Title: Why does AH URL keep changing?
Post by: BaldEagl on April 30, 2010, 07:56:46 PM

One day I couldn't open the AH web-site.  When I Googled it I got downloads.aceshigh.com, bookmarked it and everything was fine.

Midway through today I couldn't open the AH web-site again.  I Googled it and got www.hightechcreations.com.

Why does it keep changing?  Just curious.

You forgot the www.flyaceshigh.com

Always just use the Hitechcreations for their main page.

Forums here are bookmarked.

Oh... I've got another one.  The bookmark on my other computer which I just used to post this is beta.hightechcreations.com.

Something's weird then...
My shortcut for the forums has always been http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php) and for their homepage it's http://www.hitechcreations.com/frindex.html (http://www.hitechcreations.com/frindex.html).

Perhaps you got hijacked or middle-man injected...or hitech has bought lots of domain names similar enough to catch the people that don't know how to spell hitechcreations.

hitechcreations.com has always been theirs, ever since day 1 when I discovered the game. They also use flyaceshigh.com because it's easy to remember (marketing).

Anything before "hitechcreations.com" is a subdomain, not a separate url really, as a different part of the same page. beta.hitechcreations.com and bbs.hitechcreations and www.hitechcreations are all on the same domain.

It's common to buy multiple urls for a company. Some even go so far as to buy up slanderous or negative sounding urls to prevent folks from putting up websites that trash them (like, AOLsucks.com just as an example).
