Saying goodbye to www. @thetechangel.com

Since April of 2009 thetechangel.com has stopped using www. in it’s URLs.

thetechangel.com - no more www.

thetechangel.com - no more www.

There are many reasons for this change:

  1. “www” is redundant.
  2. “www” is hard to say.
  3. “www” is a to type or write.
  4. Think about it. Did you read something cool at “www.thetechangel.com”, or did you read it at “thetechangel.com”
  5. “www” is an old way of the and just no longer needed.
  6. You don’t use it when emailing someone i.e. someone@www.thetechangel.com, just someone@thetechangel.com.

This should make navigating to the site far easier.

For those with bookmarks / favourites, links from other sites and from messages will automatically get redirected over to the non-www. site. It would however be helpful for those sites that do link with www. to update their links to reflect this change.

Regular users do not need do anything or change their settings.

The other reason for the change is that some people will type the URL without www. and will get an error message. Some of these will be annoyed, and some of them won’t even bother to add the www and instead go somewhere else. By doing this change thetechangel.com is helping to keep some web visitors.
