What is the best way to create a domain for free?

Question

I am trying to create my own website (domain) and I am trying to find the best way to do this for free. I do not want it to be on a host website like www.mywebsite.microsoft.com, I would like it to be more like www.mywebsite.com. And if there is not a service that does this for free, could you please tell me the best or cheapest one for this? Thanks.

Answer 2

Domain registration requires a fee, so the only way to get a domain is to pay for it. Also, you are required to fill in your personal information when you register a domain. Your email. Your address. Your phone number. Pretty much everything short of your social security number. Your personal information then becomes public domain, meaning anyone can search for it using a whois database by looking up your domain. I don't think you are capable of creating and managing a social networking site, if you didn't even know this information already. The social networking sites that exist today were not created by prepubescent girls who are clueless about coding a website from scratch.

Answer 3

You must pay for it.



As you may know a domain name is just a name, not a real website. If you are going to create your website: 1- Buy a domain name. A domain name is a name you want to call your website (ex: www.yahoo.com). To get a domain name, you have to pay an annual fee to a registrar for the right to use that name. 2- Buy a web hosting service to provide your online space and enable you to get your website online at your purchased domain name.



If you want to start your website I recommend purchase your domain and hosting together. In this way it is possible to get your domain for free. Some hosting services offer this gift today.



As an experienced webmaster I recommend BlueHost service which I’m sure it would work for you and fulfill all your requirements. They have a really great offer for hosting & I have used them for over 3 yrs now, and have never had a single problem with them.

Answer 4

You have to be careful when going with a cheap registrar for domain names, because sometimes they'll be cheap for the first year, and then in the second year they up the price ten-fold.



Yahoo did that to me... I bought a domain name for $2.99 and the next year they wanted $35.00 to renew it. I quickly transferred that domain off of Yahoo onto NameCheap, which is a site I do like. NameCheap charges just over nine dollars a year for a domain name which I think isn't bad at all.



But whatever you do, watch out for the bait-and-switch. Make sure that you own the domain name and not the registrar. Ask around, your friends or coworkers, anyone who might own a domain name or two for more than a few years who they go with.

Answer 5

Matt,



I think you have some things mixed up here.



The best way to create your own website is to get a web host. Its very cheap, and they give you a free domain . It will only cost $40.for everything. Then you will have your own domain, such as Matt.com.

When you use a free site, then you get a subdomain, such as matt.weebly.com.



So you see getting a web host is the answer to having your own domain. That $40 gives you your domain name, unlimited space, and the best tools and programs to create your website.



I help people get started with this and I dont charge to help. You can contact me at [e-mail]

Answer 6

If you are using a webhost that gives a subdomain, then use dot.tk.



Dot.tk will you allow you to have like mywebsite.tk



It has no ads and it is free.



If you are hosting a website on your own computer, use no-ip to create a subdomain like mywebsite.no-ip.org and then use dot.tk to use mywebsite.tk forwards to mywebsite.no-ip.



That's a free way. If your site gets visitors and they donate $ to you for a domain, then buy one. I say "don't spend 10$ for a domain if your site doesn't get any visitors."

I would buy you a domain, because I ahev a business but PayPal limited my account so I can't buy one.

I'm really good in domains and hosting, so if you need any further help, please message me if you want.

Answer 7

How much do you spend a year on junk you don't need? A domain name is under $20 a year for any domain name (and some are a lot cheaper). Try http://www.godaddy.com/default.aspx

1) You can get mywebsite.co.cc for free at http://www.co.cc



2) You can get a real .com inexpensively at http://www.domaincityhosting.com which is loaded with features.
