Can you tell us a little bit more ? How is it ? Does it have forced adds ? What about the service ? Ofter broken or good uptime ?

To add, another similar looking service is co.nr they also are offering free domain/subdomain with that kind of style, it's just a simple redirection inside a frame on full browser screen with cloaking feature, well I would rather use uni.cc or something similar which is having full dns support feature. :(Oh I read a bit, and I think co.cc offer free dns service? as I remember they didn't some years ago, don't browse their sites to much.

Looks very simalar to .co.nr but without ads. Can anyone tell me what dns is? Make sure your posts are a little more in depth next time. Just reading it brings up multiple questions such as can I turn off frames? Is my site displayed as a frame so every page has example.co.cc or can I set it to be example.co.cc/folder/my_page_on_Astahost.php? Other then that it looks like a good site to use if you dont want to buy a domain. I also read that it has a costomizable email. I might look into that if it allows POP forwarding...Thanks,Sparkx

Dns is like frame but more advanced, u can have example.co.cc/folder/my_page_on_Astahost.php? with dns but not with frame, its hard to explain what dns realy is

.co.nr is a free domain service without ads, some features that they offer are:

Free Domain Name.

Free Short URL.

Free URL Redirection.

No Ads.

To use this service the only thing you need to do is to place a link back to the CO.NR website on the main page of your website, it is absolutely required to comply with this rule, if you don't comply with it your account is terminated without any notice.

 

After you register and activate your account they send you a welcome email with all the details and the linking code on how to place it on your page.

 

Best regards,

Domain Mapping is the process of pointing a registered domain name to a blog or photo album. Domain mapping is more than domain forwarding, because your permalinks and URL contain the address of your domain (http://www.you.co.cc/), and not a sub-domain (example.blogspot.com).
You can map a CO.CC domain to your blog or photo album. In order to use domain mapping, you must create and modify A, MX, and CNAME records.
CO.CC supports free DNS services. This means that CO.CC gives you
control over the DNS records that describe your domain.

I used it for a while, it's good because of DNS control and the only link to it in the title of the page, of course tl domains are better, I'm just waiting for my payment to clear with Xisto - Domains to get mine.

DNS is like where you properly own the domain, whereas with a co.nr you just redirect http://www.example.co.nr/ to http://www.example.com/ with a DNS you actually host the domain on your server, point it to where it needs to go using cpanel

CO.CC offer free domains, well actually they are sub-domains but look like TLDs. I have 4 domains currently registered with them. They give a good service. Your DNS setting are activated within 12 hours.

DNS seems pretty interesting. I may get one for my website that is if I ever actually release my site. I assume that with DNS, search engines also recognize the URL for example Google would return http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ rather then http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/. Is that correct? I just wonder because all my links on my site are based off relative location (using PHP). This is mostly so I can have the same setup on a development computer as on Xisto. Thanks for the explanation and the URL hopefully my Sub domain isn't already taken....Sparkx

Yes, basically that should be what happens. It just basically replaces the Xisto url with the example.co.cc one. Personally though, I'd go for an actual domain name. There are sites that offer free domain names if you post (similar to Xisto). I currently use hostbidder (http://www.findingresult.com/?dn=hostbidder.com&pid=9POR3TG0A), and I've used it for the last two years. Seems to be working well.
