That is easily solved by doing a permanent redirect (301) from mycompany.com to www.mycompany.com. Many DNS providers such as Godaddy.com have a free redirect service just for that purpose.
Do they? I have to look for that, I've been sending all those to a server of mine for that purpose, but if that server goes down or shuts down or anything, my redirects will stop working. Thanks for the info!
I'm thinking of making a paid version of this, with multiple IPs in each region. I registered rootredir.com. Are any of you interested in this? How much would it be worth to you per month?
Still a dealbreaker for me. I don't want people to bookmark or search engines to crawl my domain prefixed with "www". That seriously offends my sensibilities.
