I am faced with the same issue as Webgas.
Isn't there a possibility to make the .htaccess file change automatically?
Furthermore I did some change in the .htaccess file to have
Name.com - Domain Name Registration pointing at
Name.com - Domain Name Registration. But each time I install a new plugin I loose this changes, and need to re-do them.
I guess it should be a way that would allow the webmaster not ot touch this .htaccess file.
Any hints?
