The easiest way to make automatic redirection (301 moved permanently) from sites without specified subdomain to www subdomain is to use .htaccess file (using Apache server of course).

Options +FollowSymLinks
 
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
	RewriteEngine On
	RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^v-teq.com$ [NC]
	RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.v-teq.com/$1 [R=301,L,QSA]
</IfModule>

It converts URL requests without subdomain to URLs with www subdomain. It handles even request with specific site location or some script-like ?id=10&q=search.. stuff. For example:

http://v-teq.com ⇒ http://www.v-teq.com
http://v-teq.com/2009-06-05/… ⇒ http://www.v-teq.com/2009-06-05/…
http://v-teq.com/?action=test ⇒ http://www.v-teq.com/?action=test
