RE: Free domains

i know my friend uses to use .cf that is also free , idk how he got it tho
 
RE: Free domains

I'm actually surprised .tk is still going, I remember having one back in the ezboard days (2001-2002).
 
RE: Free domains

Tk was one of the most popular because it had a very short url and very similar structure of a paid one. Yeah it was really cool for small forums and stuff.
 
RE: Free domains

Any other domains that are free?
 
RE: Free domains

You can go to 1and1.com and get a .com domain for $1 your first year. After that it's only like $15 a year. Considering it's only a dollar for a .com extension it's pretty worth it. I find myself using godaddy the most though only because the domain propagates much faster.
 
RE: Free domains

One dollar for the first year, not bad.
 
RE: Free domains

Surpised .tk is still up and running considering the amount of torrent and virus ridden websites used it. I run away from .tk domains. :P

I don't use TK domains either though I can't say that it would be a bad thing either. I can see how TK domains have been abused in the past but I'm not sure if would have much to do with the domain registrar in my opinion. But I think I get what you mean anyway, that you wouldn't join someones site that was Dot TK. Which I probably would if they were from forum promotion but unless it was someone I was in communication with I would stay away from them as well.

Back in the day it was the nest of people that owned a site and didn't have the money for it. I hosted my first RPG community in one of those back in 2004.

That was a very long time ago lol.

I would never allow that ;)

Personally the 1@Thomasss[/uSER] is right about one thing, that it's a turn off to other users whether they will join your site or not. That's mainly the reason I wouldn't. If you can afford a $1 Dot Com from 1and1.com then there's no need to get a dot.tk domain. It's mainly for young teenagers or children to explore free domains when they are young and don't have the money. At least that's what I did when I was a kid.

@NewsProject look for the archive of this site from 2003 (Yahpoolerz.tk). It was my site from 2003. It wasn't up long but I guarantee it was within that year. I want to see what's on it. I would be excited to see what it looked like. That was when I was 13. If you find it, I will post those 10 posts on your site by the end of the day instead of in 4-5 days guaranteed. Post the link in this thread.

No archive found. I searched for it, but the way back machine couldn’t found anything.
 
RE: Free domains

Don't worry about it. I will post them by the end of this coming weekend. I appreciate the search nonetheless.
 
RE: Free domains

LCN.com are giving away free .co.uk domains :)

names.co.uk are also but they charge you a quid, which is deposited back into your bank within 72 hours.
 
There was a company called freenom that offered free domains, these domains came with the extensions like dot tk, dot cf, etc. But the company stopped service a long time ago. These days some hosts gove you dot com or dot net free if you buy hosting from them
 
What I am saying is not free, but it's a good deal. It's the fact you can search and find at least one deal (probably more out there) where .coms are a dollar. Anyway, I won't mention where it is cause it would be spamming on here.

There are probably places to get free domain extensions. However, I think they are tough to find and tough to implement. Of course, I'm talking about free "with no strings attached", like what used to be on Freenom.
