So I noticed this on Jeff's twitter. They don't have a tld, it seems?
How've they done this? Magic, bribery, or did a no-tld tld open up recently?
I believe that the way it works is simply who ever owns the TLD .to
, simply set up an A record for the TLD itself and are providing this service.
For example, google.com
and google.com.
are actually the same address.
You can also access this site via http://to
Some domains use this technique to redirect you to where you can purchase domains from, this place seems to offer a free service.
Just to ensure people don't miss JMD's comment:
Many more answers at Server Fault's How the heck is http://to./
a valid domain name?
http://.to
,http://to
andhttp://to.
no longer work in 2013 as they apparently did in 2009.
