How to make http:// goto http://www and get rid of trailing slashes

Update the .htaccess file as described below.

# To redirect all users to access the site WITH the 'www.' prefix,  
# (http://example.com/... will be redirected to http://www.example.com/...)  
# adapt and uncomment the following:  
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^villa-la-herradura\.com$ [NC]  
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.villa-la-herradura.com/$1 [L,R=301]
  
#get rid of trailing slashes  
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?villa-la-herradura\.com$ [NC]  
RewriteRule ^(.+)/$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
