Opinions of mydomain.com or similar services?

[Kathy]

Hi all,

I'm wondering if mydomain.com is reliable, ad free, fast,
and worth using.

I hate that it's so hard to find a free host for a domain.

But is my domain the best alternative?

Are there any other similar services? If not, why
not?

( This scares me, 'cause if there's only one it's soon
banner time or other problems, right? )

http://www.zoneedit.com

they are pretty reliable

AFAIK I know there are a few more, like http://www.hn.org/
I discussed the pros and cons of mydomain vs zoneedit Search the forum.

HN.org seems to work pretty well... I use them for several .com.kg domains.

I tried 1 kg-domain with them, but it did not work for more than a week, so I switched back to mydomain, where they had to install the domain manually and after my email to mydomain it worked within a day. So maybe I had to write hn an email too to install it manually. But you know, weeks ago everyone thought there are problems with domain.kg and not with the domainhoster. And now I say, never change a running system and stay with mydomain.

I never found out, if hn supports metatags for cloaked urls, which mydomain supports, but zoneedit doesn't.

I didn't need any manual intervention for HN.org.

[Albert]

The strange thing was, some worked without any intervention at mydomain and some not, although registered at nearly the same time.

What about metatags with hn?

I checked the metags you get with zoneedit, if you cloak the url. Forget it, but zoneedit is fine with uncloaked urls. In the last month a little bit more reliable than mydomain.

If you use the domain for mail only, probably hn is not a good choice, because they check the visitors and cancel it, when they don't see traffic.

how do you set up domain redirection on hn.org?

[Toefur]

I prefer Zoneedit.

I forwarded it to wzr.net and did the redirection from there. You can also setup unlimited sub-domains from there.
