[backstage] Free .tk domains with nice API

2007-08-31 Thread Dogsbody


I just bumped into this while looking at all the domains that Google 
owned! :-p  I didn't recognise .tk (belongs to three small islands off 
New Zealand, 12 square miles of land!).


Is seems they are giving away free domains (forwarding) to anyone that 
wants them!  Not only that but a few days ago they released an API that 
allows programmers to create accounts for their users!


More details at:

  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.tk

Not sure what actual real world use is but thought I would post it!

Tokelau, yes. They've been going for a while, and many people use an
ad-supported freedomain.tk not realising they can get a .co.uk for
£1.99 a year elsewhere. The domain needs at least 90 visitors in a
certain period I think, or it stops redirecting.
