: Is tos.html some kind of standard Terms of service filename? I periodically check my log of 404 errors on my site, and aside of most curious hack attempts I often encounter requests for files

I periodically check my log of 404 errors on my site, and aside of most curious hack attempts I often encounter requests for files that are some kind of standard on a specific platform (apple-touch-icon-SIZExSIZE-precomposed.png is one of them).

And I have just found failed request for tos.html. When I searched it on google, it automatically searched for key "Terms of service", which has led to many terms of service pages, but no information about this kind of filename.

I'm quite curious if there's a word for files that should be on the site (index.php, favicon.ico, robots.txt - I couldn't find any relevant tag for this question)

It's not standard, but it is common. Here are the terms of service URLs for some popular sites:

google.com/accounts/TOS en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terms_of_service twitter.com/tos https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms about.pinterest.com/en/terms-service en.wordpress.com/tos/ www.youtube.com/static?template=terms https://zynga.com/legal/terms-of-service


Not a single one of them uses your exactly URL. However many of them do abbriavite it to "tos" (either capitalized on uncapitalized).

Whether it is called "tos.html" or "terms.html" or "Terms-Of-Service", every website should have one.
