My fella was telling me the other day that now some web address' are www2.

Because the internet is so HUGE. Is this true?

[Crazylegs]

I would've thought the net could grow to infinite, as long as we kept building servers! Good question though!

[Greedyfly]

I googled and there are such things as www2.website.co.uk - how strange!

[Crazylegs]

They sell electrics greedy, hardly the end of out beloved www.

[Greedyfly]

There are hundreds of them... Who knows? Seemed a little far fetched to me but is a computer whiz and a total geek and is generally right.

Maybe he read it somewhere and misinterpreted.

[Crazylegs]

This is interesting though!

You learn something new and all that

[ChuckFickens]

Nothing to do with size, more likely load balancing or geo based DNS.

www is only a hostname anyhow, you can make that part whatever you want when setting up DNS, www is only used because it's what people expect.

[Greedyfly]

It would confuse people I suppose seeing as the WWW is worldwide

Chuckfickens everything you just said went*Whoosh* over my head.
