Domain Help

[Pazza]

Okay, I'm making a proxy just for people at my school. I'm just wondering, if the host you are using is blocked, if you registered domain would it work.
Vice Versa

+rep for all help

[Bojangles]

You mean if the host your using stopped your hosting?

[kk.]

no it shouldnt be. only the key words int he domain shuld be blocked. so dont use a name which has proxy in it as that is almost a certainty tobe blocked.

[LegendOfNoob]

keeep thinking of domains test them in the browser and make sure they arent took then register unless its a inaproriate host dont worry about it

So,

Say x10hosting is blocked at my school abd I am using them
If I get a domainm it would work?

+repped LoN But I owe even more to Jimbojosh

[kk.]

ohhh, yh, i think it will still be blocked because it has x10hosting in the domain name. Because its pretty much the same as freewebs.com/domain.

if it did not have the name x10hosting in the domain name but was hosted on the servers, it should not be blocked.

SO if I use xeodomain and use their domain it will work?

[kk.]

if xeodomain is not blocked at your school, then it would let you on your website. if it was blocked and the domain of your site was pazza.xeodomain.com orr xeodomain.com/pazza, your site would be blocked

hope that made sense lol

[Pazza]

So hosting doesn't make a difference as long as domain isn't blocked\?

P.S = Twont be a subdomain

[kk.]

simple anser lol..

yes, it wont make a difference

[Pazza]

Thats all I wanted :P

I owe you, need to make sure I remember

[kk.]

ahh dont worry about it :)

[MrCraig]

Im sure they can block IP addresses. . .

[Zaub]

Don't use an obvious domain like 'turboproxy.net' or something like that. I recall a proxy called maths.info, and it makes the domain look like something that you would look up at school.

[kk.]

yeh they can block ips but it wouldnt block any of the sites that are hosted on there. other wise random sites would be blocked for no reason that are actually useful.

hats what iu thought anywa

[Buax]

They don't block the host, most schools will block the domain name, not the URL of the domain. As a domain just forwards to a IP address. If they do find out, try and vist via the IP address, if it works, register on some free-domain websites so people at school can use them. Proxy site's dont last very long though. My school blocked any site with the word "Proxy".
