    I own synamonstick.com domain (bought via WordPress). In the WP dashboard, I see

    WordPress Address (URL) = https://synamonstick.com

    Site Address (URL) = https://synamonstick.com

    When I type www.synamonstick.com on the web browser it goes to https://synamonstick.com. (www prefix not shown)

    My question is, how do I make the above to URLs point to https://www.synamonstick.com so that when a user types this URL it shows as www.synamonstick.com in the web browser ? (Basically prefix www)

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hi there, @arjunadissa2003! I’ll be happy to assist you with this.

    On WordPress.com, it’s not possible to show www in your site’s address. Even if someone types http://www.synamonstick.com, they’ll be sent to synamonstick.com automatically.

    This is done to keep things simple and consistent for SEO. Search engines treat www and non-www versions as different domains, so redirecting everything to one version helps avoid confusion and duplicate content issues.

    These days, most websites go without the www, and it won’t affect how people find or access your site at all.

    Please let us know if you have any questions or need any extra help, and we’ll be happy to assist you.

    Hi @maratz2,

    The “www” is a legacy of how the internet used to work. It is no longer popular to include ‘www’ in a domain, and there is no technical benefit to including it either.

    In fact, web browsers like Google Chrome no longer display www in the address bar, and companies do not typically include www when promoting their website. You can advertise your site with ‘www’ if that is your preference — we ensure people can still reach your site with ‘www’ by always redirecting to the non-www version.

    For more information, you can refer to our support document here: https://wordpress.com/support/www-versus-non-www-domains/

    Let me know if you have other questions!
