In agreement with bm. The domain (eg google.com) handles many services and the www kind of says which service it is using (www, mail, smpt, pop, ftp...). Of course, as www traffic is probably the most common kind, servers will most likely know what is expected, and act accordingly. Many servers are configured to redirect traffic from (eg) google.com to www.google.com. One reason for this is ...

Find out who owns the ...
Edit: to answer your original question, yes, any member of www-data can now read and execute /var/www (because the last bit of your permissions is 5 = read + exec). But because you haven't used the -R switch, that applies only to /var/www, and not to the files and sub-directories it contains. Now, whether they can write is another matter, and depends on the group of /var/www, which you haven't ...

I see some sites with urls such as www8.example.com or www6.example.com, but I don't know what www8 or www6 mean. Does anyone know what this means and if it's different from a URL that just has www?
