nslookup with or without www

When I run nslookup www.hackthis.co.uk I get 85.159.213.101, but when I run nslookup hackthis.co.uk (without the WWW), I get 213.168.248.249. Could someone explain why there are two different ip results from the same host lookup? And which one is effectively the real host’s ip? Thanks.

Those two are different

The one without www, will lead you to this site

Not in my browser, progammer. Probably an issue with mobile devices that @flabbyrabbit might want to know about.

@dloser hmmm that’s strange

maybe you should visit https://www.hackthis.co.uk

and then only remove the www
so it become https://hackthis.co.uk

it directed me to a different site

More likely a misconfiguration that results in it giving back the default site on that host.
