Easier to wire up services to each other with domain names, serviceA.domain.tld is obvious, domain.tld:1234 is not

There is also path based, e.g. domain.tld/serviceA, domain.tld/serviceB

    Won't work for many services, either they do some websocket stuff or they make assumptions about the URL or whatever. Subdomains are the way to go.
