If you are a bit techie, or know someone who is, you can edit your .htaccess file to sort this out - so that whether someone types the www or not, it always resolves to the same version
IIRC it's called "canonicalisation" and is recommended by SEOs to avoid possible duplicate content issues
A google for "htaccess canonical" brings up several articles that might be useful

This is the code you need for your htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^yourdomainname\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yourdomainname.com/$1 [R=301,L]
Save it as .htaccess & upload to the root after replacing yourdomainname with your domain name.
Beware to check first & see if there is already a .htaccess file there (select view hidden files in your ftp) - if there is don't upload a new one, you'll need to amend the existing one.
