But google.com is the same as www.google.com? and ycombinator.com is the same as www.ycombinator.com? Got what I mean!

I am talking about the "www" which is the acronym of "world wide web", and it's automatically assigned to any domain name, so usually domain.com and www.domain.com points to the same host, unles if the sysadmin changes it which rarely happens.

I am talking about the "www." and NOT any other subdomain that the sysadmin/webmaster can add/change or remove.

I am sorry if you misunderstand what I am talking about.

The www. subdomain is not necessary and you can have a different cname value there. It can point to another domain for instance.

Oh really? I am sorry because I did not know it before. Thanks for informing me, I really appreciate it. I am so glad that I am learning something new here everyday.

Thank you so much for your explanation, I really appreciate it.
