What’s a good place to find a web hosting provider or a good web host? »

A website is showing up at domainname.com but not WWW.domainname.com. Why and how do I fix this?


WWW
————-

The World Wide Web (or the "Web") is a system of interlinked, hypertext documents accessed via the Internet. With a Web browser, a user views Web pages that may contain text, images, and other multimedia and navigates between them using hyperlinks.So for example, the host name for a Web server is often "www"; for an FTP server, "ftp"; and for a USENET news server, "news" or "nntp" (after the news protocol NNTP)This use of such prefixes is not required by any technical standard; indeed, the first Web server was at "nxoc01.cern.ch"[14] and even today many Web sites exist without a "www" prefix. The "www" prefix has no meaning in the way the main website is shown. The "www" prefix is simply one choice for a Web site’s subdomain name.The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) develops interoperable
technologies (specifications, guidelines, software, and tools) to lead
the Web to its full potential. W3C is a forum for information,
commerce, communication, and collective understanding. On this page,
you’ll find W3C news, links to W3C technologies and ways to get involved. New visitors can find help in

IF your web pages aint following above standards..it will not come under www.

ask your web hosting service provider

or if you hosting on your own computer you need to make you server program follow these standards.

hope this will help!

Cheers:)
