About REGISTER65, & how a dispatch gets filed

Register65 in brief

Register65 is a free, human-maintained directory of the open web. We file sites across 22 subject registers — from automotive and clinical to legal and travel — ordered the way a newsroom dispatch feed is ordered: newest entry on top, dated to the minute, no algorithmic shuffling. Every listing was submitted by the site operator, reviewed by a human, and placed on the record only after it passed that check. No scrapers. No automated crawlers. No paid placement.

How the file is kept

When a site is submitted through /add.php, it enters a queue. An editor checks that the URL resolves, that the site fits the stated register, and that the one-line description is legible. If the submitter leaves the description blank, Register65 fetches the site's own meta description so the entry reads in the operator's voice rather than ours. Duplicate domains are rejected at the database level — one entry per site, full stop.

What the register is not

Register65 is not a ranking, a leaderboard, or an authority score. A listing here is a pointer to a site that exists and was worth filing — nothing more. The order within each column is chronological, not evaluative. We do not rank sites against each other, weight entries by traffic, or accept payment for placement.

Filing a site

If you operate a site that belongs in one of the 22 registers, file it from /add.php. Choose the column that best fits the subject matter, provide a canonical URL, and add a one-line description if you have one. Your entry goes onto the record the same day it clears the review queue. The process is free and takes about a minute.

About the number 65

The name is a reference to the index column number where this directory was first catalogued internally. It carries no other significance. The register currently holds 829 entries and grows as new submissions are reviewed and filed.
