Are you sure of this point? The owner of lilypond.org can provide any subdomain (blog.lilypond.org www.lilypond.org foo.lilypond.org etc.) for free in a simple edition of the zone file. It's the owner of .org that decided to make the subdomain lilypond.org available for money. This principle is recursive : whoever owns blog.lilypond.org can provide an infinity of subdomains ( foo.blog.lilypond.org ) by editing a single file. To say it another way the owner of foo.lilypond.org does not have to talk to the owner of .org but only to the owner of lilypond.org. For the technical details it's explained here (but it's in french sorry) by a french associative internet provider fdn (french data network) : http://www.fdn.fr/Formation-DNS-Mail.html Hop it helps.
