What's the Difference Between www and Non-www in Your Domain?

Both www.yourbusiness.com and yourbusiness.com can point to the exact same site. The question isn't really which one is better — it's making sure they don't quietly work against each other.

Technically, they can both work

Either version can be set up to load identical content. It's a configuration choice, not a rule you're required to follow one way.

The real issue: picking one and sticking to it

If both versions work without one automatically redirecting to the other, search engines can treat them as two separate sites with duplicate content — splitting the SEO value between them instead of consolidating it in one place.

Which one should you pick?

Neither is inherently better anymore — it's largely a style preference at this point. What matters far more is consistency: pick one as your primary version, and make sure the other one redirects to it automatically.

How to check your own site

Type both versions into a browser and see what happens. If one automatically redirects to the other, you're set. If they load as two separate, independent versions, that's worth fixing.
