Blacklisted by Facebook

[saviorfromthenorth]

I was supposed to use my free hosting account for a facebook app I was thingking of doing but it seems my account is blacklisted. I have not yet used my free web host for any facebook app. So I am really wondering how I got blacklisted.

They have all of the x10.mx and other free x10hosting subdomains blacklisted due to too many phishing attacks; we do our best to counter them, but sadly it's an uphill battle. They make new ones, we have to find them and then filter them, but usually by the time it's caught it's already been used and gives us a bad rep.

Best I can advise is to either snag a domain like a .com if possible, or see if www.co.cc will work - I don't believe these were all blacklisted by facebook yet, although they might be. That said, they -are- an external service that can be tied into x10, and there are plenty of legitimate folks using co.cc, so they're less likely to be on the blacklist.

I see, can't believe others would use something given to them free to wreak havoc on other things. Oh well I guess I will try those free domains to get around it. Thanks for the in depth reply.

What does your facebook app do?
Just curious if Facebook thinks if your app is phishy?
Can you describe the app?

Wouldn't be the app; facebook hates all of our free domains

Much like hotmail blocked all of the free servers for a while (and may actually still have them blocked, I haven't tested recently), facebook blocked all the domains. Thankfully, they only blocked the domains - they don't do a lookup on the url to see where it's hosted, so they didn't stop all the x10 accounts from running apps there. Just the ones using the free subdomains.

There's always the free domains from the folks like co.cc though, I forgot to mention dot.tk and cz.cc earlier too, those are two other ones I know of that are free

Facebook really do not like the x10 domains, I think.co.cc works just as well. Bit of an FYI though, I use DROPBOX to host all my facebook app content, give the a try here: www.dropbox.com

You can get a cheep domain name from Godaddy. the [dot]info are under two (2) USDs for one year and if you go to [dot]tk you can get a free domain name witch are not blocked.

Good Luck.

Hi! You can get a free subdomain (like uk[dot]to, us[dot]to, and etc.) that are not blacklisted by facebook at http://freedns.afraid.org/.

God bless!

Just a note that .co.cc and .cz.cc are both blocked by facebook.

yes it's true that all subdomains from x10hosting have been blocked from facebook, including co.cc. But you can always request them to unblock your site manually. Just fill up a form at http://www.facebook.com/help/contact...m=block_appeal.
