    That Damn www

    Can anyone tell me why it is that some hosts require that you type in the www before your domain and other hosts do not?
    http://www.mysite.com

    as opposed to
    http://mysite.com

    Thanks.

      its how its set up in your dns.

      just tell them to send the *. to your default web root.

      then anything.yourdomain.com will go to yourdomain.com

              You also need to ask them to do a

              ServerAlias *.domainname.com

              in the apache config file

                  yes, due to inexperienced tech guys and dns knowledge

                  ive seen BIG sites that have this fucked up, dont quote, but i could swear at one time microsoft.com was like that, dont quote me, but i could swear it...

                          You need the above only if you share your IP with other users/domain.
