Websites in GTA IV
This is a list of in-game websites accessible on the Internet in Grand Theft Auto IV, The Lost and Damned, and The Ballad of Gay Tony. These are not real websites but most of the domains are owned by Rockstar Games and redirects to the official GTA IV website in real life. The Wikipedia links in brackets refer to the real life websites it is believed the game's websites parody.
Note: Unlike the real-world Internet, all sites whose URLs are entered manually must include "www." otherwise they will not work. This wiki indexes the websites with the www. omitted for clarity.
Interactive sites
Gameplay-effecting sites
The most important websites in the game consist of emails (used during main and side missions from time to time) and online dating (where Niko Bellic can meet three possible girlfriends).
- eyefind.info (Yahoo!) - Niko's email and homepage.
- mail.eyefind.info (Yahoo! Mail) - Read and reply to emails.
- craplist.net (Craigslist) - Classified ads website. It is interactive only in the sense that if the player responds to Alexandra Chilton's post, she will begin dating Niko.
- autoeroticar.com (DuPont Registry) - Website of the Auto Eroticar dealership, which plays central role in the first I'll Take Her mission.
- littlelacysurprisepageant.com - An apparent child pornography website taken over by the LCPD as a sting operation, the player attains a 5-star wanted level if accessed
- love-meet.net (Match.com) - Interactive dating website through which Niko can gain two additional girlfriends.
- vipluxuryringtones.com (Jamster) – Niko can purchase ringtones and themes for his cell phone here.
News sources and other useful information
The game's traditional news websites (discounting LCPD's website and the secret blog) change as the story progresses, many of their news articles documenting missions Niko does in the game and providing backstory or aftermath to those missions. Occasionally a friend may also alert Niko to a news story appearing on one of the sites.
- libertycitypolice.com (NYPD) - Website of the LCPD, also has online access to the criminal database
- libertytreeonline.com (New York Times) - Moderate (slightly right wing) site for the Liberty Tree
- our-own-reality.com (TMZ.com) - Celebrity news

- whattheydonotwantyoutoknow.com - a conspiracy blog that lists the locations of collectibles and cheats.
Other sites
Social networking and media hosting
Niko is unable to use social networking sites, only communicating through his standard email. These are mostly meant as comedy pieces, but surfing them carefully enough reveals information about two characters Niko eventually meets, Eddie Low and Alexandra Chilton.
- a-thousand-words.net (Flickr) - Photo hosting and sharing website
- blogsnobs.org (Blogger) - Blog publishing website. Once Niko begins dating Alex Chilton, her blog here will periodically update with (sometimes-graphic) descriptions of her dates with Niko.

Online shopping websites
Niko is unable to shop online, with the tiny exception of the mission I'll Take Her, in which Niko simply collects a phone number from Auto Eroticar's site to communicate with the seller (and, having only set a trap for her, abandons the car he was supposedly going to buy).
