Two answers are always better than one, especially when they agree. :)

Also, please note that WordPress.com automatically removes the “www” from all URLs.

WordPress.com does not use the WWW either on the standard subdomain URLs here, or on mapped domain names. If someone types your domain name in with the WWW, it will automatically be redirected to the non-WWW domain name.

www is an old protocol from back when everything was under a separate server. www (www.example.com) was the web server, mail (mail.example.com) was the mail server, ftp (ftp.example.com) was the FTP server, print (print.example.com) was the print server, etc.

These days, everything is run under the web server, making www. redundant and a waste of four characters.

I am having difficultly figuring out how to get the www. part of my domain name. At the minute whenever I type http://www.DJJustJack.com the site loads up, but when it does it shows up as http://djjustjack.com/ . I know this sounds funny, but really it (to me) does not look professional. If anyone could help me out that would be awesome!

Thanks,
Jack
