[quote name="Alexandre Cisneiros" post="68070" timestamp="1138492589"] I use shortURL, and is verry good. Thgey have MANY features. There are: [size=5].[/size]Many Sub-domain options: -[b]yourname[/b].shorturl.com -[b]yourname[/b].2ya.com -[b]yourname[/b].vze.com -[b]yourname[/b].1sta.com -[b]yourname[/b].24ex.com -[b]yourname[/b].morroz.com [b]AND MORE![/b] There are 25 options! [size=5].[/size]Suport for WWW: If the user puts [b]www.[/b] before the adress of your shortURL, it goes to your page normaly! No 404 Errors! [size=5].[/size]Path Forwarding: If you have the ShortURL [b]yourname.vze.com[/b] and the real URL of your site is [b]www.hosting.com/members/yourname[/b] and want to acess the diredory [b]/joe[/b] in your real URL, you can create a link to [b]yourname.vze.com/joe[/b]. [size=5].[/size]Prefix Path Forwarding: The same of the above feature, but is like this: To acess [b]/joe[/b], point the brouwser to [b]joe.yourname.vze.com[/b]. [size=5].[/size]Prefix Forwarding: If you point the browser to [b]yourname.vze.com[/b] or to [b]joe.yourname.vze.com[/b], you will go to the same point: the main page of your site. WARING: Chose this feature or teh Prefix Path Forwarding. [size=5].[/size]URL Masking: Normally, after your ShortURL.com forwards to your real URL, your real URL is then shown in the browser's address bar. Turning on URL masking, allows you to keep your ShortURL in the address bar by using a hidden frame trick. This frame is invisible to the user. Then, if visitors bookmark your site, they bookmark your ShortURL, and search engines will link to your ShortURL as well. 95% of our users choose to use this feature. [size=5].[/size]Frame Kill: Frame Kill forces your site to pop out of any frames it may be loading in. For example if another website links to you and opens your site inside their frame. How does this work? If you have URL masking turned on, we insert JavaScript code into the hidden frame. If URL masking is off, we create an invisible and temporary page loading the JavaScript to first pop out your site then use HTML to forward the user. This process is invisible to the user, other than seeing your site pop out of a frame. Usefull to LYCOS users. [size=5].[/size]Traffic Reports: With a ShortURL address you will have access to traffic stats with daily and monthly reports displaying unique and raw visits and referring URLs. We also calculate your unique/raw ratio and daily averages. The Referring URL Report allows you to see where your visitors are coming from! An hourly report displays all the URLs that have sent traffic to your ShortURL address, as well as a list of keywords used to find your site in search engines. [size=5].[/size]Mirror Management: If you have mirrors of your site you can use your ShortURL to balance traffic between them, or provide redundancy. This can be done two ways: 1) You can have ShortURL randomly forward to a mirror, weighing any URLs you wish to get more or less traffic. 2) Or, have ShortURL generate a page, providing visitors with a list your mirrors to choose from along with a description for each one. [size=5].[/size]Private Networks / Specific Ports: If you have a home/office network, and you can get your website to load: [url="http://IP-ADDRESS-HERE"]http://IP-ADDRESS-HERE[/url] then you can point a ShortURL there. If you need to get around a pesky port 80 block, then you can setup your server to work on another port (ie. 81) and include the number in the target URL by using: [url="http://IP-ADDRESS-HERE:81"]http://IP-ADDRESS-HERE:81[/url] ATTENTION: shortURL puts one little, verry little frame on bottom of your page, nut if you upgrade to Premium, it disapears. Get the Premium by 2 manners: Paying or completing one of the partner campains. It consist in completing a survey, or sign up to one site, etc...

Ah the good old days of dot.tk and freedomain.co.nr lol. Here's the thing about these sites. They're pretty good for under 18 year old kids who are trying to get a domain, but don't have a credit card. I remember when I was under 18, I had a dot.tk. Preferred it over the co.nr, because it felt like more of a domain lol. However, if you are serious about your website (and search engine optimization), most people eventually find a way to get a REAL domain name (astahost and knolwedgesutra are great places to do just that. )

The reason the Search engine optimization part is crucial, is because this is who search engines rank you domains (which is REALLY important... a lot of traffic comes from these search engines, obviously.) Sites like dot.tk cloak your your domain, which in lamen terms, is not good for SEO! (I heard that now dot.tk allows full DNS.. so that may help a bit.) However, to be on the same side, I would just go with a traditional .com/.net/.org.. even a .info isn't half bad. Just my opinion lol.

Me too I don't like dot.tk cause there's a lot of happenings on my website sometimes.
They also deactivate my account without any reason .huh!

Today, in 2012, the best is http://www.smartdots.com. They have path forwarding, email forwarding and more. Better then .TK, better then co.cc because Google SEO doesn't except co.cc and better then co.nr becuse you need the dumb banner or they'll BAN you. Haha ban you. BANner.

Wow, do .tk domains still exist ? Last time I remember seeing a .tk domains was like 8 years ago. These domains were a real plague 10 years ago, they were mostly full of viruses, adware, spyware ... and any sort of malware you can possibly imagine.

And don't be fooled, there is no such thing as free domain names. Go check out the source code of your webpage once it's on a .tk domain. I'm pretty sure there's some nifty javascript added to it

. If not, there's probably another catch.

I like www.co.cc the most because you can redirect to your site and you can either have it do a redirect to your exact domain, or have it keep the mydomain.cc. I noticed I get traffic from co.cc, either through their site, or through search engines.

Another thing is basically.. if i wanted to create a subdomain on my website for someone else, and I didn't want people to know that they were coming to my site, than I could just give them a link to that domain.

For example...

www.mydomain.com

Person's subsection is:

myfriendsarea.mydomain.com

The domain I give people:

myfriendsarea.co.cc

What people will see:

myfriendsareas.co.cc

And then through .htaccess you can just have all your links look like they are actually on that domain. So then your friend can get a free fake domain and be hosted on your site.

This could also be a service anyone could offer.. and charge a few bucks a month for it.

I tried dot.tk but it didn't seem to work for me.

.tk is greatDot.tk

I don't know how recently any of you have used .Tk but it's great now. I signed up for an account and I was even able to adjust their DNS zone records to point to my DNS servers. I also like how you don't have to use .Tk's name servers. I have yet to see any ads and I am even a part of their ambassador program (bit of a ponzi scheme but good nonetheless).I have three domains pointing at my servers: michaelwashere.Tk maldridge.Co.Cc and maldridge.Veeserve.ComOf the three .Tk is the fastest followed by the co.Cc last is the one that actually goes with the server (maldridge.Veeserve.Com)

I just took my website to a .tk domain and it is great. It doesn't change to go back to the URL the website is originaly from.

.co.nr is also good and free but I believe .tk is better since it is much shorter!

I've used dot.tk before it works quite well.
