Not quite the way I understand it. My understanding is that he sees himself as the prime mover in creating the conditions of chaos and destruction that they believe precede the coming of the Mahdi, and thus accelerate that coming. For example, he is said to have dropped the names of his cabinet members down the well where the Mahdi is supposed to be hiding; there'd be no point in that if he considered himself to be the Mahdi.

Just speculating...but I would think that if he really believes the mahdi is coming, that he would be preparing everything for the mahdi. So setting up the domain name under mahdi's name would imply that he is preparing to turn it over to the mahdi for the mahdi's use when he appears. my two cents...well ok maybe 1/2 cent
