localhost .be
December 2000: Liberalisation of the .be
tld
I preregistered localhost.be for fun at XS4All (currently Evonet in Belgium).
Rumours go that they have a "fast" preregistration system whatever that meant. Anyhow, localhost.be finally got registered by yours truly.
I ordered myself a webhosting and localhost.be went live.
The purpose of the domain? None whatsoever.
Learning a bit of HTML at first. Later on playing with
(X)HTML /
CSS /
PHP /My
SQL.
There are some downsides though:
- people setting up a (test)server with hostname localhost and domain .be. You can imagine what happens if their server is connected to the Internet and they start sending testmails ;-)
- a "feature" - keyword.enabled - in former Mozilla-versions got me a lot of visitors. In a lot I mean: a peak of 7000 unique visitors/day.
You can read more about it here.
But hey, you don't hear me complain. It's a nice domainname...
