Domain names aren't just there to resolve IPs for the web. You can have any online service resolve to it. More specifically people often buy domain names just for personalised email.
It's also worth noting that your point is directly refuted by the very first QA on her FAQ:
> Q: Why isn't there any content here?
> A: All personal web content is hidden on back pages to conserve bandwidth.
- Exuma 10y agoYes agreed, I didn't think about email aspect
- belovedeagle 10y agoDNS exists for more than just http and email too. I reckon you should learn more about how the technology works before telling other people how to run their lives and dispose of their private property. Or maybe... Just don't do those things at all.
- Exuma 10y agoI'm the CTO for a top 100 alexa site. I know how DNS works lol. I just didn't see that part of the site that explained that the content was hidden.
- belovedeagle 10y ago> I'm the CTO for a top 100 alexa site I'm sorry to hear that, I hope they have better luck hiring in the future. Why should someone have to serve http explaining to you what they're using their domain for? Why can't someone just have a domain for email and SSH and be left the fuck alone?
- Exuma 10y agoIt's my own company, nice try though. I see you've resorted to being an aggressive little prick though just because someone disagrees with you.
- jsjohnst 10y agoWhile the other person was way to negative in their response, I can definitely see their point. How does being a CTO automatically confer knowledge of how DNS works, especially in very technical detail? Seems to me a clear case of an appeal to authority argument, which is usually (and probably also in this case) a logical fallacy.
