Can this plugin handle www and non-www variants? about mercator HOT 2 CLOSED

@codecowboy this is a bad idea. you don't want example.com and www.example.com to both load the same content, or search engines will cut your SEO points in half, as your 2 domains will share SEO juice. The proper fix for this is to redirect one direction or the other. As a minimalist, I redirect www -> non-www with a full path follow and 301.

If you have some other use case, let me know!

FYI, Mercator treats with-www and no-www identically: example.com mapped to a site will make both www.example.com and example.com resolve to that site. However, WordPress will kick in afterwards with its canonical redirect functionality and automatically 301 redirect to whatever you have set for the mapping. If you want the www, have it in the mapping; if you don't, leave it out, and WP will handle directing you to the right one.
