I just purchase a domain name from GoDaddy and when going to the website it is only example.com and not www.example.com or http://example.com. Why is this? I have not been able to find any examples of this while doing some searching.
No http:// or www in front of URL when visiting newly purchase domain from GoDaddy
url;http;no www
http is a protocol, it's always present on a full URI. It can be replaced by other protocols such as FTP or HTTPS.the www. is a subdomain. This is part of a fully qualified domain name.If you're looking to implement a subdomain, then your server needs to reply to the request and you need to set it as valid in your DNS.
