Quote:Over time many sites started dropping the "www.", because URLs are after all often typed in by people and yes it's 4 more characters than really necessary. But, "www." still lingers today and it's not likely to ever completely go away.

Well said!

In the end I don't think it makes any significant difference (specifically SEO-wise). You should just be consistent. If you choose no-www, make sure you redirect www to no-www. Likewise, if you choose www, make sure you redirect no-www to www.

Personally I'd go for no-www. It's just cleaner.

There's not much discussion beyond what Fábio posted above. I personally always use www.

I'm in the no-www camp but always put in redirects for the same reason that Jovan quoted. Whatever you choose, just don't make me retype the URL; that's really annoying.

But yeah, both are correct with redirects.

For large sites that need a CDN or static image serving it's also useful.
