If you're tried of using domains like that but don't want to buy a real one. You can register a free web foward @ http://freedns.afraid.org It's simple make an account, goto account preferences and add which subdomains you want then goto web foward and set one up. I like using us.to only because it looks nice.

I'm not advertising, I just think a lot of people would appreciate this.

I vote stay with zymic, I use Lunar for a couple of my pages simply because of email etc, but all my other pages are on zymic, give it a little time and I think zymic will be the ONLY alternative for free hosting, the staff, the community, the experience, that's what makes zymic a great company, and what sets them apart from all other free hostings, and even most paid hostings.

No, it's not a hoster, it just provides web fowards, like domains almost. Just not .net .com etc... You can get .us.to .It's like co.uk but free. And like co.nr but no advertisements needed to be put on your site.

Yea they just offer subdomain redirects. so instead of whatever.vndv.com you could get whataname.chickenkiller.com

Here is the page with a list of all the different subdomains they offer.

Well, I believe it's kinda pointless unless you are getting a domain name so your not just another sub domain.

For most of the subdomains that is true. I only like the us.to one because it's easy to remember and looks "more offical" than .vndv.com

agreed.

I personally vote for .co.cc

Free domain name and free DNS.

So rather than having something like www.example.vdnv.com/forum/post112,58.php. It would be like www.example.co.cc/forum/post112,58.php

I agree. co.cc is better and also I have 2 domains from it. if you donate at least $10 or 5pounds, then you can at elast 10 more domains. if you donate $100 or 50 pounds, then you get the max that you can get.

Yeah, I remember when they let you have three, but theres nothing stopping you from signing up with a different email address biggrin.gif
Andrew
I'm sorry but I like uni.cc better. I personally think it sounds and looks better than co.cc and there isn't any limit on it.

Its kind of stupid to give 100$ to have co.cc or what ever extension you want. Really stupid knowing that a domain name costs around 4€ 6$ (look around) sometimes some sites such as 1and1.com have offers (.com at 3€..)

With a 100$ you can at least have 10 top domain names ! Man, i prefer having 10 top domain names than having 100 of co.cc ! Plus i am looking large when i saw 10, i mean if its the domain costs 10$... usualy never !

Unlike the zxq.net ones? I think .co.cc sounds more professional and easier to remember. S'pose its alright for running a website as a business (a small local business) or if its something like a personal website, but if it is a coportation, they'd want something like .co.__ or .com for it.
