An Seo Website Analysis Tool Keeps Telling Me To Set Up A 301 Direct Between The Www.domain.com And Domain.com?

However I don’t know where to set this up as:
-I brought my domain through godaddy.com AND
-My site is hosted as an addon domain through another hosting provider
Do I set up the 301 direct from godaddy.com OR the control panel of the hosting provider OR somewhere else?

    This is done by using a .htaccess file, and works fine with GoDaddy.
    Let me show you how I did this for my own website.
    You need to choose whether your site should appear with the www or without it after the page loads. I suggest having it appear WITH the www
    Create a file called .htaccess (Note- nothing goes before the .) You can do this in Notepad. Insert the following lines:
    RewriteEngine on
    #
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.yourdomain.com
    RewriteRule (.*) http://www.yourdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
    The only thing you should change is replace yourdomain with what your domain really is. Also, replace com with org or whatever if your domain is not a .com.
    This will result in a page requested as yourdomain.com returning a 301 message to the browser (and Googlebot) saying the page has permanently moved and the correct page name is http://www.yourdomain.com
    This is exactly what you want. Upload the file to your server root, and you’re done.
    IMPORTANT: If you make any mistakes in this file, be aware that it will mess up the server, which will not deliver any pages at all until you either delete the .htaccess file or fix it.
    By the way, in Google Webmaster Tools, make sure you specify the same preference- that you want the www.

    Ask your hosting provider’s technical staff if they can create a redirect for you. They just need to add a virtual host to their configuration files.
