Okay, I came across something quite odd today. I know how URI's work, and understand about http:// and https:// and the different .com .edu .org .jp .uk .net and all. But Today I found a website with this:
Just think of it (actually everything before .villanova.edu) as being part of the host name. They may be numbering their web servers to simplify their administration. IBM does that sort of thing with their various Internet sites like http://www7b.software.ibm.com/wsdd/
brinkster does it too, http://www12.brinkster.com <-- (one of the brinkster servers, will give you an error if you go to this url, but sites are on it) its part of the domain yes, and the number from my experience has usually been used to denote which server it is on.
No thats just droping the www althogether, a lot of sites do that.
42, the awnser to life the universe and everything.

Well, subdomains I know of. But it simply through me off because of the www. I guess if you think of it though, www could be considered a subdomain, or maybe the "maindomain", eh?
A co.uk is different, methinks. Every country (pretty much) get's its own top level. There's .uk .au .tk , ect... But doesn't the UK divide it into .co.uk .org.uk .gov.uk ect. ?
Well we dont exactly stop anyone else from doing that do we?

You're probably right on that. It was a while since I saw the article and I don't remember it being real clear to begin with. I'm pretty sure though, there was some conflict with the w3c or whoever sets registrar standards about it, though.
