Its absolutily normal.
The "ecoxgear.com" URL is the main URL/website, with "wWw.ecoxgear.com"
being one of possibly many sub-URL/-websites below it. You could also have
"images.ecoxgear.com", "content.ecoxgear.com", or any other
sub-URL/-website.
Where in `ye olden days` the main site URL was normally never in use but the
"www" sub-URL/-website was, nowerdays websites are often dropping the "www"
sub-URL/-website and use the main one.
tl;dr:
The "www" prefix does not have any special meaning. It can be left out, or
any other name can be used in its place.
