Not to mention www.mycompany.com and its download mirrors, 
www.mycompany2.com and www.mycompany3.com.

Because all web-connected machines must be named "www" and you can't 
have www2.mycompany.com and www3.mycompany.com on different continents 
if you want to load-balance.

(Or, relatedly, www.mycompany.com, www.mycompany-uk.com, www.mycompany-
japan.com, www.mycompany-us.com etc. instead of using subdomains, 
different hostnames, or path components.)

Cheers,
Philip
