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?

You couldn't access any pages using the bbc.co.uk/sitename address up until recently because it would just redirect to the
www.bbc.co.uk homepage.
Apparently this was because bbc.co.uk was a gateway to the email and they had to do something about it as people were trying to access it all the time and got a error page, so they stuck up a 'dummy' BBC homepage that just redirected to the
www.bbc.co.uk site.
Even now, when you type in bbc.co.uk/sitename it redirects to
www.bbc.co.uk/sitename - it has been fixed recently because the BBC have dropped the BBCi brand and have rebranded their website to bbc.co.uk.
