By default your website can be accessed with both www.example.com and example.com. Allowing both can confuse search engines, in fact, Google penalizes this (duplicated content).
You should restrict the access to either www.example.com or example.com. Some search engines may have already indexed your website under both addresses.
If you run your web-site on a Linux server, you can force this restricted behavior simply by adding the following code to your ".htaccess" file in the public_html folder of your web-ste.
