Would it be better to use namecoin for the domain name?
1 comments

Probably, and since untraceableblog.bit already points to his host's IP address, all that's needed is for him to configure that domain on the github side (and probably also untraceableblog.bit.pe for folks without .bit resolution).
What does the .bit.pe address do?
It's just a proxy for the .bit domain since most users cannot access .bit sites directly (not yet anyway).

For example, if you cannot access http://explorer.bit then you can just add .pe to the URL and access http://explorer.bit.pe

So someone in the namecoin project registered bit.pe?

And they just have a server running that passes the requests through?

Not sure who did it, but yes.
