You created your own webserver and you need to use a FREE domain instead of your IP address?
This is for YOU!!
Possible Uses:
- Host your own site on your own connection from home/work/schoaol/etc
- Access your computer with a name (like zeus.afraid.org or yourdomain.com) instead of a numeric IP address
- Run your own http server, ftp server, or anything you want to install on your computer/server
- Fetchable URL to update your IP instantly on our network if you have a dynamic address
- Hosts even work for your LAN. If you have a LAN connected to the internet you can point hosts to private IP addresses (even private IPv6 addresses) and they will work within your network
- Let your friends point theirname.yourdomain.com to their own connection
- Use web forwarding to transparently redirect a hostname to another URL. Let our servers handle the redirection
- afraid.org has been un-interrupted for hundreds of days at a time
- afraid.org is operated from multiple redundant high capacity well connected servers
