Etiquette



DP Etiquette

First rule: Don't be a jackass. Most people are good.

Other rules: Do not attack or insult people you disagree with. Engage with facts, logic and beliefs. Out of respect for others, please provide some sources for the facts and truths you rely on if you are asked for that. If emotion is getting out of hand, get it back in hand. To limit dehumanizing people, don't call people or whole groups of people disrespectful names, e.g., stupid, dumb or liar. Insulting people is counterproductive to rational discussion. Insult makes people angry and defensive. All points of view are welcome, right, center, left and elsewhere. Just disagree, but don't be belligerent or reject inconvenient facts, truths or defensible reasoning.

Blog note

The people at the site that appears to go by the name, Looking at today's world, asked if me if it would be OK if they added my invite list to their invite list. I asked them not to do that, but said I would ask you if you want to be added to their list. If you do, go to this link and add a comment asking to be added to their invite list. 

I am still unsure of how this will play out. There are hard core Trumpers and MAGA loyalists there and they can be harsh. The mods there have already banned on of them for bad behavior. Not knowing who or what this site is, I asked Pxy. Here's the response.
Q: Explain the site at this link, https://mastercreator.atwebpages.com/, what it is and who owns or controls it. What is its purpose?

A: mastercreator.atwebpages.com is a subdomain hosted on the ATWEBPAGES.COM platform, which is owned and operated by AttractSoft GmbH, a German web hosting company. The specific site contains content related to Middle East conflicts, specifically discussing Iran-Israel military actions.

ATWEBPAGES.COM operates as a free subdomain hosting service that allows users worldwide to create free subdomains for their web projects and websites. The platform is owned by AttractSoft GmbH, a legitimate web hosting company based in Kiel, Germany.

Company Information
Owner: AttractSoft GmbH (German company)
CEO/Co-Founder: Dimitar Dimitrov
Headquarters: Kiel, Germany and Sofia, Bulgaria
Domain Registration: Registered in 2007 through eNom, LLC
Name Servers: ns1.runhosting.com and ns2.runhosting.com

Service Purpose
The ATWEBPAGES.COM platform serves as a service domain offering free subdomains to the general public for web projects and sites. The company provides various hosting services including:
Free hosting plans with basic features (1GB disk space, 5GB traffic)
Paid hosting plans with unlimited resources
VPS cloud servers with different tiers
Domain registration services

The specific subdomain mastercreator.atwebpages.com contains content about Middle Eastern geopolitical events, specifically discussing Iran-Israel conflicts. The content appears to present a particular perspective on military actions between these nations.

AttractSoft GmbH maintains that:
Content responsibility lies solely with the subdomain creators
The company has a zero tolerance policy towards abuse activities and intellectual property violations
Users must indemnify and hold harmless AttractSoft GmbH from any third-party claims
Abuse reports can be submitted to abuse@supportindeed.com

Security and Reputation Considerations
Based on research findings, free hosting platforms like ATWEBPAGES.COM have been utilized by malicious actors for various purposes, including phishing campaigns. However, AttractSoft GmbH operates as a legitimate hosting provider that offers both free and paid services.

The platform has been associated with domains used in suspected APT37 campaigns from North Korea, though this reflects abuse of the free hosting service rather than intentional facilitation by the company.

Conclusion
The website mastercreator.atwebpages.com is a user-created subdomain hosted on AttractSoft GmbH's free hosting platform. While the hosting company is legitimate and based in Germany, the specific content and creator of this subdomain remain unknown, as is typical with free subdomain services. The content appears to focus on Middle Eastern geopolitical commentary, but users should exercise caution when accessing any free-hosted content, as these platforms can be misused by various actors.
