From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]: | |
vanity domain having your own domain so you can have an easily remembered {URL} and {e-mail} address. The domain is usually served (often {vhost}ed) off someone else's machines. This is as opposed to a domain you register because you have machines of your own which are already on the Internet and which you want to make addressable via something other than {dot address}es. Whereas vanity domains were almost unheard-of in 1980s, since the invention and popularisation of the {Web} in the mid-1990s and the desire for {URL}s which consist only of memorable domain names (e.g., "http://www.pbs.org") for everything from movies to car wax, vanity domains have come to be the rule instead of the exception.
