[IxDA Discuss] URLs without 'www' - having them work anyway

[Tom Dell'Aringa]

Morning,

Just noticed on one of our major web properties (1 of our 2 most important
in fact) the site gives an IIS "under construction" notice instead of
resolving to the site proper at the www space. I sent this in as a problem,
that the site should still work correctly (and should not be hard with a
.Net site, I don't think). While not common, people do tend to key urls in
sometimes that way (especially geeks).

I have a feeling I may get some pushback on this, I'm wondering if anyone
has any statistics or articles or whatever that might help me back up the
case. The issue is not www vs. no www while the site is working (which I
know there are various opinions on) it's rather the site fails completely
without www.

Thanks

Tom
