Domain Hacks
Members of deviantArt are able to go to their 'stash'; a service where digital media can be uploaded to, stored and published.[2] The deviantArt 'stash' uses the .sh top level domain: 'http://sta.sh'.
Another domain that uses .sh for an hack is the sharing service Puu.sh.
Since the .sh extension is also used by Unix shell scripts, this domain has been used for websites about command-line interface programs as e.g. Homebrew.
