I said top-level domain. Anyway, you have a better estimate, for the types of sites people here would visit? If HN itself isn't an example, then Github subdomains definitely ain't (not even close to the traffic of the main domain).

"io" and "com" are top-level domains, and in the example I gave, you can't even distinguish between them.

  • Well, I appreciate the correction: I meant second level (or whatever is most distinguishing for that TLD). However, even if what you say is true, you really cannot disprove my claim with one nitpick, you need to talk majorities. (And, in case it needs to be said: i really don't think the issue here is distinguishing activity to github.io vs github.com)

    • Okay, how about this then. Here's some of the IP addresses of posts on the HN front page right now:

        104.21.3.245
        104.21.68.247
        104.21.80.31
        104.21.95.131
        104.21.112.1
        104.26.4.133
      

      None of them have reverse DNS records. Can you tell which is which?
