Many area names acclimated for the World Wide Web activate with www because of the abiding convenance of allotment Internet hosts (servers) according to the casework they provide. The hostname for a web server is generally www, in the aforementioned way that it may be ftp for an FTP server, and account or nntp for a USENET account server. These host names arise as Area Name System (DNS) subdomain names, as in www.example.com. The use of 'www' as a subdomain name is not appropriate by any abstruse or action standard; indeed, the aboriginal anytime web server was alleged nxoc01.cern.ch,27 and abounding web sites abide after it. According to Paolo Palazzi,28 who formed at CERN forth with Tim Berners-Lee, the accepted use of 'www' subdomain was accidental; the World Wide Web activity folio was advised to be appear at www.cern.ch while info.cern.ch was advised to be the CERN home page, about the dns annal were never switched, and the convenance of prepending 'www' to an institution's website area name was after copied. Abounding accustomed websites still use 'www', or they ad-lib added subdomain names such as 'www2', 'secure', etc. Abounding such web servers are set up such that both the area basis (e.g., example.com) and the www subdomain (e.g., www.example.com) accredit to the aforementioned site; others crave one anatomy or the other, or they may map to altered web sites.
The use of a subdomain name is advantageous for amount acclimation admission web cartage by creating a CNAME almanac that credibility to a array of web servers. Since, currently, alone a subdomain can be acclimated in a CNAME, the aforementioned aftereffect cannot be accomplished by application the bald area root.
When a user submits an abridged area name to a web browser in its abode bar ascribe field, some web browsers automatically try abacus the prefix "www" to the alpha of it and possibly ".com", ".org" and ".net" at the end, depending on what ability be missing. For example, entering 'microsoft' may be adapted to http://www.microsoft.com/ and 'openoffice' to http://www.openoffice.org. This affection started actualization in aboriginal versions of Mozilla Firefox, back it still had the alive appellation 'Firebird' in aboriginal 2003, from an beforehand convenance in browsers such as Lynx.29 It is appear that Microsoft was accepted a US apparent for the aforementioned abstraction in 2008, but alone for adaptable devices.30
In English, www is arresting by alone pronouncing the name of characters (double-u double-u double-u) or by adage the byword "triple double-u". Although some abstruse users accent it dub-dub-dub, this is not boundless (although is frequently acclimated by the accepted accessible in New Zealand). The English biographer Douglas Adams already quipped in The Independent on Sunday (1999): "The World Wide Web is the alone affair I apperceive of whose beneath anatomy takes three times best to say than what it's abbreviate for," with Stephen Fry after pronouncing it in his "Podgrammes" alternation of podcasts as "wuh wuh wuh." In Mandarin Chinese, World Wide Web is frequently translated via a phono-semantic analogous to wàn wéi wǎng (万维网), which satisfies www and actually agency "myriad dimensional net",31 a adaptation that actual appropriately reflects the architecture abstraction and admeasurement of the World Wide Web. Tim Berners-Lee's web-space states that World Wide Web is clearly spelled as three abstracted words, anniversary capitalized, with no amid hyphens.32
Use of the www prefix is crumbling as Web 2.0 web applications seek to cast their area names and accomplish them calmly pronounceable.33 As the adaptable web grows in popularity, casework like Gmail.com, MySpace.com, Facebook.com and Twitter.com are best generally discussed after abacus the www to the area (or the .com)
