I thought that too, that's why I said "I am not certain if this report is completely accurate or not"... Anyway, I still posted it. Paul Tan, thanks for point that out.

I believe www is only a subdomain, and site administrators can configure ww1.hisdomain.com, www2.hisdomain.com, abc.hisdomain.com or whatever... Thus, if he so decide to show hisdomain.com as the main website and then configure www.hisdomain.com as another website, he can actually do that. But for the majority, www and without www should go to the same website. If a website cannot be displayed because of missing www, then it is bad setup. Hot-screensaver.com is accessible with and without www - this is good setup :D Hi Chewxy, thanks for the comment.

Take XpocketPC (year 2004)... If you typed www.xpocketpc.com, you went to Xinghua International's pocket pc news site. If you typed xpocketpc.com, you went to a pocket pc porn site. Now both sites are dead Not really.
