 * Hi all,
 * Not yet an IndieWeb user, but would love to get into it after browsing many sites
   for the past year.
 * I currently run [https://www.hammyhavoc.com](https://www.hammyhavoc.com), but
   I’m wondering if I should change the canonical domain to [https://hammyhavoc.com](https://hammyhavoc.com).
 * What would you recommend? Are there any notable pros/cons within the IndieWeb
   ecosystem like IndieAuth? What happens if I start on www, and later wish to switch
   to the TLD?
 * Sorry to inundate with questions, just super curious. This is what’s been putting
   me off starting this past year.

 * Well, the IndieWeb community considers your domain to be your identity. That 
   doesn’t mean you can’t change it, it is just the longer you use it, the more 
   places it has to be updated if you change.It is the equivalent of changing your
   username in other contexts.
 * Traditional redirects help. If you permanently redirect one to the other, it 
   will work well enough.
