What really Irks me is hosting providers that, for simple hostings, only
provide hosting on http://www.domainname.com.au/ and not
http://domainname.com.au  even though both resolve to the same IP
address on the same server.

Its as if web sites can only exist on www.domainname.com.au and no other
URL's in some peoples minds.
