With the modern style of losing the “www” at the beginning of the website URL you may encounter problems – especially with statistical analysis programs.
I’m not really concerned with the semantics of whether one should or should not use the starting “www” but being of the old school I still tend towards using it. These days most hosting facilities utilise the dual base directories of “public_html” and “www” where “www” is the automatic clone of the “public_html” directory so, under normal circumstances, either URL will work fine.
