You don't need to?

it depends on the site, I believe.

Does it really? I've never actually encountered a site that made me do it.

That's simply because most sites these days are weak and care nothing for the public virtue.

Depends on how the web server is set up. Most cool site use apache, which by default hadles root hits and throws a user into the www directory with out any need not to. Sites that do not, irk me. Unless of course they do something else with root dir.

Apache did have a huge control over the ammount of webservers, until micro$cuk horribly cheated and payed GoDaddy to park all its parked domains on an IIS box, boosting microsofts IIS web presence dramatically. Feel the HATE! (Parked domain being one that is bought, and just not in use.)

I think IIS by default does not approve of such lazyness as forgetting the leading www. reference; though I have not used it it _years_ so I am prolly wrong by now. I should hope so.
