How hard is it to type .com? And why should the YC admins be encouraged to create a 'news' subdomain just to work around your laziness?

- vimalg2 17y agoI'm assuming you mean a 'www.news' subdomain. I'm not aware of any other Best practices used by webmasters to handle naive/new visitors. Also, I don't know about the flexibility of news.yc's custom Arc webserver. I suppose it might be much more work than adding a new VHOST conf file.
- jacquesm 17y agoA subdomain of 'news' in this context is everything that ends on news.ycombinator.com. That is what you are asking for. Technically speaking ycombinator is a subdomain of com and news is a subdomain of ycombinator.com and so on. www.news is not a valid subdomain name afaik, because it incorporates the separator in to the domain name. So to make things work like you suggest a subdomain of news.ycombinator.com would have to be created.
