Why does this redirect fail?

I want to redirect www.example.com to example.com. I've used cPanel to config my .htaccess file and added these lines to the end of the file:

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

However, www.example.com does not redirect to example.com.

What is wrong?

Please try this..

Keep this one rule for all the sub-domains:

# rule for forcing www on main domain
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mydomain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

# rule for removing www on sub domains
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.([^.]+\.mydomain\.com)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

Let me to know if its works.

Thanks
