Hi, <br />
<br />
I have given a domain name to my website developer, for example, fruitsalad.com.au &nbsp; <br />
<br />
I expected to go to <a href="http://www.fruitsalad.com.au" rel="ugc">www.fruitsalad.com.au</a>. &nbsp;But what I have been given is fruitsalad.com.au. &nbsp;There is no www as a prefix.<br />
<br />
Does anyone know the difference for an URL with prefix and with no prefix?<br />
<br />
Thanks.

Difference between www and no www
