✅ Your subdomain is guaranteed. We have acquired rweb.site for 10 years, and we plan to renew it at the 9th year.

Why?

There was a time when I couldn't afford a domain or didn't want to spend money on a domain for a project that I wasn't sure would be successful. I used to use free subdomains from services like github.io or something else provided by the kind community, and I'm grateful for that. But I think it's time to give back. 🎁

Sometimes, you just want a short and easy-to-remember domain for your project or website. rweb.site is a free service that provides you with a subdomain for your project or website. It's easy to remember and looks cool. 🔮

FAQ

Q: What does rwebsite mean?
A: It stands for "revolutionary website" or "real website". You can also think of it as whatever you like.

Q: How to change or remove my subdomain?
A: Just modify records.json, and make a Pull Request to this repo.

Q: May I apply for more than one subdomain?
A: Yes, you can. However, starting from your second subdomain, you can only apply subdomains for your projects which have no less than 5 stars. If you are using Github Pages, we strongly recommend you to bind the subdomain to your your-username.github.io domain, so that you can use path-based routing for whatever you like.

Q: Are other DNS records supported?
A: Currently, due to legal issues, we only support CNAME records.

Q: Can I use it for my commercial projects?
A: Yes, you can.

Q: How to add a custom domain for my project?
A: Please go to our Wiki, or search for the tutorial on the internet.
