Why “www.”?
Classified in : Homepage, Debian, To remember
Many websites have addresses that use a www.-
prefix. Some people are encouraging this
practice, other are advising against
it.
I, for one, think this prefix makes sense and is really useful, so here is an explanation of my opinion. In a nutshell: the Wold Wide Web is one Internet service among many other such as domain name, mail, mailboxes or instant messenging; using a dedicated prefix allows to distribute all these services to specific servers in a convenient way.
