* It’s free hosting without the need for a 3rd party account/password (you’re not going to get any obnoxious emails).
* You can get a simple website running from the comfort of your domain registrar’s admin panel.
* Reduce the need for dedicated machines by serving many sites from 1 generic server.
Attaching domain specific content to the zone makes sense in some cases (RFC), since the data is decoupled from a specific [web] server. In this case, a string which represents HTML.
