www or without www

[Santrex_]

Should I use url with www or without www ?

 

[Occult]

Do a 301 Redirect on the www to the non www

Go with non www

 

[Rox]

without the www is recommended.

Reason - short url = better

It doesn't matter if its' with or without www. Use the one you like the most.

 

[BattleDuty]

Doesn't matter. You can use www or without www.

 

[amsle]

additional to 301ing to the desired version you can also define it in your canonical links and set a preferred version in Google webmaster tools

 

[Desi_Boy]

if u have long url of titles then go with non www else www is no problem

same just use any one and set proper redirection to desired version

Makes no difference.

But www is outdated these days anyway. It was originally used because a server can host anything, not just websites, meaning the www subdomain was meant to point to the website.

But these days people dedicate the domain its self to the website, making www pointless and not needed.

I prefer it without www

doesnt matter if you 301 redirect

Using www is a better option.

There are at least 2 reasons that you should redirect all the URL to your web site to be with "www" or without "www".
1) Search engines consider www.hostucan.com and hostucan.com as different websites. As a result, if your website has been linked to from other websites using a mix of the two URLs you are effectively splitting the potential benefit of valuable link popularity.
2) If you enable Cache for your web site, then for those cache system, they will treat www.hostucan.com and hostucan.com as different URL and generate the cache record twice. This might cause some performance issue.

Without the www,- www is subdomain - just redirect it to non www. (y)
