Can I Register A Domain Name For Free?

Category: FAQ   Time: 2009-09-10   Tags: , , ,

I am planning to host a site on my own server, but I need to register the name…is there a way to do this without going through some site that will charge me? Can I go directly to some source rather than through a 3rd party site?

    Yes and no. Even if a domain registrar charges $0.00 for your domain name, there is still an ICANN fee. The registrar can pay that for you, but I doubt they would do that.
    You can obtain a free non-traditional TLD (.tk instead of .com) at the URL below.
    If you ever choose to purchase your web hosting instead of using your own server, you would want to read their terms and conditions. Most will offer a free domain with their service, but will lock it to their service and forbid you to transfer it to another registrar, or make you pay high renewal fees.

    To get a real domain and not a sub domain you will have to pay a registration fee.
    The fee is not all that much and is totally worth it. You can use http://dynadot.com to register your domain for around $9.25 And that is for a whole year so you only have to pay that each year.

    Free domains do not exist because the company that is selling a domain (e.g. godaddy.com) has to pay VeriSign and ICANN to register your domain.
