Some web sites give there url as www.open.com and some as just open.com . Do
all URLs work if you drop the www?
Thanks!

Maybe, but not unless the webserver/DNS is configured that way. Remember
that www is just a convention many people use - could just as easily be
BFD.mydomain.com or ADORABLEKITTENS.mydomain.com :-)
