What is the WWW for in the URL?
Why is it that sometimes ignoring to put the WWW before the url prevents the loading of the webpage, but sometimes it works? I know of some pages that will not even work if you put the WWW in it.

WWW stands for "World Wide Web." The WWW project, started by Tim Berners-Lee while at CERN (the European Laboratory for Particle Physics), seeks to build a "distributed hypermedia system." In practice, the web is a vast collection of interconnected documents, spanning the world. Tim Berners-Lee continues his pioneering work with the W3 Consortium at MIT.

I think it all depends on how the domain's DNS was setup, some allow for no WWW while others require it.

They set HTML standards which Microsoft just ignores.

Back on the original topic {ahem}, would it be correct to assume that the owner of, say, 'www.aaaa.com' would always be the owner of 'aaaa.com' too?
In other words, are they the same domain or not? |

that is correct. any thing to the left of aaaa.com belongs to
that domain. www is an A record (host record) in the dns setup for the domain of aaaa.com. you may also see other host records like mail.aaaa.com and ns1.aaaa.com, they all belong to aaaa.com if you want to see the structure of a particular domain, use the nslookup tool.

and in some cases, the www points to a special server designed just for the webhosting of the domain. it sort of creates a subdomain just for a web site.
