Free Website Domains

I Have My Free Domain, What About You?

Summary about free website domains by Sheldon C. A. Smith

The first thing you need to do to establish a presence on the internet is register a domain name. When registering a domain name, you can choose to pay for it, or you can register your domain for free. Choosing to go with a free domain can get you started just as fast while keeping money in your pocket for other expenses.


There are two choices of free domain registration. The first is to register your domain with a free hosting provider. This option will package your domain name with web space so that you can get going right away. You will often get anywhere from 25mb to 100mb of disk space, which is not bad when starting out, however, your domain name will look like this - yourname.hostingcompany.com or hostingcommpany.com/yourname.

The second option is to register your domain name with a company that will offer you your chosen name with a sublevel extension. For example, instead of paying for yourname.com, you can register yourname.co.cc for free. It doesn’t look that different and your name is still the focal point of the actual address. If it is a popular name or word, there might be a nominal fee but you can always get around that with hyphens or simple rearrangement.

Your free domain also gives you control over your domain name servers. What this means is that you can have it directed to your hosting company where it will be easier for you to manage and upload files and images. If you do not have a hosting company for your domain, there are many websites that will offer you free hosting, some with ads and some without. You can also forward your domain to another website so that when your customers type in your address, they will be redirected to another site or page.
