Mirrorize.com Free Advanced Mirroring Service

    Hi folks,
    I'd like to present my next project: Mirrorize.com. I've finished basic implementation. I'm not completely satisfied of the theme and such, but that is not my focus right now.

    So what is Mirrorize.com? Say you have a Web site reachable at a long and ugly URL, such as http://freefilehost.com/websites/eladnava. People hate such URLs and it doesn't look good either. So you can mirror the Web site on a private mirror by using this service! It's not some lame iFrame or obvious redirection that gets you back to the original URL. The server fetches the page using HTTP, transmits any POST, cookies, and other info with the request, parses/decodes the response, and replaces all URLs of the long URL to the mirror.

    Ofcourse you can use this to just create a live mirror of your files at a different location if you have a ton of traffic you want to offset your bandwidth counts.

    Tell me what you guys think and feel free to try it out:
    http://mirrorize.com

    Thanks for the review. I am also an SEO expert but haven't gotten to the final stage of the Web site to begin SEO. I still have a lot of content to add and having it optimized now would be useless.

    So, if I mirror my site, then it will be copied to your server?
    Not sure if I understand the service.

    Currently, no. When you mirror your site and someone visits the mirror, the service communicates with the original Web site and shows you the page. You never communicate with the original server. In the coming future I will make a cache engine to cache pages and files so that it doesn't connect every time to get the page.

    Meaning that if the original site is down, the link won't be doing much good?

    That's right for now. I am developing a cache engine to target just that, and offload bandwidth off the original server by providing the static page without any communication with the original server. Of course this is useful only for static Web pages, if you have a forum this feature is useless as the page changes every few hours.

    I do not fully understand how this works but from a designers perspective the site
    looks great, the logo, the template, and the page layout is excellent.

    The layout is good. However when I read " What is Mirrorize.com?" from the front page, I still don't understand the service of your site.

    kingofsanda, thank you so much. :) I'm glad people like the logo and design, I thought it was a little plain but now I see it's not too bad.

    Natadee, you are probably right that I should make that explanation a lot simpler and easier to understand. The hardest part of this project is putting into simple words what great power this service offers... :p

    A recent partnership with Shrud Studios has earned us 3 short domains for even shorter addresses! Subdomains are now available for registration under Zefz.com, Zfnz.com, and Zluz.com!

    In addition, improvements to the behind-the-scenes mirrrorizing technlogies make it possible for Web sites with individual subdomains to work with the service flawlessly. Finally, modifications to the networking mechanism can speed up the communication between the client and the service by 20%!

    well designed template - i like it - .
    the domain name is very good for the service.
    and the way you present the service is very good , and service itself is good choice to provide.
    Goodluck
