NONE of the links below are affiliate links.

I am constantly adding to this list as and when I find sites of interest.

I hope that you find the list of use.

AlternativeTo

Ever find an app that you want to use, but it’s too expensive or doesn’t work on your platform of choice? Or perhaps you’re looking to replace one of your favorite apps that was recently discontinued? In these cases, AlternativeTo can help.

Namechk

Namechk

If you’re thinking about changing your username on various internet services, you should consult the useful site Namechk first. It lets you enter any username, then shows the services where that name is still available.

This way, you’ll know whether a new handle will work on all sites. You don’t want to change your username on half of the services you use, then find that it’s already in use on some

ManualsLib

ManualsLib

Chances are that you don’t keep the manuals for every device you own. That can become a problem if you run into an issue with your device and need to consult the instructions for something.

Thankfully, even if you’ve thrown away your copy of the manual, ManualsLib is an excellent resource for finding instruction manuals online. Just input your device name and model to search for manuals. In addition to computers and phones, you’ll find manuals for vacuum cleaners, appliances, stereo systems, and more.

CloudConvert

CloudConvert

You’ll likely need to convert a file to a different format at some point. When you do, head to the useful website CloudConvert. This makes it easy to change any file to pretty much any other format.

When you upload or drag a file to its interface, you can choose which format to convert to. The site is smart, so it only shows formats that make sense given the original file. Conversions are quick and simple; you can do 25 per day for free.

Recently changed your DNS records, switched web host, or started a new website: then you are at the right place! DNS Checker provides a free DNS lookup service to check Domain Name System records against a selected list of DNS servers located in multiple regions worldwide. Perform a quick DNS propagation lookup for any hostname, and check DNS data collected from all available DNS Servers to confirm that the DNS records are fully propagated.

With Privnote, you can send a note that self-destructs after it’s read. This is great when you need something more private than an email to send sensitive information.

It offers a few options that let you set when the message will delete, add a password for more protection, and receive an email to confirm the message was destroyed.
