Is this form of a dynamic webpage address OK?

Hi

My site is hosted on an IIS server, where index.php is allowed as a
directory index.

I have been using http://www.mysitename.com/ as the main address,
but http://www.mysitename.com/index.php?v=value as a link to results
using the GET variable v.

I have found that http://www.mysitename.com/?v=value also works.
Is there any reason that shouldn't use this URL?

Thanks,

Karin

Not really.

On whether the address http://www.mysitename.com/?v=value is OK as
an equivalent to http://www.mysitename.com/index.php?v=value where
index.php is the directory index,

Could you elaborate on that?

There is no reason not to use /?var=

There might be more pressing reasons why you shouldn't *change* to
using that URL.

That method works perfectly fine, in fact that's what I use.

Like others have said, go ahead and use the short form.

Is there a reason why you ask this question? Are you concerned about some
future change on the server or something?
