Otherwise search engines will index your website two or more times. A lot of people think that a website should only be published as <code>www.[host]</code>. I think this is wrong, using the <code>www</code> section is a old fashioned way of how companies have structured their DNS records. There are users which still use the <code>www</code> before tipping an url and others who don&rsquo;t. However we will allow both of them to access our website.</p>
