Answer 1

Give this a try, put this in your htaccess in the root of your site.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com$
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]

replace example.com with your domain.

Answer 2

Create a .htaccess file in each of the directories with the folowing statement

Redirect 301 / http://anyothersite.com/
