What happened to nothingtoinstall.com?

This is weird:

{
      "name": "Web Applications",
      "logo_url": "http://sstatic.net/webapps/img/logo.png",
      "api_endpoint": "http://api.webapps.stackexchange.com",
      "site_url": "http://webapps.stackexchange.com",
      "description": "Q&A for power users of web applications",
      "icon_url": "http://sstatic.net/webapps/img/apple-touch-icon.png",
      "aliases": [
        "http://nothingtoinstall.com"
      ],
      "state": "normal",
      "styling":
      {
        "link_color": "#163B6D",
        "tag_foreground_color": "#666666",
        "tag_background_color": "#FFF"
      }
}

I thought that we were to access the API from the domain name "nothingtoinstall.com" and that "webapps.stackexchange.com" was an alias - not the other way around. Not only that, but the name of the site is completely wrong.

This has also messed up some of my applications.

Please either explain what's going on or change it back.
