- mmahemoff 14y agoHe's probably thinking of a dash. They were a lot more common in '90s domain names, I guess people weren't so used to concatenating words together at the time and it wasn't certain that SpaceFreeDomains would end up winning.
- rplnt 14y agoI wonder if it has anything to do with mobile phones and their limited keyboards.
- InclinedPlane 14y agoI think the reporter is mistaken. Hostnames never could contain underscores, though sub-domains can.
