No reason is given why you should use www. The only arguments presented here are a couple technical issues with having naked domains. But you could have w.example.com or foo.example.com and address those same problems.
- notatoad 12y agoyou should use www because it is the convention, and no meaning is assigned to it. if you use w.example.com people will assume the w has some meaning, or try to read your domain as "wexample"
- _greim_ 12y agoIf that's the only valid reason to use "www" (as opposed to "mmm" or anything else) then why wouldn't an article titled "Why use www?" mention it? It seems like people are just looking for ways to rationalize their preference for seeing "www" in URLs, so are latching onto any and every possible argument to justify that bias. There are a few valid considerations on both sides, but ultimately this strikes me as just the latest bit of churn in tech fashion.
