blocked subdomains

From IndieWeb


The IndieWeb wiki requires that you use your own domain to log in rather than a subdomain of someone else's domain, and thus has blocked subdomains of several popular and typically free blogging or static file hosts. People who use subdomains of these providers to host their personal website must set up a personal domain with Web sign-in (see IndieMark: Level 1) before they can log in to the wiki.
