Pastebin
A pastebin or text storage site is a type of online content-hosting service where users can store plain text (e.g. source code snippets or error logs). The most well-known pastebin is the eponymous pastebin.com, created in 2002. Many sites with similar functionality now exist, and several open source pastebin applications are available for self-hosting. Text storage websites such as Pastebin allows users to create accounts in order to manage and organize their content. After registering, users can create and store multiple text entries, commonly referred to as "pastes". Account holders typically have the ability to edit or delete their stored content at any time. Many platforms also provide privacy options, allowing users to set their pastes as public or private depending on their preferences. Pastebins may provide additional features such as commenting, rendering markup (e.g. Markdown, ReStructuredText), or version control.
