How To Make A Dot.tk Domain Redirect To Your Site!

sweetescape
Do you want a free, but professional-looking top-level domain? So use dot.tk!
First: Register here your domain
Second: After receiving your activation email and activating your account, add following code to the site you want to make your domain redirect to:

QUOTE
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0;URL=YOURURLHERE">
<script type="text/javascript">if (top!=self) top.location.href=self.location.href;</script>
</html>


It will make your domain redirect to your real site, instead of cloaking the real URL and preventing users from seeing the URLs, if they want to show it to their friends and so on.
I think this is usefull as many people don't know how to use DotTK as a redirection service!

Hummm... isn't this redundant?

Normally people signup for dot.tk to get shorter sub-domain. And they would redirect this short domain name to longer sub-domain name, i.e. free_web_hosting.trap17.com *shameless plug*

But the META redirect redirects back to a sub-domain name... well... you see my point.

I suppose this is useful if you want to claim domain_name(dot)com, dot net, dot whatever plus dot TK

I guess these are for people who actually have an existing dot.tk account. Based on experience, when I signed up for an acount years ago, whenever i'd type my dot.tk url, the dot.tk url would appear on the address bar and not my original url.

So i guess this one's for those who want a dot.tk url but still have their original urls displayed on the adress bar even if the visitor typed the dot.tk url, which i think is a nice idea.

This is usefull if you want to have a short Dot.TK address so people can remember your address if you tell them about your site, but still can link to individual sites in your homepage, as Dot.TK cloaks your real URLs, for example, a visitor is on http://yoursite.trap17.com/, he will see http://www.yoursite.tk/, so that's good, but if he's on http://yoursite.trap17.com/guestbook.php he will still see http://www.yoursite.tk/ and that will make it impossible for a normal user to link to your site, unless he knows how to open frames.

Plus, it's one way for some cms's to work with the register/login features....Usually, when only the tk domain appears, they have problems (at least phpnuke and mambo in previous versions had)...

Still, a very nice function...

Btw, does Tk still let you disable the advertisments or is the *dream dead* ? tongue.gif

Hmm... Do .tk foce advertisements? I would go for a .co.nr domain and I think they have the feature for a non-cloaking URL (just a redirect to the site).

But better than them, buy a .com from Computing Host. They bearly cost nothing, and best of all, it's in USD.

So if your in England the currency rate is very good, and will cost you even less (well not less but very cheap).

The current price for a .com domain for a year is $7.99.

Have a great day!

  13. Basic Ways To Speed Up Your Web Site - (20)
    Speed is certainly one of the most important factors when it comes to making a successful web site.
    These days’ people have high expectations, they expect a web site to load as fast as an application
    on their operating system, and therefore even a few seconds of waiting can frustrate them or leave
    altogether. A good website should take about 8-12 seconds (for a 56K) to load. The website owner is
    going to have to decide how fast its pages are going to be, for example for a multimedia or a flash
    site they can afford to be a bit slower than others provided that the users k...

    question about server absolute. Assume I have a subdomain of the Trap17 named subdomain. In the
    subdomain, I have a public_html folder which contains the files accessible from the web, so if in
    one of those files, lets say it is located in a folder named folder1 and is inside the public-html,
    I insert a "server absolute reference", does the reference begin at the public_html folder?...

    also important usability concerns. For example, some font types are more easily readable than
    others, and some are more widely available. You want to choose font types that: fit the
    character of your site, are easy to read on a computer screen, and are widely available across
    many browsers and operating systems. There are basically two types of fonts: serif and sans ser...
