    I don't think that theres any problem with that, until and unless it redirects to your website.

    Are you using the wordpress platform? If yes, you can login to your wp admin, hit on general and then add if the www. for your website if you want to, and then the www. will be there.

      No big deal. You want to pick one though, www or non-www and 301 redirect it with a .htacces mod rewrite, if you haven't already done so.

      There is a "rank decay" upon redirects, but it's negligible.

    Orvn is right, make sure that you get a redirect on it. You don't want any issues with google thinking there is duplicate content out there. That is the one thing that I love about wordpress. With a click here and there those little issues are taken care of for you. As far as to your visitors, it doesn't matter to them. I have had sites with and without the www and never really noticed a difference.

    Back up your current .htaccess file then try adding this. Should work. I'd stick with 'www' personally.
    Code:
    RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
