I think in the context of SSH, use of subdomains is very common and to be expected. As far as laypersons are concerned, I would worry that they wouldn’t recognize foo.example to be a domain name, as opposed to www.example.com or blog.example.com.

  I forgot we were talking about SSH :) But in your example, you're comparing different structures. "www.foo.example" is somewhat more clear.

    Well, it was you who didn’t want to use subdomains. And with subdomains, we can just stick with sub.example.com/net/org.
