homestarrunner.com is the URL of the website and primary home of the Homestar Runner body of work.

Contents

Structure

The Index Page in the first page one sees when visiting the website, and offers the viewer the option to watch the Intro or go to the Main Pages. The Main Pages, which are the main menus of the site, split homestarrunner.com into 6 main categories: Toons, Games, Characters, Downloads, Store, and Email. A few of these categories host subcategories such as Strong Bad Email, and Teen Girl Squad.

The website also hosts several subdomains, such as podstar.homestarrunner.com, which hosts the menu and files for Podstar Runner. There are also a few folders within the domain, such as the folders housing Stinkoman 20X6 and Strong Sad's Lament.

Hidden among the website are various Secret Pages, ranging from toons never added to the main list, pages intended to be found, and unfinished toons. There have also been secret pages removed after fans found them, such as If I Ran the Camera.

Filename Conventions

The 404 error page, which is opened when a nonexistent file is requested.

The files of the pages (.html files) and Flash files (.swf files) are often clearly labeled. For example, the URL for a Teen Girl Squad issue is "tgsX.html", where X is the issue number. The same goes for Strong Bad Emails ("sbemailX.html"), with a few exceptions, and Marzipan's Answering Machine (answerX.html).

Sometimes, the URL relates to the toon. For example, the URL for A Jorb Well Done is "cantsayjob.html", which refers to the toon. Usually, the Flash file will have the same filename as the html page, but there are some exceptions.

Domain

The domain is currently hosted by CaroNet, and was registered on December 6th, 1999 by Harmless Junk, Inc. Its IP is 69.59.23.70. The website used to be hosted by Yahoo!, but it was so popular that it had to be moved. It was hosted by Sagonet until sometime around October 2006.

Other Domains

The Thorax Corporation home page.

Harmless Junk, Inc. also hosts other domains, such as Videlectrix.com, This website contains mild profanity mild language Thoraxcorp.com, and whatthepfargtl.com. The first two of those websites are based off of companies within the Homestar Runner universe, and the last is based off of a toon, but the site has not yet been set up.
