Free Subdomains under foo.ng

This project offers free subdomains under the foo.ng domain for anyone who needs a custom URL for their web project, Minecraft server, or anything else that can be pointed to via a DNS record.

What is "foo"?

The term "foo" is a placeholder word often used in computer programming and technical examples. It doesn't have a specific meaning, but it's used to represent a generic name or concept when the actual name doesn't matter.

Important Note: You can only configure one record type per subdomain: either an A Record (points directly to an IP address) or a CNAME Record (points to another domain name).

Getting Started

Here's how to claim your free subdomain:

1. Star this Repository: Click the star icon in the top right corner of this repository.

4. Add Your Subdomain:

   • Open the subdomains.json file in this repository.
   • Add a new entry in the following format:

    - Replace `your-subdomain` with the desired subdomain name (e.g., "bar").
    - Replace `your-target-location` with your project's location depending on the record type:
        - For an A Record: Use the IP address your project is hosted on (e.g., "127.0.0.1"). 
        - For a CNAME Record: Use the domain name your project is currently accessible on (e.g., "cname.example.com").
   

5. Sort Keys:
