URL´s without a domain?

Few minutes ago I´ve tried to access planet z as usual. I was to quick on my keyboard and I typed www.pl and hit enter.
What´s this?

I await a big car in front of my studio.
Few men will climb out the car with black sunglasses and a angry face. I´am doomed.

Chris, nothing spooky here. There is a domain, it is www.pl in this case. Some weird twisted-brainee just happened to reserve domain called www...

(The first www there's usually has really nothing to do with www, it's just the name of the server machine and pretty often it is set as the default machine for a domain. So microsoft com works as well as http://www.microsoft.com)

In case you don't believe, http://www.www.pl works as well

Chris, you don't use something like the favourites bar in IE? instead of typing every url?

No I don´t use favourites. I like to type, maybe this is the biggest challange when you are work with computers instead of clicking here and there only.

Sure, you can name a site whatever as long as it doesn't contain special characters and white space (only letters and numbers)
