Domain Forwarding/URL Cover Up

ScubaKing22

Hey I have simple question. How do sites like Dot.tk (http://www.dot.tk) and cjb.net accomplish their service? What I mean is there is an option on Dot.tk when signing up to keep the URL hidden. Ex: www.site.tk refers to www.something.else.com but in the address bar www.site.tk will always show up, no matter what is clicked. Is this done through php headers, some other php, or some other language completely? Thanks for any answers.

Well, I have the very same question and just joined to see what happens! Also there are sites like www.guardster.com that when you enter a URL in them, they hide the address from the proxy servers that ban some certain sites and they can read all the contents of the site. Of course reading the contents is not such a special thing, but then they can display the images of that site too, it's a very different thing, coz they should use the original address of that image, so, if they don't change the address, the pic won't be displayed, but now it IS displayed! Is it something magical with PHP that we can have such effects?!

OT
I noticed you're from Iran; is it anything like Iraq, being how they have only one difference in the name 😉

Bijan

Yeah! Only if you look at it alphabetically dear!!

http://www.dot.tk uses frames to disguise the real adress.

Ok thanks. So is that the only way is there some other way also? Because I might be wrong but aren't frames an IE thing?

Bijan

Of course not! Frames are not IE proprietary.
