    Why there is a number after "www" ? Is such a site trustable?


    Hi all,

    I sometimes see numbers after the "www" in the URL of a website, for example: www1.example...com.
    If there are two versions of the same site, one with number after www, and the other without:
    www1.example.com
    www.example.com
    then, could we trust this site?


    Thank you.

    Just extended hostnames, you'll probably being seeing it more in the future so might as well get used to it.
