If your site is hosted on Apache, you can use mod rewrite in the .htaccess file to ensure all traffic goes to domain dot com

Basically if anyone goes to domain dot com they will be automatically redirected to www domain dot com.

Something like this in your .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

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

may i ask what is the .htaccess file used for?

HTACCESS files are a type of control/configuration file for Apache on unix hosts.

You can use it to do things like control user access, enable compression, rewrite URLs, protect from image hotlinking... all types of cool stuff.
