Put the name on the blockchain to locate the originating IP address.  The server at that IP would be queried for supporting protocols (http, etc.)

Perhaps the blockchain data could be formatted:
DNS://yourdomainname

Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

Yes, but this would be on BTC's blockchain.

Also... this is more than http.  It's data.  You could register a database.

How would that be more useful than the current, distributed DNS? We outgrew hosts files 30+ years ago.
