- pllbnk 12y agoIf there actually existed domain names with underscores, probably many casual internet users wouldn't know how to type them.
- evmar 12y agoI think phreeza's point was that underscores aren't allowed in host names. (Officially, at least. I feel like I've seen them work and then sometimes seen them not work.)
