I am trying to write a rule to permenantly redirect a domainname to another domain name
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.companyname1.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.companyname2.com/$1 [R=301,L]
This only works if the user remembers to type in www, if the user does not type in www in the url, the page will load but the image links will be broken.
Does anyone know how to adjust the above rule to it works with and without www?
I am using a LAMP configuration, apache 2 on redhat.

As with the Redirect directive, you can specify the type of redirect by adding the redirect code before the URL location rules. In order for your changes to take effect, you'll need to restart Apache. On a modern Ubuntu server, you can do this using systemctl : sudo systemctl restart apache2.
RewriteRule specifies the directive. pattern is a regular expression that matches the desired string from the URL, which is what the viewer types in the browser. substitution is the path to the actual URL, i.e. the path of the file Apache servers. flags are optional parameters that can modify how the rule works.
Simply put, a redirect is a client-side request to have the web browser go to another URL. This means that the URL that you see in the browser will update to the new URL. A rewrite is a server-side rewrite of the URL before it's fully processed by IIS.
You can supply several optional Rewrite-Conditions with [OR]:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.companyname1.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^companyname1.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.companyname2.com/$1 [R=301,L]
This should do the trick. The first Rewrite-Condition fires, if www is present, the second one fires, if www has been forgotten.

The redirect was not working for me and I had to adjust it, below is a working version based on the answer by @Demento.
# Parmenent redirect to webdesign.danols.com of all pages
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.kingston-web-design.com [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^kingston-web-design.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://webdesign.danols.com.com$1 [R=301,L]
