Domains... With slashes? wt*?

www.ac/dc.com

It's got a slash, but it works! I thought slashes were illegal... Can someone tell me how they managed to get a slash?

-Thanks

I think the real domain is www.ac, but the site is configured to handle the filename dc.com as an html or php document.

Still, its a cute trick, though.

But how? The only logical thing is they own www.ac but where did the .ac extention come from?

Very tricky! They could sell www.ac/dc.com on ebay and only sell the file or something. they could really rip someone off!

plugged is an unknown quantity at this point
 
Nameslinger is similar to the New.net service. You need a plugin to view Nameslinger sites.
