It does exactly what should be expected, if you know how domain name organization works...

The source html is the same as www.com.org.
So in other words... www.anythingyouwant.com.org is the same as if you just typed www.com.org.
Not sure....

Are you suggesting 'www.purebasic' is a valid name on 'com.org'? I don't think so. It more likely that all unknown page requests on that server routes to this page.It does exactly what should be expected, if you know how domain name organization works...

it seams that everything that has *.org.com redirects you to org.com

Ok com is a sub domain of org and purebasic is a sub domain of com .. alright just wondering why purebasic is a subdomain, I gues they are redirecting anything you type in using the top level domain nameIt does exactly what should be expected, if you know how domain name organization works...

I guess that once the server has to deal with a request like that the decision becomes where to redirect. To a 404 page or to somewhere else.

It is a wildcard DNS entry and their web server set to respond to any hostname.. Nothing unusual.

It simple if you think that domains are read from right to left.
Start with .org
Then .com
That is all that is needed to identify the server: http://com.org is all you need.
Everything else is passed to the server for resolution.
This is how http://forums.purebasic.com works, redirecting you to http://jconserv.net/purebasic.

Oh, ok. Then perhaps next time you can better illustrate your point.

yeah...
illustrate! a doodle, a squidle, a dribble or a sketch
for all of us poor users, that pages have to fetch
now we all know just how to type a url or two
but everytime pure org goes wrong we don't know what to do...
(okay, i'll be a good boy and go back to my corner...)
