How did free URL services work back in the day? (randomblog.blogspot.com -> randomblog.com.tt)

This post is gonna date me a little but back in the day, if you had a personal web 1.0. page, you could insert it onto different websites and it would give you a functional domain URL for free. So instead of a blogspot.com domain you’d have .uk.tt or something similar

How did that work? And how do you make momey of off it?

If you own a second level domain (like the blogspot in blogspot.com), you are in control of the third level domains, and can assign them freely to whoever.

Hosting of the service is another matter. I believe that is where these blog providers you’re talking about actually got their money, since they also usually provided hosting service, with paid tiers with more features like more storage.
