Do you need the prefix “www” in promoting your website?

Do you need to enter the “http://”  or “www” in your browser URL address like http://philippinedomainsforsale.com or http://www.philippinedomainsforsale.com or www.philippinedomainsforsale.com in order to access a website?

The answer is dependent on your choice and your server’s settings.

If you want to style your domain name with “www.”, then by all means, do it.  Others however find prefixing their “www.” an additional burden especially in this twitter and SMS age. It is a matter of choice.

Technically, you have to find out with your web host provider if your domain name can be accessed without the “www.” There are still web servers which are configured to require the “www.”  Other servers are configured domain access with or with out the “www.”
