That might be the real answer, but not very satisfactory, as it suggests that this domain just shouldn't exist. At least 7-zip.org could have a list of domains

That might be the real answer, but not very satisfactory, as it suggests that this domain just shouldn't exist.
At least 7-zip.org could have a list of domains that they own and control if they wish people to use these alternate domains.
- gibspaulding 3y ago> if they wish people to use these alternate domains I would have assumed the main reason to register alternate domains like this would not be so people can use them, but rather to prevent others registering them and abusing them.
- planede 3y agoMaybe, then it serves that purpose (if it's indeed their domain). But why redirect then or even point them to an HTTP server? Anyway, I would never choose to fight this battle, feels rather futile. It doesn't help that they have a dash in the name, so they have to hunt down names with 7-zip and 7zip as well.
- JohnFen 3y agoThat's the only reason that I have done it with my domains. I don't use a redirect, though, I just have the DNS records resolve all the alternate domains to the same IP address.
