Undoubtedly sufficiently sloppy (ab)use of terminology will classify even gmail.com as a vanity domain... As for dukhovni.org a friend and I share the burdens of root access to the server that provides SMTP, submission, IMAP and authoritative primary DNS for that and a handful of other domains. Is it a "vanity" domain? Who knows, that's a rather informal term I believe. In this thread, I took the term to loosely mean a hosted domain with no dedicated resources that piggy-backs on a provider's infrastructure. In which case dukhovni.org is not a vanity domain. If by a "vanity" domain one means a domain that stokes my geek-cred vanity, then, by all means, call it vanity. -- Viktor.
