The company I work for specializes in heavy gauge stamping. A search result on Yahoo shows our website as: rockfordtoolcraft.com, dropping the www, the link does not work. Using other search engines like Google and AOL, the proper result shows.
http://www.rockfordtoolcraft.com/heavystamping.html
Does anyone have any insight as to why this may be happening only on Yahoo and who I might contact to correct this problem?
Thank you.
I am very surprised that your web hosting company does not have a 301 redirect to cover www and non www references.Quote:

You should put a htaccess file in your domain root to temporarily cover this and contact your host so that they can make a permanent correction in their server settings.
Here is info on how you can create a 301 redirect in a htaccess file This will only work if you are hosted on a *nix server NOT a windows server:

If you are hosted on a windows server you can use vbscript to create a temporary 301 redirect until your host edits IIS and makes a permanent one

Thank you for all of the information. I contacted the web host and they said
they would correct the problem.
