Please help!

I'm trying to view a website on my iPad.
It's www.luckwood.com.au

When I type it in it automatically becomes m.luckwood.com.au and I get a message saying 'safari cannot open the page because the server cannot be found'

How to I stop the www. changing to m.??

It sounds like the web servers redirecting you to a mobile version of the site, based on your browser's Useragent string. That is, your browser is identifying itself as being mobile based.

Some browsers allow you to change this identifier, however I don't believe Safari for iOS is one of them.

You may be able to try a different browser, available from the AppStore.

ETA: Perhaps have a read of This

Did a quick google and came up with this:

I wondered if the automatic redirection of some websites to their mobile versions in Safari Mobile can inhibited somehow. Sometimes I don't like the mobile versions and would rather wish to surf the original websites.
I'm not aware of any generic method of doing this, but I have found that a lot of sites only have the redirection on their initial page - so if you can bookmark any other non-mobile page on their site, and follow the links from there, you can get around the redirection.

Based on this, try opening http://www.luckwood.com.au/#!food-boxes instead of the main page.

Not sure about a long term solution, but in the short term, search it in google and click on the correct link.
