Any benefit with www over non www?

Technically no, there is no benefit in using 'www'.

Practically, a lot of people (incorrectly) believe a website should have a 'www' and will attempt to add it even when it isn't required. For this reason most sites will set up 'www' as an ALIAS to pacify such people.

Basically it is the site owners prerogative as to whether they call their host 'www' or not. Personally, I think the only people that benefit from it are the keyboard manufacturers because they get to sell a new keyboard every time someone wears out their 'w' key. <g>

About the only time that calling a host 'www' actually makes sense is if your domain has more than one server, in which case
www.mydomain.com and www2.mydomain.com does make sense.. two different sites, same domain.

These are often confused as being sub-domains rather that host names though, and not many people actually use them in the way intended.
