complete list of free domain and subdomain
CO.CC free subdomain is one of the oldest free domain providers and our
top free domain site. The domain was
first registered in 1997, and it is
paid for until 2019, so it will be around for quite some more time. This
free domain has no ads, that means no out of context header or footer banner frame.
CO.CC free domain service can be set using DNS zone records (A, NS, CNAME, MX, TXT), simple nameserver lookup, or free url forwarding. But the best thing about .co.cc domains is that
they are GeoTargetable! Using Google's Webmaster Tools, you can
target any country with this short free domain (it is international like the
next dot com). Up to four
free domains are totally free forever to register for personal use (
blog,
forum,
personal expressive page, etc.)! If you donate just one $10, you can register
unlimited free domains. If in doubt, you see CO.CC is the best option (
better than CO.NR free domain forwarding anyway). And extraordinarily
easy to manage.
A
relative newcomer to the free domains list, but powerful nonetheless. The interface is similar to that of CO.CC, but less crowded (and
less user-friendly in some cases). This free CO.TV domain also
supports nameservers, simple url forwarding, and zone records. As with free CO.CC domain, you can
geographically target this domain, so it is
suitable for international people. Showcase your website with a fancy CO.TV free domain. You are allowed three free domains or web forwards, which you can renew (for free) each year.
Another good
free CC domain. The CZ prefix does imply Czech Republic, but
registration is in no way limited to other users, and their
domains are accessible world-wide. As opposed to CO.CC and CO.TV, they allow
free short 3-character domains; many are still available, so
grab yours now! You can also
register their free domains for two years in a batch, so that relieves you of one more thing to worry about soon.
Domain renewal is always free, of course!
The site and interface looks very similar to that of CO.TV. The policy is similar too: You can choose any free domain, and buy some more generic "premium" domains for $5 through $99. You can register up to 3 domains for free.
RR.NU is a
short free domain offering from Sitelutions. They allow
url redirection or forwarding, or modification of various DNS records, including
NS records, although the last option is a bit
hidden in the advanced configuration. A reliable and powerful service, which results in an elegant
free NU domain name for your website!
UNI.CC is another
"aged" free domain site. They offer
free subdomain forwarding with DNS support. UNI.CC is also two-clicks-compatible with Google Sites and Google Apps. If you want to use their DNS service,
they require a small button backlink as an expression of gratitude. Your
domain must be active (10+ hits within last 3 months), otherwise it may be deleted.
EU.ORG is
one of free domain pioneers. Present since 1995, their free sub domain is intended for everyone, who cannot buy their own domain, and are somehow
affiliated with the EU. Various county-code and functional sub domains are available. EU.ORG domain registration procedure seems a little challenging at first, but is actually really
simple and fully automated. First you register an Administrative handle (yourself), and then you attach a domain to your handle via online form. You can set
NS and
MX DNS records. This free domain is definitely a
very reliable service run by knowledgeable geeks of Europe.
YI.ORG is a paid
DNS hosting and
domain registration service, as well as
free subdomain provider. You can have a YI.ORG subdomain pointing to your established or future website. YI.ORG interface allows
specifying website to forward to, or a set of DNS records. New free registrations have been discouraged and hindered, so you are on your own there.
XORG.PL is one character over the length limit we lightly enforce here, but we decided to include it anyway. This is a free domain from talented young Polish webmasters. The website is in Polish language only, and the domain is targeted to users from Poland, but nothing prevents you from registering it wherever you may be located. The web interface allows configuration of simple URL cloaking, IP entry or a set of nameservers.
DA.RU is
one of the oldest domains for free. This
free domain with DNS control or
domain redirection will undoubtedly
raise respect of your website as RU (Russian) domains are very esteemed world-wide. Free DA.RU domain registration interface is a little advanced, but nothing an experienced
hacker couldn't handle.
Updates are instant. Note, if you are using web redirection,
DA.RU adds a small footer frame, but there are
no ads if you are using nameservers.
BEE.PL, OSA.PL, BIJ.PL and some others are free Polish domains. The
website and registration is in Polish language, but with some help of Google Translate one can find his way to the domain control panel easily. Very
professional web site and service.
ZA NiC provides
free domain registration to companies or private users, who cannot afford high domain fees.
ZA.NET and ZA.ORG domains are freely available, and
restricted to individuals and organisations with a presence in South Africa. Valid South African contact details are required. They provide
no url redirection, so in order to use ZA domains you need to configure a set of nameservers.
NET.RU and ORG.RU are two other
domain names for free. COM.RU domain is not available any more due to abuse. If you want to register a NET.RU or ORG.RU
free subdomain, you have to
first set up your nameservers to answer for it. The
free domain registration is
not instant, and takes up to a day to process. You can also apply through their forum.
BIZ.LY is a good sounding domain name. They offer their
free domain with their hosting, but
domain-only registrations are also possible. They accept, however,
only completed well-designed websites.
XE.CX, 0TO.EU and some other domain names are provided courtesy of CreateNIC.de (Remo Ribeli). Not regarding the looks of their website, they seem to
give a solid free domain service. The website is
written in German, though.
The
registration procedure of ORG.UA domain
can be a little tricky, but not hard. First you need to create a UANIC handle, only then can you register a ORG.UA domain on their Ukranian site.
PP.UA domain is targeted at
Ukranian, Russian, Belorusian, Georgian and Kazakhstani people ONLY, and strictly
demands mobile SMS confirmation, before domain delegation. It has thus not been tested.
OK.PE is a free domain provided by Peruvian host AQPHost. Domain site is in Spannish language only, and domain registration is mainly targeted at Peruvian visitors. They provide simple URL redirection as well as management of CNAME, A and MX records.
A note of warning: during the time of writing this short review the server answering
OK.PE went offline, and was again offline at a few later checks. If you can, avoid this one, and
choose a more reliable registrar.
If you know the IP of the server your files are hosted on, or if your hosting provider provides a
common IP interface to where your files are located (i.e. of
caching server), you can use Venez.fr services. They only allow IP (DNS
A record, only after registration), and simple URL redirection, but they
give away a bunch of generic domains, such as:
xl.cx, 0rg.fr, ze.tc, be.ma, 1s.fr, zik.dj, fr.ht, ch.ma, and quite some others! Website is
in French.
