It costs companies money to create a domain, why would they do it for free? They might as well throw money out the window.

Yeah, the only way you're going to get a free domain is if you pay for the hosting...you can't get both.

I have only two things to say regarding the "free domain" issue:

1) Domains are only $7.95/year, and they're yours for that period of time, so everyone should be able to afford one.

2) If you're not willing to pay even that small a price for a domain, you must ask the question, "Do I really NEED a free domain?" Not every website really needs one, especially if it's just a personal website -- just get a free subdomain URL at http://www.ipfox.com/ or whereever, or if you want to get as close as possible to a domain for free, you could try http://www.dot.tk/ (free www.yourname.tk domains).

A .com domain costs the registar $6 to register so *noone* is going to give you a free domain with no strings attached.
If you do somehow see someone offering a free domain you'll find that it'll be registered in their name and not yours, meaning that they'll own it and not you which gives you zero chance of moving it somewhere else or keep the owner from selling it if they get a good offer.
Same goes with hosts offering a free domain as part of a hosting package. Some will register it in their name even though you're "paying" for it. They'll pick a registrar (most likely they'll resell from one) at a rather high price. They only pay for the first year, after that you'll be paying the fee yourself and you can count on it being significantly higher then what you could get if you'd picked your own registrar. If you're unlucky your current host will charge you a fee to move the domain away from them costing you even more money.
Moral of the story is to pick a direct registrar and register the domain yourself. Don't look for free domains because they don't exist.

Yeh, but you have to have at least something like 150+ visitors / day. Plus you have to have an ad on every page. Personal, i would prefer to lash out :D on the $7.95 / year.

The domain gets registered in their name as well and not yours so they own it and not you.

No, you're not going to get a domain for free... unless you start begging to some domain registrar to do it for you. :biggrin2:

Don't be so greedy... if you really want a domain along with hosting, then scav some money off someone... because you're not going to get it all for free... earn the domain, you won't get it for free...pff.. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
