I am born in 1999, I remember having to write “www.” before my website in the address bar otherwise it would not work. Later in elementary school it no longer needed to be done to access the website. What happened?

They are called i-rules or wild cards in dns names.

Basically you are routing any c-name to the root domain. So www.domain.com and domain.com and reddit.domain.com all go to the same place. You can then subdivide the domain as you see fit.
