Are www or no www same?
Many people thinks that www and without www are same but its not true both are treated as separate websites (or www can be treated as sub domain) both www and no www can be pointed to different IP addresses. Usually making an A entry with same records in DNS settings points www same as without www.
What should we choose www or no www?
Search engine treats www and no www as different domains therefore page rank and page indexing of both domains can be different from each other therefore by search engine point of view website owner should consider having only single domain instead of two versions.
