Welcome to the Q&A Forum

There was a time when we had domain names, but there was no world wide web (am I old?).  It only made sense when we added the world wide web that we gave a sub-domain (www) to our world wide web server, after all that was what we did with our gopher server.  But everyone that says, choose your favorite, is correct.  It will make no difference. Note: I had email before I had a mouse.
