- OT: Why are some URLs 'diverted'?
- Posted by Terry Pinnell on March 20th, 2005
This is an example of something that has often puzzled me: why
visiting one URL takes me to an apparently totally unrelated address.
For example http://www.firefoxtweaks.com/ takes me to
http://www.matt-darby.com/go.php?id=About

Usually because the domain name you go to has no hosting of its own and
the pages are elsewhere, such as an ISP's free webspace.

Perhaps he owns the other domain, and just redirects it to where he has
pages hosted - I do similar with...
www.phoenixbbs.co.uk
www.coreutilities.co.uk
www.unfaithfulbastard.co.uk
www.unfaithfulbitch.co.uk
....amongst others

I like the unfaithful domains colin.

I bought them while drunk one night, and the idea was to have them as a
name-and-shame, but after checking out the legal site c/o uk.legal it
might have landed me in a *lot* of doodoo if someone got assaulted etc
for appearing on the site.
I could be held personally liable, despite it not being me making the
posts - mainly because i`d be easier to find / sue :-/
