Hello,
I know that they are out there and there is one that I used a while ago and liked but dont remember the name of it and cant find it anywhere.
Anyways. I am looking for a free domain name. I have allready tried .tk but they say address dosent exist or is allready redirected by them, and its not. So they wont work.
Does anyone know of any other free domain names? I have searched google up and down and get many results that say free domain names but they all charge.
thanks in advance
If you are broadband and don't expect a whole lot of traffic, you might want to try a dynamic dns service.
They give you a name and then update your ip with thier dns service.
If your ISP blocks port 80, you can always change it to something different, make the change in the software and viola. You are now hosting yourself.
This is only good if you don't expect a lot of traffic, becasue of obvious reasons.
This might also be against your ips terms of use, so make sure its ok first.
A couple that I have used are
http://dyndns.org/
and
http://dynu.com
These are both free services and you can get practically any name you want. It will be in the format of..
name.dynu.com
or
name.dyndns.org
Just figured I'd throw that out there... another good thing is... there is no space limitations!!! :)
You can get a free subdomain, but no ones ever gonna give you a free domain name. Those cost money. I think what you are looking for is a dynamic DNS service. I like dns2go, and a buddy of mine is using kicks-ass.net(pretty cool, no?)
I guess domain name was probably the wrong word. I am actually looking for a refferal service.
DotTK is an example but they are not working for me. I have a vhost and it says that someone is allready linking to that address so it is probably the person that owns the server.
Anyways , if you go to sdfhjksd.tk (just an example) it will say that it is avalible and then you give your information and then the web address that you want to link it to.
So lets say i filled out sdfhjksd.tk to link to www.antionline.com..... Now when anyone goes to sdfhjksd.tk it will take them to antionline.
That is what I am looking for when someone goes to the url that I specify I want it to take them to my site
Maybe this is it...?
http://www.cjb.net
thanks for all the help. I fianlly found what i needed http://www.has.it/register.php
dude, Euclid.. just look around, you can get a domain for $7.00 a year easily. and as much space as you need etc. you control almost everything for just $7.00 a year.. you spend more than that on extra beverages per week ;)
I use exactly the same sort of thing on my site with http://www.ulimit.com/ , they have a large variety of subdomains (more than has.it) and a better email liberty (as far as I can judge, has.it doesn't allow you to create email adresses like [email protected]). You should see them.
Not for anything, but whats wrong with the AO subdomain naming service...its free?
Seriously Tedob1, sometimes I feel myself dumb. I have strictly never thought to try it.
I'll go to review it.
edit: There is no "www." with AO subdomains, besides it's stupid for a my site which is in France and designed for French to go via USA.
Finally, I will keep my Ulimit url.
I can offer domains for $9.00, but you can probably find a better deal on the 'net. Also, namezero.com used to offer free domains, but they discontinued that. You probably won't find free domains on the net, but you can find some cheap ones. Mine is $9.00/yr. but you can find better than that. Some offer $5.00/yr, and that's awesome. Hope I helped!
EDIT: CJB.NET offers a nice free re-direction thing. Dot.tk also does, but if you don't want that, cjb.net is another alternative. My best advice is to go for AO's redirection service.
Sure there is kisscool. Just register a user a username of www. Then you'd get www.antionline.org, theoretically :)
