Hi, just a quick question

Generally I don't use the www prefix as it appears to work fine and it's less key strokes :-/

Are there and advantages or disadvantages to using the www prefix or not using the www prefix in url links posted?

So:
https://xoops.org or https://xoops.org ?

Cheers,
Marty.

My understanding is that the normal convention is to use www to show that it is a web page. Some sites may use ftp. to show it is an ftp site or m. to show it is a mobile site. If you register as xoops.org though you should be able to use http://www.xoops.org on your site and it should recognize it.

On the same server you could then have an ftp.xoops.org, m.xoops.org, doc.xoops.org dev.xoops.org and many other setups and it would still be based off the xoops.org domain name.

So you SHOULD use the www to prefix your site but you don't HAVE to.

Thanks for that Rod. I never really thought about some of those points you brought up.

Cheers,
