How do you create the name for a website by trying to tell someone how to get to it over the phone? Doesn't the DNS entry have to exist first?

How do you create the name for a website by trying to tell someone how to get to it over the phone? Doesn't the DNS entry have to exist first?
- comprev 3y ago"Hey check out this website I discovered - it's called Slashdot" "It's called what!?" "Slashdot" "How do you spell that?" "http://slashdot.org http://slashdot.org" "Hang on, what? How many slashes and dots?"
- RoyGBivCap 3y agoSo the conversation of what might happen occurred before the site was created?
- comprev 3y agoSee the FAQ for an official answer - https://slashdot.org/faq https://slashdot.org/faq I probably got the telephone part mixed up but was right about being confusing to read aloud. Can’t get a better source that /. itself!
- RoyGBivCap 3y agoI have a 6 digit /. id and somehow never knew this. Thanks!
