If a build a site, let's say www.supernewbie.com, what do I need to do to have people type supernewbie.com (without the www.) and still get to my page? Thanks in advance:)

You won't have to do anything for that to happen. It will automatically work.

As long as the server is configured so that it does work. Almost all of them are, but I still run into the occasional site that demands the "www" -- without it you see a DNS error or a completely different page.

Agree with James. Most but definately not all hosts are configured to allow both with and w/o the www. part.

I know several very large company sites that can't be accessed w/o the www. Pointed it out to them but they don't seem to care. Oh well.....
