Can someone explain the rationale of setting up a domain for just one blog post?

As well as seeming like quite a lot of effort, the fact domains expire means that content probably won't past 2 years unless you fancy keeping paying for the handful of visitors it'll get.



My rationale for doing this with linuxatemyram.com was so that people would be able to offer this FAQ to someone on IRC or irl without having to Google up that one blog post they once read on that topic.

It also helped focus the message by removing all the notion that this is one of many articles on a general tech blog.
