Turns out, wordpress only understood one of the four correctly, which was http://www.fribit.no. (hmm will it understand the period properly…I…can’t…tell…)

It does however add “http” unneccesarily.

Lets do a test.

Will wordpress understand and hyperlink http://www.fribit.no or http://www.fribit.no? (with a question mark directly behind it) Probably yes.

Will wordpress understand and hyperlink fribit.no or fribit.no? Probably no.

Honestly, this whole argument is just as retarded as all other internet arguments. You see; normal people don’t give a damn about this site’s (or any other site’s) opinions about it (hell; it’s not like anyone will care about what I’m saying either).

It’s a simple fact of life; nobody gives a damn about this, so why give a damn about it? It’s not like typing www will cause a nuclear melt-down underneath the White House.

It's all visual. I think www is ok but sometimes a bit confusing. Anyway in my personal opinion www must live forever. I really like my site to see this way www.capivarasstudio.com than capivarasstudio.com.

From what I’ve experienced, the effect of using http://www.domain.tld is that users tend to prepend www. to ANY and ALL subdomain URL’s you’ll send them.

E.g. “Just go to mail.mydomain.com…” user does this: “www.mail.mydomain.com” which, first of all, doesn’t work and, second, makes no sense.

I prefer without ‘www’ since it saves typing and ‘www’ has nothing to do with my website.

Imagine these examples:

mydomain.tld
img.mydomain.tld
mail.mydomain.tld
cdn.mydomain.tld

In order of appearance:

Website
Image host
Webmail
Content Delivery Network host.

Makes sense in my head, and ‘www.’ wouldn’t make any sense here.

Interested to see that Twitter is no-www.

However, if you search Google for “Twitter”, Google displays http://www.twitter.com (yes-www) in their listing, but this redirects to http://twitter.com (no-www).

Does that mean Twitter have wrongly configured the www preference option in webmaster tools?

This is such a fucked-up pile of retarded shit; even the owner of this site doesn’t know how the internet works & he has the balls to point out other retards like him!

The whole concept of www. is stupid.

the http:// protocol exists for a reason.

If you want to view a website in your browser, you would go to http://website.com/.
If you want to access a server via ftp, you would go to ftp://website.com/.

Short addition: yes, I wrote “subdomain”.

It’s the “subdomain” pointing to the root of your “publicly accessible directory”.
That’s why you should use the “www.” prefix, and why dropping that “www.” prefix is preferred when using other subdomains like “my.example.com”.
