You can tell the server to automatically append www on each query to your website using .htaccess. That is all incoming requests to a non www query gets forwarded to the host with www prepended before the domain. Although Google treats them equally now, yahoo and live search may not. So its still wise to add them to your website somehow. Its a great advantage to your site especially in terms of search engine optimization.
Here is the .htaccess script that forwards all request without www to your website having the www before the domain name.

One thing to keep in mind is that if you use any type of login system with passwords, it will no longer work with a 301 direct via .htaccess. Nobody seems to give this info...but here it is!
