Yes... in the same way that you can set up a street food cart in the middle of nowhere without needing special permits. But good luck making any kind of meaningful change in your life with that unless your food cart happens to sell meth

Its a shave "ice" stand and its going to be in the 50000.xyz range, thank you very much
I bought an xyz for a throwaway project a couple of years from NameCheap. They renewed it at 10/year, although I could swear it didn’t say “first year only” (I’m used to the special first year pricing scams from GoDaddy and 1and1, and I passed on a similar first year special for other gTLDs from NC so I really don’t think that was the case.)

This is confirmed in the Wikipedia page for Network Solutions, who held a monopoly on registration at the time. “Following the acquisition by SAIC, the NSF gave Network Solutions authority to charge for domain name registrations. Network Solutions imposed a charge of $100 for two years registration. 30% of this revenue went to the NSF to create an "Inter…
Wow! I never heard about this. It happened only a few years after I was born. Back in '97, probably only the nerdiest of nerds would have cared about it, so I'm surprised that the judge(s) over this case ruled correctly given how new the technology was. Is there an article about it? Seems like a fascinating topic
The internet was already getting rather important by 1997, but true that it was a couple years away from the general public’s consciousness.

Numbers? Does that not defeat the purpose? I mean an IP address is numbers too. Who point of url names is to make it more human readable
how's that easier than just using the IP ?
IP addresses often change and are typically not owned/controlled by the person who is using it.
