| Ah, I got a Solution Ok, for all the crybabies out there that are wanting to whine just to be a part of the "OH No the 'net has gone to the dumps", here is a clue. Make sure that your subdomains redirect properly or that there is really something there that people want to see. If not, then take the subdomain away. I have my own hosting and I have my domain through GoDaddy. I have some subdomains and I make sure that they point to folders where actual pages exist. Its a money takes all world. If you don't like that fact, then walk over to the wall, unplug whatever type of internet you are using, and timewarp back to 1985 where you didn't even have to worry about the big bad advertising. If you don't want to go to that extreme, then shut up whining.

| Re: Ah, I got a Solution Please read the article again so you might understand what is written. If you come to the same understanding a second time, please take yourself to your local adult education center and ask to be enrolled in a reading comprehension course.

| What does this have to do with making sure your subdomains redirect properly? NetSol is hijacking unassigned subdomains. Subdomains that have not been created at all. Like a wildcard. If DSLR were hosted at NetSol, you could request any random subdomain -- "thispagesucks.dslreports.com" for example -- and get the NetSol advertising page. Any subdomain that you did not create is getting redirected.
This is the kind of stuff we expected from cut-rate hosts like Geocities and that ilk back in the day. The fact that it's so well-hidden in this case is what disgusts me, as it speaks to NetSol's character and intent as a corporation.

| Re: Ah, I got a Solution But, if you read the article, the guy has a subdomain called app.gotgame.com. Type it in and if it is not pointed at an active page, then you get the ad riddled pages. Hey, I ain't saying its right, but the fact remains that if you take the time to read the user agreement you would see it. Its like installing software on a pc. If you do not read the EULA, and in it it states that after 30 days of using the software your computer will vaporize, then that becomes your fault. You should have read the EULA.

| He's got a Really Big Solution. Via Tech Crunch:
"According to a search on DomainTools there are 294,438 sites on the same Network Solutions IP address as GotGame.com. I ran a test on the sites listed (for free) by DomainTools and every single one had the same issue: unassigned domain names with link filled Network Solutions holding pages" »www.techcrunch.com/2008/04/08/ne···domains/
So you are trying to tell us that Win Betteridge of GotGame.com went forth and set up 294,438 improperly assigned subdomains?
What would the code for a gaming site with 294,438 properly assigned subdomains look like?
Seems like a bit of an ambitious project.

| Re: Ah, I got a Solution Of course! He should have read and comprehended every last one of those FIFTY NINE THOUSAND WORDS, slathered in legalese and doublespeak, and KNOWN that the company would do this before he went and started up that website!
Why don't we go to the logical extreme? Let companies write EULAs consisting of hundreds of thousands, maybe even MILLIONS of words, so complex that we have to consult a lawyer every time we want to open up a can of soup.
This whole "should've read the EULA" argument gets thinner and thinner with every extra thousand words companies pin on them. Maybe we should just leave the website-creation bit to big corporations who have teams of lawyers to handle this sort of thing?
