Default Re: WWW vs No WWW in URL

Great discussion. Here's my take:

You should definitely force one method over the other. A lot of people type in the "www" and a lot don't. Go ahead and force the "www" so that you'll always have it set up to the old standard.

The search engines also can see a "www" site and a non-www site as different. Forcing one will ensure your content all gets indexed under the same site.

Finally, two questions:

1) Is there an official "name" for a non-www domain? Or for the DNS entry you have to make in order for that to work?

2) What's a best practice for forcing the www on an IIS server?
