If a web address does not include the www does that mean the website is not on the world wide web?

if it doesn't have the www then the first name is the name of the server that the page is running from. so for the current page that i am on here is the url.\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/\nthe http:// means i am on a non secured server\nanswers is the name of teh server that belongs to yahoo\nyahoo is the domain name that is registered\n.com is the level of internet it is on.\n/question/ is the directory name of where the current page is located at on the server.\nthats just a quick rundown of the url naming conventions

No.\n\nBut if you are using a redirection script (i.e. you have many URLs that all redirect to one site), you may be in trouble.

Well, the .xxx top level domain application is being processed, but this is for the "current" Internet. \n\nA system that you talk about where data is verifyed is certainly a good idea, however, in reality, is impossible. What you are talking abot would need pages to pass a human's say-so - but imagine how long this would take considering the amount of requests there would have to be!!\n\nThe www2 system is already in place for alternative servers to one address.

No, but that expression is used in a lot of sites.\n\nIt isn't a stand alone web site.

That is an e-mail address, not a URL for a website.  It should look like \n"http://www.sitename.com"

You won't get into any trouble, you just won't have the complete webpage. The folder is the webpage files. ★

Addresses have two formats on Yahoo! Answers.\n\n1)  www.yahoo.com (no link)\n\n2)  http://www.yahoo.com (a link)\n\nSimply, if you have included the "http://" prefix, the website will be linked to. If you do not, it will appear as plain text. That way, you can decide whether you want to link or not.\n\nHope this helps!\n\nP.S. Technically, you are supposed to use "http://" even when typing an address into the address bar. But nowadays, our browsers do it for us, so people fell out of the habit.

Just because you can PING an IP address doesn't mean that there's a web server behind that address. There are plenty of addresses that will respond to PING but will not serve web pages.

Believe it or not, there are still businesses in the world that have not created websites. H & R seems to be one of them. \n\nWhy not give them a call at (312) 226-8737, and ask if they've got a website hiding out there somewhere. (Or perhaps they can just answer your question on the phone!)\n\nGood luck!

When a webmaster tells us that his or her site has fallen out of our search results, we often find that it's still included. To quickly determine whether your site is still in our index, just perform a Google site search for its entire URL. A search for [ site:www.google.com ], for instance, returns the following results: http://www.google.com/search?num=100&q=site:www.google.com. If your site is displayed as a result when you perform a Google site search for your URL, then it's included in our index.\n\nWhile we're always working to include more content in Google, sites can occasionally fall out of our search results. Our spiders regularly crawl the web to rebuild our index, but keeping tabs on billions of pages is tough work, and we may miss a few. Due to the addition of new sites and updates to the content of existing pages, some pages may appear to no longer return for particular keywords. When this happens, it's generally the case that we haven't lost the page entirely, but simply that other pages now rank higher than it does for that particular keyword. Please be assured that these changes are automated, and that our crawlers don't intentionally discriminate against particular sites. Our aim is to represent the content of the internet as fairly and accurately as possible.\n\nWe understand that these changes can be confusing. If your site is well-linked from others on the web, it's likely that we'll add it again during our next crawl. While we can't guarantee that any page will consistently appear in our index or appear with a particular rank, our webmaster guidelines offer helpful tips for maintaining a crawler-friendly site. Following these recommendations should increase the likelihood that your site will show up consistently in our search results.

Technically, yes. A look up in the "repository" can tell a person where the servers are hosted, and that can give an idea whether the website is from the US or any other coutry. Then its just a matter of rejecting requests for those particular websites.

The actually IP address is just a set of numbers.... I don't think the search engines give a monkey's what domain they were sourced from!!?
196168
if the domain was improperly spelled and does not exist it will come back as undeliverable.\n\nif the user is misspelled then it will go the the catch all inbox for that domain which may or may not accept it and may or may not be looked at depending on how they manage it at that domain.\n\nuser@domain.com

Its actually the other way round... in order to delete a website ( or say make it non-existent) you need to remove all its links from the web pages containing them.

The Website may not be protected.
