Well, I wonder how that affects mobile. Since there is a move to mobile app topology of information consumption, wonder if domain names will still be relevant 5 years from now.
On the same note why TLDs, not just have a 'name registry'. Seems like technical dictates what is not natural. Why I can't have website name for example "burger" or "pizza" I get that there are designations and control entities. But isn't it a bit contrived? I am not against dot notation but whole synthetic user facing naming system...
- hayksaakian 13y agoyou CAN technically do that in this way if you buy .pizza you could technically host one website at http://www.pizza http://www.pizza
- amybe 13y agoI'm not sure what you're trying to say, but www is just another subdomain. http://www.pizza http://www.pizza is technically no different from http://superawesometasty.pizza http://superawesometasty.pizza.
- bachback 13y agoNo - if pizza is owned by one TLD registrar www.pizza and great.pizza would be two separate subdomains under that TLD. I'm not sure there are limitations to the subdomain under the TLD (to prevent collision with www). Someone can register www under .com and make a www.www.com.
- amybe 13y agoI wasn't saying they were interchangeable, just that on a technical level http://www.pizza http://www.pizza and http://great.pizza http://great.pizza function in exactly the same way, as far as DNS is concerned. Unfortunately, the same can't be said for most browsers, but that's another topic... And I'm sure www is a reserved term under most of the new TLDs. Haven't checked though.
