WWW.mysite.com different from mysite.com?

I registered a web site as [B]greatbuysweb.com[/B] (for convenience because no one uses www. anymore.). I checked my site and I’m pretty sure that If you type in [url]www.,[/url] it doesnt work. Should I have registered www. and maybe it would have used both? I need to know.

@LeeUFeb 16.2007 — You don't register "www", just "example.com". The other is set-up by your hosting company. Your Web site should be able to accept either one, [B]http://example.com[/B] or [B]http://www.example.com[/B]. Remember, most people don't understand the Web so they may do either.
