You're selling a redirect rule...?

  RewriteEngine on
  RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.com$ [NC]
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]

You want to charge gullible people up to $60/year for something that they could achieve themselves with a 2 line copypaste in their .htaccess file.

This is a scam and you should be ashamed of yourself.

Not only that, you have to point your domain to his nameservers. That looks risky.

So how do you do this on your own?

One can use the rule that clone1018 posted, for example.

Watch out, you are in the same market as wwwizer.com who offers the same product for free. You are going to have to distinguish yourself somehow to compete with that price.
