From what I can see, no.

You want to let other people create a link to your site that then forwards them onto another site. So you will be generating a bunch of traffic that ultimately has nothing really to do with your site. Guess there is a way to grab advertising pennies along the way.

Doesn't sound like it is what x10hosting are giving away free space/cpu/bandwidth for.

My personal reading on it would be no, but not for the same reasons as above. You would be held responsible for all content that it would be linking/redirecting to, which in the past has caught quite a few "link shorteners" as they were used to link to illegal material, which would be against our Terms of Service.

That said, it's also a strong case for proxy, and the software itself may have been stolen - there's a lot of non-free "clone" scripts, and if the script itself is warez, that'd be a big problem.
