Put simplistically, say you start off a small business selling something you make, something 'crafty' - Like little decorations made with glass found washed up and smoothed on the beach...
You may start by posting pics of your art to face book pages, and before long, you realise that you want to have a page on facebook, dedicated to your stuff. So you get it, and the url is facebook.com/CSsCrapFromTheBeach well thats fine if you are sending the link to people already ON facebook, but what happens when you are sellig your shit at a local craft fair?
Someone asks you for your website address and you have to tell them a facebook page? Doesn't sound very good. But if you can put BeachArtsandCrafts.com on a business card, and then it TAKES them to your facebook page... Why Not?
At least as a stopover until you are big enough to warrant your own site?
And if facebook 'Disappeared' Well you have lost your facebook page, but not your URL that you are known for and is on literature etc. Then just get a wix site for free etc...
I dont think its that unusual...
