Fri, 05 Aug 2011 13:41:53 +0000 http://www.yes-www.org/redirection/#comment-512 From what I've experienced, the effect of using 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. 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.

Thanks!

Are there any specific AllowOverride options that you have to specify in the configuration file for it to work? Thanks!
