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

Cuz they were too lazy to type that one keystroke asterisk for your infinite aliases.

You also need to ask them to do a

ServerAlias *.domainname.com

in the apache config file

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