problem with website name and hyperlinks

Question

problem with website name and hyperlinks

searching for the website name and clicking on it on google or simply typing it into the web search bar, it loads without a problems. the website is on the internet. However, when I hyperlink/send the name of the website to someone via email to announce it, the hyperlink doesn't work, it simply opens up an external page to whatever wi-fi server you are using and says it cannot find the page... whatever the website name is. why does the internet fail to load this site as a hyperlink via email but works fine on google or by typing it into the search bar?

the website name is www.ashingdonunitedfreechurch.org.uk.

typing it in the search bar of the browser or clicking on the link on google works, however when I send this via email to someone to show them the site, it doesn't load. depending on the wi-fi server, I use talktalk, a different window will appear from the wi-fi server saying it cant find that website, although of course it does exist.

Add http:// to the front of the URL in the mail message, and don't put a full stop immediately after it.

I have just tried that. when I click on announce on iweb after making changes it opens up mail and the site name link is already there with 'http://' before the site name. when i click on that it is still opening up a 'talktalk' page and is telling me, 'sorry but the page you are looking for cannot be found'.
