That can pose potential problems though. The browser will try the URL  
without the "www" first and then try it with the "www" if that fails.  
First, that will slow down your browsing a bit (fairly negligible if  
you're on a high-speed connection). But, the bigger issue is if the  
URL without "www" does respond then it will go to that site, which  
may not be the exact site that you expected to reach.
