    Ok I'm for too confused over this. I've just logged into my hosting provider and noticed i have access to cloudflare CDN product.

    And I've been told that in order to do my website needs to be opened with www in front of it and mine i believe is http://newedgemarketing.com.au

    I kind of know that google sees them as two which is fine but they've pointed me to a codex WordPress articles which is way to complicated for me to understand how to do. http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL

    Does anyone have any experience of this should i be trying to use both if so how and is there any SEO benefit to have one over the other? which is best?

    An interesting point of view. That argues choosing www. in case your website grows.

    Many of the biggest sites in the world choose www.

    However there a a quite a few massive sites that don't include www ... wordpress.com , wordpress.org, stackexchange.com, twitter.com
