Why do some websites insist on the "www." ? (self.AskTechnology)
submitted 2 years ago by boomfarmer
Some websites will redirect example.com to www.example.com. Why do they do this?
A somewhat-related phenomenon is www2. and www3. second-level domains.

i think just an arbitrary decision. when you're building your dns record, i think you can specify that the naked domain point at a subdomain, or just at an ip. if the subdomain is pointing to the same ip, there really is no difference in what is sent to the browser, so you could do it either way.
i'd hazard it might be a cleanliness thing. if you point the domain at the subdomain, it's one less thing to change in dns if you switch ips.

If you have dynamic content it becomes slightly harder to interpret URLs if you're accepting them in slightly different styles. If a programmer simply can't be bothered to do it, the website wont support one of the methods.
