.htaccess 301 doesn't work

[brigitte.sutherland32]

I am trying to redirect http://www.brigitteland.com to http://brigitteland.com as a 301 in my htaccess.

I've tried various scripts and with the x10hosting inserted code I now can't even access the non www page as it is redirecting to the www, the exact opposite of what I'm trying to do!

Anyone got the right code for this?

This is what x10 generated via CP:

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.brigitteland.com$
RewriteRule ^/?$ "http\:\/\/brigitteland\.com" [R=301,L]

Redirecting through .htaccess though is straightforward it becomes tricky if it doesnot work.
Normally a user feels why the standard codes given everywhere on websites dont work here.Its because of certain faults in copy/paste we do or the server settings..etc.
But if you do the redirect through cpanel ,which is the hosting account's caretaker, then there should not be faults.
Here is a basic tutorial.Hope this helps
If it does not ,revert back

Thanks vv.bbcc19, I've just noticed the server can take time to update as well. Patience seems to be the answer here!

Update: It's working, yay!

Cheers,
