Query on Public IP Usage with URL

[new_networker]

Hi,

I would like to know that if I host a site, like www.abc.com, should the 'abc.com' and 'www.abc.com' have the same public IP.

'abc.com' and 'www.abc.com' shows the same web page.

Regards.

there is no specific rules here.

But it is common to us the same ip for both.

This is also what Cisco does :

C:\>ping cisco.com

Pinging cisco.com [198.133.219.25] with 32 bytes of data:

Control-C

^C

C:\>ping www.cisco.com

Pinging www.cisco.com [198.133.219.25] with 32 bytes of data:

Control-C

^C

C:\>

Same ip address for both www.cisco.com and cisco.com

Gilles.
