    Afraid.org

    hmmm seems the sub domains are locked on 127.0.0.2 :|

    seems the 127.0.0.2 is google fault

    I can also recommend afraid.org. Using them since more than 8 years.

    for some reason google dns directed me to 127.0.0.2 :p
    so i went back to open dns > and now it works perfectly
    i also have no idea why google dns did that, but i will try to switch bck to google dns tomorrow and see what will happen

    thanks will try that one aswell :)

    afraid.org block google for any free subdomain ... unless its your own.

    you can however email and ask (nicely) to not block google :)

    Can't confirm that:

    That domains are not mine. They are some of the standard ones of afraid.org.

    Edit: Seems like old subdomains are from the beginning visible to Google.

    However, the FAQ states:

    freedns.afraid.org does not at all wish to prohibit its members from publishing their own sites and content. If you wish to have your site seen by Google, and are not using a domain of your own, please contact [email protected] with a working URL to your website. Also keep in mind it is important you choose a domain which is not likely to disappear for building your website on. Any domains owned by freedns.afraid.org should be around forever, however domains not owned by freedns.afraid.org are not guaranteed. see: freedns.afraid.org/faq/#16


    @wiiguy: You could also try:

    • yi.org
    • eu.org
    • za.net

    Whereas eu.org and za.net act like real domain registries.
