Domain with www. or without?

One of those things that's been niggling at the back of my brain for ages ...

Why can you access some sites with just domain.co.uk e.g. bbc.co.uk and with others you have to use www.novatech.co.uk - I assume it's something to do with the way they are registered?

For example, if you type argos.co.uk it isn't found, but if you type www.argos.co.uk it does.

Is it just to do how they were originally set up

I have domain names registered and they can be accessed with or without www.

I appreciate it's technically http:// etc but web browsers have come on a long way since then - Hmm, can you remember when BBC TV used to read out http:// ..... what a mouth full

Just curious, when most companies just promote domain.co.uk
