Okay, this is just one example but I’ve seen this happen dozens (maybe hundreds) of times in Japan and I can’t figure out why. For some reason when a website has the prepended “www” in the FQDN, you MUST include the www when you enter the URL or it won’t work. This is really clumsy because it only takes a small tweak in your web server settings to automatically prepend the “www” to make the site launch properly.<\/p>\n

I just heard about a great Python lab and the URL was www.startlab.media. Since virtually every site will prepend the “www”, I entered the root domain name, and this is what I got:<\/p>\n
