No, I don't. Why should I know that? So continue your explanation and my education, please --

A "domain" is just an internet address which a specific person registered and, usually, purchased. Am I right, or is it more than that; is there standardized software, for instance, that a domain is built out of? Is a university address such as "upenn.edu" a domain as well?

So you bought, in some fashion, "cruisingforsex.com" as Jeff Abrahamson must have bought, in some fashion, "list.purple.com". What agent do you have to buy them from?

"Servers" are hardware, right? So they must have a physical location.

In the world of domains whose owners don't also own servers, are there any standard business protocols for how to hook one up to another?

It's called "purple" because it's a separate domain, Villanova is only hosting it. But you already know that, don't you?

My domain is hosted cruisingforsex.com servers which, in turn, sit in a server farm owned by yet another domain. Neither of them is "responsible" for my content but, if I were doing something interesting to law enforcement, you can bet they'd both be contacted and my domain could easily be removed.
