If you type ww. instead of www., why can't browsers figure it out? |
|
Is there ever a time that ww. corresponds to something? For that matter, why do we have to type www. at all?
This is important. My vacation is almost over and I'm running out of ways to waste time. Please help!

They are idiots!
They have to be told exactly what to do... :shrug:

5. Sure ww could correspond to something. |
|
I could have w.somedomain.com, ww.somedomain.com and the 'normal' www.somedomain.com.
