If you are using portal engine, you can use the mentioned setting in Kentico. IF you are using MVC, then you can configure your routing to do the redirection or use the IIS URL Rewriting rules - there are many discussions threads on the Internet with samples on how that rule should look like.

That thread is talking about IIS URL Rewriting rules. You can add rules through the IIS Management console or if you know the syntax, you can add the rules directly into the web.config file of your application (this is what the IIS console does - it adds entries to the config file too)

Hello Juraj,

Thank you for your answer. but immediately after I add the rules to web.config, my site stops working (500 error) and the kentico admin panel. In the error, it points to the rewrite line.

Then there is either a mistake in it, or you don't have the module for IIS installed.

You can download it here: https://www.iis.net/downloads/microsoft/url-rewrite

There is probably a mistake or syntax error. I would use Google to find some examples of how such a rewrite rule should look like. Or, although it is not clear what you want to achieve, but if you are using portal engine, you can use this setting in Kentico: Settings -> URLs and SEO -> Process domain prefix So, with this setting you can e.g. enforce always to have www or non-www URL or leave it as it is. But in general, handling this on the IIS level using the rules is better for performance.

Hello Juraj,

At the moment, use the moment to enter the name of the site both with and without www. In this regard, from the point of view of seo, there are two different sites (two domain names). We need the user to always be redirected to the correct url without www
