Whoever owns "domain.com" also owns "www.domain.com" and "ftp.domain.com" and "sex.domain.com" and "anything-else-you-want.domain.com". Domain registrations are hierarchical. The difference between having to use "www.domain.com" and "domain.com" lies in how the owner of the domain has it listed in the DNS of the ".com" registrar and whether they run a local DNS for "domain.com" (or their hosting provider does). The domain owner has to have "domain.com" listed in the DNS database of the ".com" registrar, since that's the way things work. The name server for "domain.com" then can provide mappings for "www...", "ftp...", etc., but doesn't have to. If they do, you can use "www.domain.com". TTYL, DougF KG4LMZ
