The Web is not a solely a graphic medium. It's not even visual. This is,
of course, a point that many people seem to miss.

No, it's not.

A limitation of the service, perhaps. It depends whether the service
handles domains or specific host names. For example, DynDNS allows the
assignment of wildcards so that any host name with the given domain will
be directed to the same IP address. It's then up to the server to
provide named virtual hosts (including www).
