Please log in for more thread options Just www.domain.etc The prefix identifies the protocol (as you probably know) and may help some more "challenged" software to identify a URL in electronic form but it's really redundant when committed to paper and ink. The unadorned form also seems to be the more commonly used, on commercial vans, billboards, flyers, etc. at least around here. -- Rich Webb Norfolk, VA | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

If they don't, then they are not in that group that uses the web. If it works with and without the "www", you could drop that also, but I would leave it there so there is no confusion at all, as WWW indicates World Wide Web to most people. Some way out URL's may not indicate that it is even a web address, with many new TLD (Top Level Domain) names appearing that are unrecognizable as a TLD's.

I use Internet Explorer, and it does not automatically add "www" to all websites. AFAIK, one would have to buy both "www.domain.suffix" AND "domain.suffix". Re: HTTP, tho', usually people only include things that are not exactly http://, such as https:// . HTH! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
