What does the number after a www[number] uri mean?
uri, url, web
Solution
In a URL the number ie www2 refers to a host name used to identify a series of closely related websites within a domain. Such websites are 'mirrors 'used for server load balancing. In some cases, the specific hostname is obscured thus creating the appearance that the user is viewing the 'www' subdomain.
Problem
what does the number after a www[number] uri mean? Does it have any to do with a multi-site setup? Example: `http://www2.macleans.ca/2011/09/15/poor-little-rich-m-b-a-s/` `http://www1.carleton.ca/about/` What is it's significance?
