Website.com VS DuckDuckGo: Bang

Yeah, def seeing https://website.com and website.com and www.website.com, etc, being treated as "different" urls which means its a nice way to add just a little bit more load to servers. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

I just tried a www.website.com test and pinged www.website.com and got no results. I then pinged website.com and received results coming back from www3.website.com. So it does matter how the redirecting resolves. Source: 5 months ago

I made a website using the seedprod editor on wordpress. I setup a URL before switching to seedprod. I am apparently forced to use a /'abcde' after .com in my URL. Going to the website using the website name ending in .com doesn't bring you to the seedprod page, it brings you to the unedited/unused original wordpress filler text/template.

Where is the place to add personal bangs to DuckDuckGo? I can't find it in https://duckduckgo.com/bangs or https://duckduckgo.com/settings. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago
