qa in URL?
what's "qa." stand for in an URL? is it something obvious, like how "m." shows up in mobile versions of some sites?
i ask b/c in the course of googling c2c's show list, i accidentally went to Code:
http://qa.coasttocoastam.com/shows Code:
http://coasttocoastam.com/shows the blurb for which says "michio kaku's first-ever appearance on the program" which, um, it most definitely ISN'T. guy's been on there like 50 times over more than a decade! is this some kinda phishing site tryna MOSTLY recreate c2c which somehow slipped up on this one ep? official site shows no appearances yet for kaku this year. briefly considered that this was some SISTER/SPINOFF show where kaku could legitimately be making his "first-ever" appearance, but nothing like that in headers anywhere. and the past entries from 1 may and beyond seem to match the real c2c anyways. (but why's 14 may the only one listed in the interim? which -- to make matters worse, is 13 may on the official list!) really baffled. to recap: 29 may: phantom ep w weird writeup 14 may: legit ep but was actly 13 may 1 may and beyond: matches ok theories? |

Its just a subdomain and does not have to have any specific meaning.

????
a subdomain where 95% of the contents directly mirror the main one, yet 5% defy the laws of nature? |

how does any subdomain of the ACTUAL c2c have a line like "michio kaku's first appearance"...unless it's the "fictional universe" subdomain?! or the "12 years ago on this day" subdomain?!
some sort of SANDBOX for internal use? with the kaku lines nothing more than some staffer's attempt at lorem ipsum? actual "QA" subdomain, where staffer intentionally posts misinfo to see how fast some algorithm detects it? any of which, again, would seem more likely w/o the other 95% being legit entries! |

For example abc.com is the main domain. abc.com is a standard subdomain which is mostly used for browsing. Usually mail.abc.com or a variation of is setup for the email server just as ftp.abc.com will be setup for the ftp server. Many web developers setup a variety of subdomains so that it is easier to identity within that domain or subdomain when they use an ftp server, or to track the content in the respective individual server logs. It is also easier on the server load for scripts to read databases on individual domains or subdomains than having everything on one domain when there is a lot of content. The domains on the dark web use a completely different protocol and naming subdomains is not as open as it is on the open web and I won't get into that...

I'm guessing it's one of several copycat versions of PS. Jenny knows this subject and probably has a definitive take on this.

As long as a domain name is not already in use, you can add anything to an original domain name and register it. So yeah, adding qa. in front of an existing domain name would work.
As far as it mirroring the original site, don't trust the dates or info you see on a mirror site as far as when it might have been originally posted. It's usually not accurate. I have found my posts on other sites with my username here and elsewhere all over and I have seen my exact original posts and links under other usernames. You can register domain names for free now in some cases so it's all a scam to make some coin with traffic to another domain name by using content from another legitimate domain. Welcome the the net version 2020

I saw the same thing happen to Tube sites, as well: exact copy of everything ported over to another domain.
When I was a member of a Tube site, I would also see my posts popping up even on the mirror/fake site, as well as all my friends content in there (which was visible to friends only), as well. We did contact the webmasters, and a few days after the site was taken down by the authorities. My advice is that: if you need to give out personal sensitive data, such your ID card number, passwords, credit card numbers, home address, always double check if the site in question begins with the string "http://", and always check if the site in question is genuine. Whois is a great way to find out if a site is a scam or a legit one.

i'm confused. wouldn't qa.coasttocoast.com be a SUBDOMAIN of coasttocoast.com? or are u basing this supposed difference off the idea that coasttocoast.com is somehow diff from the "www"-less version to begin with?? (never DID understand why some sites skip it)
whois, in fact, just ignores the first period and tells me "qacoasttocoast.com is available". yeah, i've double and triple checked -- my QUERY has the period; site's REPLY does not. meaning...as i take it...that it's a GIVEN that only one string can be present before the extension-marking period. so i'm back to my original query. how can qa.coasttocoast.com be run by anyone else BUT []coasttocoast.com???? |
