In order to redirect all of the requests for yourdomain.com to www.yourdomain.com, you should set the appropriate rewrite rule. This can be done by adding the following lines at the beginning of the .htaccess file in your public_html folder:
From now on, when someone accesses http://yourdomain.com will be redirected to http://www.yourdomain.com.
Code:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^yourdomain.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yourdomain.com/$1 [L,R=301]From now on, when someone accesses http://yourdomain.com will be redirected to http://www.yourdomain.com.
