[edit] Discussion of "vanity domain"

Would recommend that the discussion of alternate uses of "vanity domain" be moved into a separate article to avoid confusion.

I feel this page is absolutely in error to include the negative stuff about vanity domains and its definitions. Has nothing of value in telling us what a subdomain is. My subdomains don't fit those definitions, e.g. wiki.*, ftp.*, map.*, www.*

Motivations have nothing significant to do with what functionality is obtained with subdomains. The section on subdomain shortening services should be removed, it has nothing to do with defining subdomains and appears to be more misguided negative discussion about vanity domains and their affects. An article on URL substitution might house it.

The root cause is the fact that somebody made vanity domain into a redirect to this article, which then necessitates that some mention of its alternate meanings be included. Maybe it should be separated out. *Dan T.* 17:56, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
