Never had this issue, code is like other code used for .com, is wordpress causing the issue?
Here is the code…
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain\.me$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.me/$1 [R=301,L]
Perhaps, not giving it enough time too, domain was registered about 10 hours ago.
Look forward to answers!
