who the hell cares about www!!! die www

i know maybe your site links start with this, but do u as a website user really want to type www.yousite.com ? No! you want to type the same addy with no www.

Tell me if u agree or disagree cuz its best that way.

 

I'm so used to typing in www, that it comes naturally, so it doesn't bother me.

 

Either way does the trick
No preference

 

In a way, www was there first. So a lot of people will type it, even though the subdomain doesn't call for it: www.subdomain.example.com. This is why I prefer to have my domains in the form www.example.com, rather than linking and redirecting to the non-www version. It's tradition, really, but some conventions are hard for people to shake.

 

I hate it when it DOESN'T have www. No www = Duplicate listings in Google.

 

i don't like it
but when i STILL THINKING what URL i wanna type in the addres bar, my hand AUTOMATICALLY type www.
LOL

 

I type www every time I visit a site. I am habituated to it.

 

Ctrl + Enter does the trick most of the time for me!

So I don't really care for the www ....

But as a webmaster I'd rather, use the www since a few users might possibly not understand that the address is a Website without the WWW. prefix. and for the search engine ... I use mod_rewrite!

So in short both the problems solved!

Yeh, CTRL+Enter works.. Too bad it's only for .com's though.

 

@tim ...

Do this dude ...
Create this reg key >

and create this key

Where http://www. is the prefix and tld is ur domain extension ... like .com .co.in .in .co.uk etc and %s is whatever word you have typed in!

Cheers!

If a website doen't work without the www then basically the webmaster is an idiot!

www is a "sub domain" like in this address mail.yahoo.com, where "mail" is the sub domain. Why would you need mail.yahoo.com if there wasn't yahoo.com?
The sub domain allows the DNS(your ISP name server) to direct you to a separate webserver thus allowing a website to separate it's content onto multiple computers. Other than that; it's useless.

A web sever that sets the DNS to a sub domain and not the primary domain is just "bass-ackwards".

Most hosting services used to ask you if you wanted www to even work.


The whole www thing came into play because it was at first believed that a website would have private areas and those areas available to the public would all be under the "World Wide Web" folder at the domain root and the rest of the site would be unaccessible to the internet. But that was foolish since most hosting companies didn't setup the server correctly and the entire domain was accessible. So www basically is a non issue since it never really went into practice.

On my web server the www just redirects to the primary domain and that's the way it should work.

 

Me to, I really hate this.

And I also made 301 redirection if this is without www.

I like www.

 

Nothing consumes time whenevr i enter "cntrl+enter"
