I wonder if there's a business opportunity there: make it easy to own a personal domain name and use it with various other services. So instead of having to monkey with MX records for mail, you just say "I'm using provider X and here is my account info.". If distributed social networks ever go anywhere (a dubious proposition, I'll admit) then automatic configuration/hosting could be bundled, with all the necessary configuration and DNS records done for the user.
Of course this magical company could go bust, but even if it did, the users would technically be able to migrate to one or more other providers without losing anything, including URLs.
