    What does it mean when www doesn't resolve but just the domain name does

    like www.xyz.com gets page not found but xyz.com does, I am assuming that eventually in the next 24 hours it will straigthen out but I am sort of curious on what it means, the www accesses a different database of pointers?

    it sounds like a messed up DNS setting. If you recently updated dns, its possible it hasn't propogated yet.

    yeah it was recently changed, but what made me look at it more is that when it fist switch both the www, and domain resolved , I think, so when it stopped resolving it made me wonder more about it.
