If you use Apache as a web server, there are plenty of .htaccess tricks to do just that. Google around a bit.

Here is a virtual host definition for apache that does the other way around, I am sure it you could adjust it for what you want. Bear in mind you will need mod_rewrite available on your server. If you do not have your own server then you usually have to implement this in the .htaccess file as explained by Aleksey <VirtualHost *:80>   ServerName www.example.co.uk   ServerAlias example.co.uk

  RewriteEngine On   RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.example\.co\.uk [NC]   RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^$   RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://www.example.co.uk/$1 [L,R]

  RailsEnv production   RailsBaseURI /

      <Directory /srv/www/vhosts/example/current/public>           Options FollowSymLinks           AllowOverride None           Order allow,deny           Allow from All           </Directory>

        DocumentRoot /srv/www/vhosts/example/current/public

  ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/example_production_error_log   TransferLog /var/log/apache2/example_production_access_log   LogLevel warn </VirtualHost>

Hope that helps.
