Can someone explain how the blockchain replaces a server? I understand how the block chain can contain data, but what mechanism is creating the web server application? Where does the DNS point to?

Re:

The blockchain is maintained via a decentralized p2p network running `steemd` nodes. These nodes have the whole STEEM database stored on disk and the operator of those nodes can choose to **open a public API** for people to query against that database (e.g. get content, posts, users or even send new posts etc) 
For those that know about Bitcoin, the public API is pretty much what blockchain.info API offers .. just that it is a standardized API that anyone can decide to run.

Thanks for that answer, is steemit.com a single point of failure or is the website hosting distributed as well?

Re:

They are working on a more robust setup to my knowledge. I am pretty sure they haven't expected that kind of growth.
