It would be easier (and better) to standardise on one of them. Which one? You choose what you are comfortable with.

Anway, I’ve found a good .htaccess tutorial where you can actually use htaccess to change all URL’s.

It’s either

See ya

“As long as you have redirects set up properly, you can go sans www and still get the benefits of #1 and #3 under reasons to use www.”

Yes, you should definitely set-up appropriate redirects.

While you can “you can go sans www and still get the benefits of #1 and #3,” the question remains: Which do you prefer as the default?

Although I set the redirect properly, I got fed up and switched back.

I don’t know, but in my case the www tells me that I’m viewing a website. Instead, if it is forum.domain.tdl it tells me that I’m viewing a forum.

I believe that is the best way to decide when to use a www or not.
