RE: What is the "www" part of a domain name?

The use of the www. and how it behaves is controlled (I presume) by your
server.
Our website is www.assumptionabbey.com and it will load our index *page*.
going to http://assumptionabbey.com used to load the *directory*,
now our ISP seems to have corrected this problem, but it goes to his home
page, not ours.

But then I know that the www. *is* part of our directory on this server.

Hi Peter ;-)
Speaaking to the Identification portion of your query......there is a free
utility called netlab that will Identift,ping,trace,finger,etc anything you
need to know . If you would like it let me know and I'll be happy to email
it to you
As to the use of the "www" it has become sommewhat redundant, and I believe
more and more the elimination of it from the url works, though I am in the
dark as to why...but Ted or Chris may be able to answer your question there
