cow.no FAQ (English)

What is cow.no?

cow.no is a private non-profit free forward service aimed for Norwegian users. It is maintaned on a hobby basis. It allows users to create a subdomain under cow.no that forwards to another existing site on the internet. cow.no does not host any sites or files for these sub domains.

How do I report a site containing copyrighted or illegal material, or how can I contact you?

Please contact the owner of the actual site, and not cow.no. cow.no does not host any sites or files, and even if I remove or block the cow.no forward, the same content will still be available on the internet on the site that the cow.no address was pointing to. However, if you absolutely want me to remove the forwarding address under cow.no, you may contact me. Please do understand that contacting me will not affect the site that actually contains the contents, and that site will still be fully available on the internet. Only the cow.no forwarding address itself may be removed by me.

How do I get in contact with the actual site owner of a cow.no forward address?

If you only see the cow.no address in the location bar, you can use the "View source" function in your browser to view which URL the cow.no site is pointing to. When you have the original address, you can either do a whois lookup on that domain on www.whois.net, or try to locate some contact information on the website itself, or visiting the root of that website (by removing everything after the first single forward slash in the address).

I have received a message on that contains a cow.no address that spreads trojans/viruses. What can I do?

If the address takes you to cow.no/cow_virus.html, I am already aware of that address. If it takes you to a trojan, I would be greatful if you would contact me and tell me all about it.

How do I contact you?

Please read all the information on this page before contacting me. If you are contacting me, please include all relevant information. Please do understand that I normally can not help you with anything, including creating, modifying, blocking or erasing cow.no forward addresses (unless it is a scam or virus/trojan site), nor give out any information about registred cow.no forward addresses. You can contact me on the cow.no Facebook page. You may also contact me at the low priority e-mail address forward_en at-sign cow dot no. Since this is a non profit hobby, and I am usually busy doing other things, please allow some time for a response.
