A free gazetteer of 833 working websites — browse a section or file your own site.
Dispatch5 is a free web gazetteer — a hand-compiled index of working websites filed into 22 named subject sections. Think of it as a printed reference guide for the web, organised by topic rather than by search relevance.
Yes. Filing is free, browsing is free, and there are no paid tiers or promoted placements. Dispatch5 is a free reference gazette with no commercial ranking.
Sites are filed into one of 22 named sections — from Gaming Halls and Law Chambers to Press Offices, Technical Instruments, and Itineraries. Each section is a browsable list of entries in that subject area.
Visit the filing page, paste your URL, pick the section it fits best, and optionally add a one-line description. If you skip the description, we fetch a short summary from your page. Your site appears in the gazette immediately.
We check that the submitted URL resolves to a real, working website. Dead links, parked domains, and login-walled homepages are returned quietly. We do not filter by topic or language — only by whether the site is working.
Your entry appears in the gazette within a minute of submission, usually faster. There is no waiting room or manual approval queue for working sites.
To request a correction or removal, reach us via the About page. We handle update and removal requests by hand and aim to respond within a few days.
Dispatch5 is a free, hand-compiled gazetteer of 833 working websites, each filed into one of 22 named subject sections. The gazette covers the full range of commercial and informational web activity: from Gaming Halls and Building Trades to Infirmaries, Law Chambers, and Press Offices. Every entry was checked for a working URL before filing. Dispatch5 does not rank pages, calculate authority, or sell placement — it holds a fixed register of sites, browsable by subject. The gazetteer is updated as new submissions arrive. To add a site, visit the filing page and paste your URL — the entry appears in the register within minutes, at no cost. Dispatch5 is part of a wider network of independent web directories, each with its own design and editorial voice.
