Self-expiring, disposable or temporary emails have been around for some time and are quite useful for quickly joining a website that forces its users to register before they can see the content or participate. Disposable Websites on the other hand is a concept that I never heard before.
Create a website that is valid for a maximum of 90 days before it expires and gets deleted. The basic editor gives the user some options to add tables, links, images and paragraphs. What puzzles me at the moment is the use of such a service. The only use that comes to my mind would be a temporary homepage for a project that is also expiring after 90 days.
The option to issue editor keys to friends to give them edit rights as well seems to point in that direction. It is furthermore possible to set the expiration time of the homepage to an earlier date. The maximum however is 90 days.
Can you think of any other applications for this service ? I would love to hear your thoughts about it.

A good use of this will be for the bot farmers. Send out email vectored bots and than have the zombies dial into the temp website for instructions. After which, everything self destructs.
But this is a stretch for a “good use”. Anyone with any brains would have the bots look at a select newsgroup to download instructions anonymously.
However, if the infectious agent is used to gather user info, than sending the targets’ info to a temp website would be more useful than a newsgroup. While downloading the targets’ info from newsgroups is a lot more anonymous, it’s also subject to leakage to rival hackers. A temporary website that you have control over would control who has access to your farm’s data.
