Good starting point with references is here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subdomain
In general, if the owner of the website does not
give you link with "www" such shall not be used
and referred, especially if other link is simply
working.
Don'y you see the link above for Wikipedia, there
is no www inside there, but "en" as in
"en.wikipedia.org" so each website can have
unlimited number of subdomains be it "www" or
anything else.
It was just matter of habbit in beginning of
websites, to use "www.example.com" as hostname for
those servers serving over HTTP, but there is no
rule to it.
