Some of the questions seem really stupid. ``Where did you register the domain name?'' seriously? How is that ever an issue. It could have been so much better if there had been a real interview. Lazy journalism?


Because HN readers aren't his target audience. Most people have no idea where to go to register a domain or host a site or how to evaluate different options.

Instead they chose based upon what other people have chosen. That's why he asks those questions.


I think they were actually an excuse to get some affiliate links on the page.


Nice catch. Some of them appear to be affiliate links.

I also think his book has a few businesses like Yourmaninindia where he tells the reader to mention his name. He probably gets commission for that too.
