many established websites still use prefix employ subdomain names www secure en special purposes.many web servers set main domain name e.g.example.com www subdomain e.g.refer site others require one form may map different web sites.use subdomain name useful load balancing incoming web traffic creating cname record points cluster web servers.
World Wide Web
since currently subdomain used cname result cannot achieved using bare domain root.when user submits incomplete domain name web browser address bar input field web browsers automatically try adding prefix www beginning possibly .com .org .net end depending might missing.example entering microsoft may transformed http openoffice http feature started appearing early versions firefox still working title firebird early earlier practice browsers lynx.reported microsoft granted us patent idea mobile devices.in english www usually read doubleu doubleu doubleu.users pronounce dubdubdub particularly new zealand.stephen fry podgrams series podcasts pronounces wuh wuh wuh.
