i.e

monkey.phi11ip.com

I saw Yahoo providing these with names bought from them and I wondered if Freeola give them out too?

It's not the end of the world if they don't I was just wondering!

Ahh..

It doesn't affect me though, I was just wondering what they were good for...

I might create my own monkey site now...

www.phi11ip.com/monkey

Yay!

Nothing is really special about them, that I know off.

It's just sometimes easier to remeber.

t4.channel.com
[email protected]

rather than saying

www.channel.com/t4
t4.channel.com

Although, I think you can go as far as having more than one Server hosting your Site, so you may have images.sr.com which is a dedicated server for your images, forums.sr.com dedecated just for the Forums, etc ... so if one goes down, the whole site isn't affected, just that sub-domain.

However, a lot of places that offer sub-domains only allow you to reditect them to somewhere else, the typical one being mypage.myhome.com pointing to www.myhome.com/mypage

How do they work anyway?

They don't, sorry.

Although, if you set up an E-mail Address, say [email protected] you also get given the Web Address http://monkey.phi11ip.com which points to your index.html/index.php whatever file. So, you could probably use a litte PHP Script in your index.php file to look at the Web Address used to get to your site and redirect it to the location you want it to, e.g. www.phi11ip.com/monkey

Sorry, I don't know the PHP bit off hand.
