  All www URLs on mapped domains like http://www.ofthemisfitboys.com/ redirect seamlessly to the same content under the URL without the redundant “www”. The software will continue to strip out the redunant and unnecessary www.

  Be aware that www is an old protocol from way back when the web was new and everything was under separate server hardware. www (www.example.com) was the web server, mail (mail.example.com) was the mail server, ftp (ftp.example.com) was the FTP server, print (print.example.com) was the print server, etc.

  These days, everything is run under the web server, making www. redundant and a waste of four characters.
