Every website used to be like “www.example.com”. Now I rarely encounter this “www.”. Why did it even exist and where has it gone? I also used to run into websites with legitimate domains, but “ww1.” instead of “www.”, these were probably phishing sites, but how did this actually work on top of legitimate domains?

    This is wrong, it’s not there anymore, it used to be, but now lots of pages don’t even redirect it, they just simply don’t work.
