The reason that I reported that the URL didn’t work was because the “dot” in “dot com” was missing in the original link. Good discussion though.

Typically, the hosting company will create a DNS A record for domainname.com <http://domainname.com> , then a CNAME record that points to the previous A record for www.domainname.com <http://www.domainname.com> (though there are certainly many variations on that theme, depending on how your servers are configured). Then you just configure Apache/IIS/whatever to respond to both domain names with the same content. It's not a router issue, it's a laziness/awareness issue. And enough people don't make the effort to get this right that it's always worth checking for the behavior you expect before passing along a truncated DNS name (ie, without the leading "www") and leading people to links that don't work.
