Bad idea, they'd kicked you out when they found out about
that on the yearly renewal site check. I've sent a workaround
idea for noframe support. Got positive reply, but no change
yet. Guess it'll took awfully longer to even budge a dustpile
on a huge corp like that <g>

AFAIK there's no change with Namezero: http://www.namezero.com
You still should confirm your email address's validity with a mailed
out random URL/password combination. But InstantName *did* closed
for new accounts: http://www.instantname.com/
"InstantName is temporarily unavailable. We are sorry for any
inconvenience this may cause."

Not anymore... It *was* doable when VA still allow .htaccess
level URL-rewriting. You simply upload a small textfile as
".htaccess" to your document root, with the following (overly
simpified) lines in it:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond /%{REQUEST_URI} -f
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ /$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^.*$ /cgi-bin/notfound.pl [L]

Yeah, probably because of that. Their new 404 now auto-refresh
to *their* homepage (yours will going to *your* own homepage ;-)
The new error 500 (script error) page now also a lot more friendly,
with a link to your virtual server's password-protected error log.

Nah! IIRC redirection always works properly for me (my assigned
physical server is s10). But SSI-inserted VA Banner didn't. It
works just fine now, only a single line SSI placeholder needed
for each virtualized pages. No more "three pieces" just to
enter a public place! ;-)
