it in Wordpress/Cpanel (Or the search term so i can google it?)

Thankyou for your time :)

Yes this matters, because Google sees this as to different url's therefore you will get penalty for duplicate content. Easiest fix is with mod_rewrite in your .htaccess, but im sure WordPress have some option for it in your conf.

Wordpress burde automatisk 301-redirecte alle varianter der ikke svarer til din URL i indstillingerne. Ellers kan du indsætte følgende i din .htaccess:

Den vil sørge for at 301-redirecte alt der ikke går til http://your-virtual-ninja.com til varianten uden www.

It matters a great deal when it comes to your rankings in Google (search engine optimisation).

You'll want to pick the version with the majority of your best backlinks in order to reduce loss of link juice. Or you'll want to pick the one you think will get the strongest links in the future.

Plus you'll only want one version to prevent Duplicate Content.
