How come some websites don't start with www?

Question

I have seen some websites that are like~~~~> Http://2854317 OR Http://d2ybiz

Are those sights that are built to intentionally NOT show up on a search engine? What are the Pro's/Con's of doing it that way?

Answer 1

WWW stands for world wide web, and website addresses are purchased (.com is US based, .ca Canadian based and so on.

when a website does not start with www, it is being run from a private server. Unfortunately search engines will try to find the quickest hits first so anything WWW will be the first thing you see for the first 100 or so pages, and typically the private servers will not be searched.

Answer 2

Web pages can sometime be accessed 2 ways. I is the URL name "www.webpage.com", and 2 is by the IP address "123.123.123.123". With changes to the Internet in recent years a concept of sub-domains are allowed. There's usually a main site that end up directing you to the sub-site. Ex. "subdomain.webpage.com" is usually controlled by "www.webpage.com:.

Answer 3

Whatever we type on the Address bar it will be converted to IP Address. So there is no rules to type as www.

Answer 4

However, when a site is given as a series of random characters or a single number, it mostly suggests some suspicious activity. Don't visit these sites, especially if you're naive enough to use MSIE.

Answer 5

www means world wide web

There's no rule that says that websites must begin with www. It's just something that many people have adopted and become accustomed to. http://answers.yahoo.com/ is another example.
