Why do websites use "www"?
GeneralClass 12AllAnswered 27 Mar 2026
Answer
A: "WWW" stands for "World Wide Web." Historically, it was used as a subdomain to indicate the web server hosting a website, distinguishing it from other services like FTP or email servers. While many modern websites no longer require typing "www" (both "www.example.com" and "example.com" work), some sites still use it for technical reasons related to DNS configuration, cookie management, or branding consistency.
