[RESOLVED] http vs www

[Captainkewl]

Hey everyone. I know that www. is considered a sub-domain, but my question is, when someone types in the address bar http://example.com and someone else types in http://www.example.com I know they will go to the same site, but because the 2nd person included the www. sub-domain, won't that technically be considered a different path to the same site? Also, if I submit http://example.com to the google search engine, do I also have to submit http://www.example.com as well??

Thanks.

You should setup a permanent redirect (301) from the non www to the www.
