Add Domain [malware8148]

[malware8148]

Hello! I'd like to add a subdomain "sploder.us.to" to my account. Since this is an afraid.org domain, CNAME records aren't available. Which A records should I add to make it work?

Thanks,

Domain added. It can take up to 2 hours to work.

Please be aware that afraid.org is known to be problematic. It sort of works, but many functions of Plesk will not work properly on these domains, notably email. You can use the IP address shown in Plesk at the bottom of your domain's options to point to the domain using an A record, however the recommended configuration is to contact their support and ask them to allow NS record changes so you can use our name servers instead.

Note also that *.us.to is flagged as malicious by many major security companies due to its frequent use for illegal activity (and while I cannot say which one, I can confirm that the entirety of Afraid.org is also on at least one unpublished government blocklist).

Also, due to your username, please review our Terms of Service, which prohibits illegal activity including the hosting of malware (note that samples and demos are also included in this definition). Accounts are regularly scanned for abuse and manually inspected to ensure compliance. Hosting malicious content will result in a permanent ban without a backup (or refund if applicable).

My username is malware8148 in mostly all platforms. My website is a "revival" for an old flash website (about 18 years old).

Yeah, I know that 😭... should've thought earlier before hardcoding the domain in all my files which will be a pain to change. Technical debt surely gets ya! I'm switching over to a .net based domain which will use a vps, probably hosted on helionet!

You can bulk-replace the domain in your files with this assuming they're just text/html: https://github.com/zzzprojects/findandreplace I've used that tool many times to fix this problem.

Issue is, the domain is hardcoded in SWF files, which requires recompilation and is mostly just a PITA to perform 😔

[wolstech]

Oof. You may want to just omit the domain entirely if you go through and rebuild them and just use paths relative to the root (e.g. /assets/something.swf). That would make it run on any domain.

I have done that with the new rewrite of my app for PHP 8.2... However, it's still a WIP.

By the way, can I enable/disable extensions on the control panel or is it not possible because of security concerns?
