Guest Anonymous April 5, 2013 Share April 5, 2013 On windows 8 using Internet Explorer 10, whenever I visit http://www.tulpa.info/ (I don't type in the URL myself, it does that automatically), I get a page that says: Tulpa.info.txt You want to go here: http://tulpa.info http://i.imgur.com/ngONOfU.png is the screenshot. A tad weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pleeb April 5, 2013 Share April 5, 2013 IE seems to automatically add the 'www', I guess. http://tulpa.info and http://www.tulpa.info are hosted on different servers (I'm in the process of transferring to the new server, that's why something 'exists' at www.tulpa.info) Does http://tulpa.info take you to the normal site?

Guest Anonymous April 5, 2013 Share April 5, 2013 Does http://tulpa.info take you to the normal site? Yes, only the www version of the URL leads IE to the tulpa.info.txt section of the site. Thank you for replying so quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chupi April 5, 2013 Share April 5, 2013 My Firefox does the same thing. At the moment it's 19.0.2 for 64-bit Linux. The www version is on the new web host that Pleeb is still setting up, and the non-www version is on the old one.

Pleeb April 6, 2013 Share April 6, 2013 Didn't know a website could run without WWW.... Plenty do; twitter is an example. There's some good reasons why it should be used, however. Spoiler An image in a signature behind a hidden tag! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pleeb April 17, 2013 Share April 17, 2013 Never come across a website that had to use "www"... Here are some decent technical reasons (the static.example.com is a neat one). Really though, the reason we're using 'www' is structure; since we're moving from having everything on one domain to multiple subdomains, we don't want to leave anything naked. For example, the wiki will be on wiki.tulpa.info, the new community forums will reside on community.tulpa.info, we'll have article.tulpa.info up soon, and the main site will be on www.tulpa.info (you can see the whole structure in one of the announcement sites).

GuessWho April 18, 2013 Share April 18, 2013 WWW's are out of fashion. Many webmasters are redirecting the WWW's to the root of the domain for this reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chupi April 18, 2013 Share April 18, 2013 You should still have http://tulpa.info redirect to www for browsers too dumb to auto add it.
