From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   vanity domain n.   [common; from `vanity plate' as in car
   license plate] An Internet domain, particularly in the .com or .org
   top-level domains, apparently created for no reason other than
   boosting the creator's ego.
  
  

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   vanity domain
  
      A {domain} you register for the sole purpose of
      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.
