About Pastebin
Pastebin is a website where plain text, source code, and configuration logs can be saved and shared via URL addresses. This web app takes its name from the combination of the words ‘paste’ and ‘bin,’ meaning ‘to put text into a repository.’
The company was established by Paul Dixon in 2002 and officially started operations on September 3, 2002. The website was intended for coders who wanted to save and show some code snippets but did not want to fill the IRC channels with messages. In 2010, the application was acquired by Jeroen Vader and upgraded.
Pastebin provides programmers, developers, and average users with a means for exchanging code or large files in text format on the Internet. Pastebin has an interface in English and provides its services to an international audience. It works as a public site offering both free service and a subscription.
Its special characteristics include syntax highlighting in various languages, visibility settings for all types of pastes (public, unlisted and private), and different time intervals for the storage of text.
