One of the recurring problems found by users of the free servers is that because they have been used in the past to host sub-domains that were responsible for causing trouble across the web such as spamming, several large web companies actively prohibit connections to x10 sites.
This is why email sent using the built in mail() command will bounce from Yahoo and Hotmail recipients but more annoying is the fact that social networking sites such as Facebook prevent links to x10 sub-domains.
For a small web site trying to kickstart some visitor traffic being unable to use the power of social networking is a serious blow, sadly no amount of begging or complaining will lift the ban. However there is a workaround, but it's ugly.
FB will permit links to Google's free web site service, I know they are awful but there is nothing that says you cannot put a redirect widget on a Google site and have it pointing in turn to an X10 sub-domain.
As blocking links to Google service would be like kicking a sleeping bear in the gonads, FB will hopefully not intervene and stop this workaround.
Anybody have a better solution?
