       hosting servers.
       www.my3gb.com
       x10hosting.com
       www.freehostia.com
       www.ripway.com   etc..
       you can find more on web.

C) To upload these files you have to first sign up in the website. After uploading the file you will get a link of your uploading files. Suppose you open a new account in www.my3gb.com with the subdomain as xyz, then your IP link would be

http://www.xyz.my3gb.com/index.php
 

D) Now you will need to send the link of index.php to the victim whose IP address you want to get.   

E) Now when the victim opens the above link nothing will open but his Ip address is written into the ip.html file. So open the ip.html file to get his IP address.

if your email program ‘auto-completes’ email addresses from your address book, you’ll need to keep typing over the top of the auto-completed one to add the .readnotify.com .

if you are cc-ing your email to other readers, you must add tracking to all of them.
