So finding your site is not that difficult for first-timers. But regardless, the people who type in addresses or DNS names in full are rare and far between.


Agreed. Just to see again, I tried it on my wife's new computer with Chrome and it showed:

    Windows Server on aws.amazon.com
    Windows Server 2012 at microsoft.com
    www.winserver.com

Am I off-base to suggest that the IETF can address this "dotless" domain searching confusion with a INFO or BCP suggesting software *should* consider DNS solution first over non-DNS solutions?

It raises a fairness question as the method of communications becoming closer to obsolete from the user's standpoint, i.e. no protocol is necessary to type (hence via the browser, HTTP is the default protocol).

I am now wondering what if we tried to add a dotless winserver zone into our DNS. Will the software even allow it?
