I've come up 404 recently when trying to find sub-sets of sites. For example:

There's http://python.oreilly.com but not http://python.oreillyNET.com

Today I clunked at http://python.xml.com

Other ones come to mind: http://python.onlamp.com/ ;, http://python.devshed.com, http://python.apache.org, http://python.activestate.com/ ;and what would be truly insightful: http://python.google.com .

Would this make a more friendly URL, or just make too many entry points? What other costs are there besides administration? Are administration costs that high? (SSL certificate, configuration, ??)

My apologies if these 404 URL's are rendered.
