Re: [AFMUG] www
Me too. I remember getting a special doo-dad from US Robotics (or someone?) that did auto-dial so that we could use more than one computer on the net at the same time. That experience was part of what drove us to become a WISP.

Re: [AFMUG] www
I thought the same thing. Netscape added the www, then I switched to IE which didn’t, so I got in the habit of always typing it.

I watched over my dads shoulder recently as he very carefully typed www.somedomain.com. In the google search box.

Re: [AFMUG] www
There are some companies that don't do foo.com and you have to do the www sub domain. You're just being proactive.

Re: [AFMUG] www
Make sure to add http:// at the beginning and / at the end! Which the kids probably refer to (incorrectly) as a backslash. Actually, Firefox perpetuates the idea that domain.tld is equivalent to www.domain.tld by adding the www for you if it doesn't work without it. There is actually no technical reason why a website hostname has to begin with www, it could be www2 or fubar. In the case of fubar.domain.tld, hosting companies would refer to that as a subdomain, which I dislike. -Original Message- From: Travis Johnson Sent: Thursday, March 05, 2015 8:19 PM To: af@afmug.com Subject: [AFMUG] www Hey...

Re: [AFMUG] www
I think the RFC says domain.com should have an A recordwhich would actually make it a hostname. On 3/5/2015 9:28 PM, Keefe John wrote: DOMAIN.COM IS NOT A HOSTNAME! This is the way it should be.
