How do I do a 301 redirect my domain i.e. example.com to www.example.com? Also if I want to disable access to the whole website and redirect to an html page? TIA

Assuming you have mod_rewrite enabled on Apache, this should take care of your first question:

Code:

RewriteEngine on

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

Append this below to take all visitors to a maintenance page:

Code:

RewriteRule !^maintenance.html$ /maintenance.html [PT,NS]

Thanks swordfish, works like a charm on the virtualhost. However when I moved it to my .htaccess it's not working. Did I miss anything? TIA again

You mush have at least AllowOverride FileInfo on your virtualhost config.
