What is purplecow.org?

The story

Originally, purplecow.org was just a quirky sounding domain name which was actually free around the time domain registrations became less expensive.

Over time, the name became a convenient banner for hosting content, providing online services, filling space on cards and offering an online identity where required.

The services

These days, purplecow.org provides email/calendar hosting, DNS, web space, small general network services, shell accounts and a few other things for a loosely connected bunch of people. This is a non-commercial service.
