0x2.ORG

Is this service really free?

Yes, I have from my domain hosts free mail forwarding and some spare bandwidth on my server, this site is empowered by a single PHP script to tie them all together dynamically.

Whats the catch?

There really isnt one, there are no adverts or popups anywhere within your forwarding. That said I do have to pay for the domain and the server, so if your feeling flush and like the service maybe send a few pounds over my way.

So, what do I get?

Well, your username represents your subdomain and email address.Both username.0x2.org and www.username.0x2.org both forward to your site (eg. cyberfish.org), username@0x2.org will forward to your email, also files within your subdomain will forward as well, username.0x2.org/file.html will forward to that file under your site (eg. cyberfish.org/file.html).

Why "0x2.org"?

Well it was the best 3 letter TLD I could find, also 0x2 is the number two in hex.

I have registered an account but it doesnt seem to work!

In the registation process a number of checks are conducted on both the provided url and email address to check their validity, however to ensure that the provided email address belongs to you your initial password is sent to you. Please login to complete your registration.

Other forwarding sites asks for metadata and a page title, where do I enter this?

You dont! Metadata in its current form isnt really used (bring on semantic web :P), your page title is looked up from the forwarded url (make sure the <title></title> tags are within the first 512bytes of your page).

How does it work?

Basically all subdomains point to this server via a wildcard DNS entry. Then a PHP script processes which subdomain was used via HTTP/1.1 host. Unmasked redirects are via HTTP 302 responses and the masked web forwarding pages are "XHTML 1.0 Frameset" with your page as a single frame.

Is there a limit to the number of users per email address?

In short no, however I do check accounts periodically and if I see large number of accounts regged to a single email you may find an email from me just checking why! :P

Any questions please email "admin<at>0x2.org".
