Web Roasting - Save all the web hosting sites!

Sites hosted on free web hosts, where you make an account and get <your name>.host.com or users.host.com/<your name>, are inextricably tied to the hoster; there's no way to transfer a subdomain to another host, so when the host goes down, everything it hosted is gone forever. Web Roasting is a project to save these old web hosting sites before they shut down.

How can I help?

There are two ways you can help right now:

• Add more web hosting sites to the ISP Hosting or University Web Hosting pages.
• Scrape the following for hosted web sites:
  • Google (site:webhost.com)
  • Bing (site:webhost.com)
  • DuckDuckGo (site:webhost.com)
  • Yandex (site:webhost.com)
  • Baidu (site:webhost.com)
  • Twitter (litterapi preferred)

  • Links from MediaWiki wikis
  • The Open Directory Project
  • The Common Crawl Index
  • The Wayback Machine
