    I just found this domain.

    http://www-nursing-careers.com/

    It's fully working, how is that even possible? Please notice the "-" after the www instead of "."

    You can go to that Url, can someone explain what I don't know ?

    it's an old trick, like registering www.wwwmyspace.com, etc. Kind of worthless since I doubt there's much type in traffic.

    Yeah thats right the www. on a domain is just a subdomain of its name, another example is mail. domain. Same goes for the name being a subdomain of .com.

    You can register the domain but people will think its strange going to www-
