URL Cloaking (cjb.net)

[Shannon]

My website's URL is http://www.freewebs.com/digitaljunkyard/ I gave www.cjb.net a visit to try and cloak my URL. I set the account up so that you can access my website from http://digitaljunkyard.cjb.net/ When you follow the second (cloaked) link, it changes the address in the address bar to the original URL.

It's pretty cool, but the whole idea is that the address is not supposed to change back to the original.

I just set that one up and the same thing happens, it reverts to the old address.

Domain names are not expensive. If you're at all serious about your web site, you should get a domain name. It makes you look more professional.

I'm not that serious that I want to spend money on it. I update it constantly, but that's about it.

I really don't care about the URL cloaking either, I just thought, it's free and sounds better than www.freewebs.com/.....
