Enjoy

[phuckedup]

You need to enter your CC details?

Looks sus.. :S these guys legit with ICANN?

Thanks a lot Moonman :)

[Moonman]

I don't think you need to enter your CC details, I didn't. Yes, ICCAN Accredited.

[phuckedup]

Yeah, i didn't enter anything and it worked! Thanks again buddy

ICCAN, ICANN, same thing ;)

[Moonman]

Sif pick on my spelling, i'm tired and in a rush :P

[phuckedup]

lol i don't know which was right - i thought mine was wrong :P

[Antonio]

the domainsite.com offer 1year free info domain.
is it true?

[phuckedup]

http://freewebspace.net/forums/showthread.php?t=59012 :)

[Antonio]

i have registered one ,but the redirect manage does not work

[Moonman]

Nope yours is definately correct.

[phuckedup]

Setting up the URL forwarding worked for me, but i guess it'll take some time for the domain to become active and the redirect to start working. .info domains don't take too long though, a few hours if i recall. A whois request already works and i registered the domain an hour ago.

[Techrad]

I'm currently getting a 404.

[phuckedup]

The site's down, i guess we killed it.

But Antonio, my domain is redirecting now

[tmgavin]

probobly got shut down for illeagle activites lol

[phuckedup]

doubt it, they've been around since '98

[velton]

but i cant visit them now .. LOL

[aki]

free for a year?

[aki]

and how do we change the DNS? i can't see it lol

[Techrad]

Hmm.. Created a .info domain, although I can't seem to find where I can change the DNS Records.. Help, anyone?

[phuckedup]

towards the middle - edit nameserver/DNS or something

[aki]

Hmm.. Created a .info domain, although I can't seem to find where I can change the DNS Records.. Help, anyone?

that's my question too, read above :)

[aki]

towards the middle - edit nameserver/DNS or something
tried it all, none of them work, you have to have ns1.domainsite.com.

[Techrad]

towards the middle - edit nameserver/DNS or something

Important: Please Read
ns1.domainsite.com
ns2.domainsite.com

must be entered as "Current" name servers to take advantage of our real time DNS tools and URL forwarding

If the domain name is locked, it will need to be unlocked before name servers can be edited.

-- Does that mean I add those two, then I add my host's name server's afterwards? :confused4

[aki]

no, i think they mean you can't it unless the host has thier name server

[QuestionMark]

so DNS is disabled then?

[Corazu]

No, if your host has ns1.theirsite.whatever and ns2.theirsite.whatever, then you can add thme.

Regards,

[QuestionMark]

alright but i'm guessin it'll take 24 hours for DNS to resolve?

[QuestionMark]

to change DNS u need to go to the Advance DNS Sets the Choose NS and add the nameservers 1 by 1 i think

[aki]

choose NS ? there are no such a word there


Click desired action below
Renew Domain
Change IP
URL Forwarding
Hidden Whois
Edit Contacts
Account Transfer IMPROVED!
Edit Name Servers Advanced DNS

and here is their text:
DNS Management A domain name must use our NS1.DOMAINSITE.COM and NS2.DOMAINSITE.COM name servers in order for DNS Management to work. Here you can point a host name to an IP address. To point just asdfe.com to an IP address, leave the hostname field blank. To point www.asdfe.com to an IP address enter www into the host name field. To point all sub domains for asdfe.com that do not already have a host record to an IP address enter * into the host name field. You can add multiple host records for a domain name.

[Foxy]

to change DNS u need to go to the Advance DNS Sets the Choose NS and add the nameservers 1 by 1 i think

it takes 1hr-2 hrs to have it all set up. YOu can have URL redirect, or , have it dns to a IP address (if you host your own) are the other possibilties.

[aki]

so we CAN'T use DNS like normal domains ?

[Techrad]

Hm.. They're not accepting:
- ns1.ifreebee.com
- ns2.ifreebee.com
:(

[aki]

that's what i try to tell ya :p

[AdmiralKishen]

So your saying there is no point in getting this domain?

[QuestionMark]

u can but u need to go under the part that says Advance DNS edit then choose NS

[aki]

hm...but there are no Choose NS

[AdmiralKishen]

[AdmiralKishen]

and you dont have to pay anything for this right nothing at all?

[AdmiralKishen]

wow that sucks, for dns stuff

[Foxy]

bah you people, do the ip thing, your hoster, should be able to provide both, name server, and just Ip reroute to your account.. and have dns... just cus, the name server option isnt able you can do it the other ways.. and its 1 year registration.

[AdmiralKishen]

Im thinking of just hosting my site on my computer

[aki]

[AdmiralKishen]

ya basically

[AdmiralKishen]

[Jan]

One of my registrars also has the free .info now, I received an email earlier. www.namesecure.com

[Techrad]

One of my registrars also has the free .info now, I received an email earlier. www.namesecure.com

I can't seem to change the NS.

[xBloodshed]

i registered a domain, But I just cant enter domainsite.com now!!

[Jan]

I can't seem to change the NS.
I haven't tried namesecure as I don't need a domain at present. I already have three undeveloped ones :o Just cos they are free is no reason to get one if you don't need it :p If I have a brainwave, I might register one to see how all the DNS stuff works.

[Plead]

If you want to know about getting .INFO domains you can look at this site:

http://www.free-dot.info

Good luck.

[xBloodshed]

wow....cool!!! I 'll try it all though DomainSite.com has become unreachable after i registered :(

[xBloodshed]

DomainSite is down rigt?!? Been trying to enter the site to update my domain info etc since morning n now its down for almost 8 hrs!!! :(

[Ashed]

i registered a domain, But I just cant enter domainsite.com now!!
I don't think you can since it doesn't mention anything regarding DNS. :shame:

[aki]

so did the support guy tell us that he did change the DNS for me?

[stanz]

try this resource site: http://www.free-dot.info/reg.html

[aki]

[Techrad]

[Techrad]

nvm, I found out how to create it. Thanks anyway :)
You have to make an account, then you log off, then you register it, then you login again.. A bit complicated though.

[aki]

heheh yeah, but the DNS works although, i have to wait to the damnnnn domainsite.com online so i can unreg the domain :p

[AdmiralKishen]

domaindiscount24.com IS GOOD! :)

[Techrad]

domaindiscount24.com IS GOOD! :)

Agreed. :)

[aki]

ohh why did i reg the domain at domainsite.com :( noow i can't release the domain grrrrrrrrr


btw read -> http://www.free-dot.info/reg.html

[Techrad]

ohh why did i reg the domain at domainsite.com :( noow i can't release the domain grrrrrrrrr

DS will be back online, it's probably because of bandwidth overusage. :(

[aki]

sure? i can't get in the DS

[iconrate-K-A]

i registered their last night got my domain paid for 2 years and since then the site has been unreachable

[william232]

i got my domains im hosting my domains on my own server great offer they got :)

[iconrate-K-A]

yeah its a good deal but im not happy sinse i paid for it and cant get access to update it for over 12 hours

[ichibaka]

This is sweet, but I still have a question. I'm currently hosted by someone, so is it possible for that person to host this .info domain (if possible) and point it directly to the directory where all my data are?

[Corazu]

I wouldn't pay for stuff at a registrar like that ;)

Get it for one year and then transfer it into godaddy or namecheap or something like that. Cheaper, and more reliable.

Regards,

[iconrate-K-A]

well i guess i wasted $7 well maybe not the domain is working i will probably transfer it elsewhere if their site is ever back up

[bozley05]

Yah, you just set the name servers and add the domain in your control panel, like you do with a normal .com

[iconrate-K-A]

http://domainsite.com is back up

[xBloodshed]

damn... how do I cancel/remove my domain from domainsite?!?

[phuckedup]

Once you've ordered it, you cant until it expires. If you don't want it, you can transfer it to my acct :P (if it's possible..?)

[aki]

damn... how do I cancel/remove my domain from domainsite?!?

try click on expiring domain and remove it. don't know if it works but wtf :)

[Ignite]

Damn, I just signed up with them. And from all the reviews they seem to go down alot.

Should have used a different registar. Now I'm stuck with this.

[phuckedup]

Only the domainsite.com goes down, not your domain. If you're using the DNS function, you won't have any problems.

[aki]

how about transfer, any1 here tried it out? i can't %#&Q%# transfer. btw did you guys noticed only 1 person work at domainsite.com ?

[trevorf]

only if your using another name server, but if you didn't change it ... still would go down also ... can't get my other ns working wth it at the moment.

[aki]

hm.. suddenly my dns at domainsite.info works huh ? how could it be, i deleted the it yesterday. btw look if you have change name server at www.whois.sc that is were i saw my domain ns change.

[bozley05]

um.. you know how there is like 3 or 4 registrars offering 25 free .info domains, is that for each registrar or is that all sites?

[aki]

i dont know, but what i do know is try to void www.domainsite.com if you can

[bozley05]

From joker.com:



Afilias (the .info registry maintainer) offers one free additional year for every ordered .INFO domain to all registrants.
Promotion rules follow:
only registrations made between 1st of September 2004, 00:00:00 UTC and 31th of December 2004, 23:59:59 UTC are eligible.

only registrations between 1 - 9 years will be eligible. We will charge those registrations immediately as usual. As soon as we get the confirmation from Afilias, we will add one (1) year without any charge and will notify you! (Note: This is done on a monthly basis)

all .INFO registrations, including IDNs, are eligible as long as they meet all criteria.

registrants are limited to a maximum of 25 free domain years per registrant for each registrar they register with. Registrations made in excess of the maximum will not be credited.
Whether a registrant is the same registrant shall be in Afilias sole discretion.


Note that this program is provided at the sole discretion of Afilias. An analysis will be conducted at the conclusion of the program and any adjustments required to ensure conformance with program rules will be made to registrar and resellers accounts at that time.


It appears we can get 25 at each registrar :) As someone once said to me, never knock back anything free. hehe..

Joker sucks though, coz it appears you have to buy 2 years and then get one free :(

I'll keep looking for more sites.

[Techrad]

Domainsite is back up.

[aki]

i think the server open in daytime (GMT) and close at night.

[mystery250]

Only free for the first year.

[aki]

true, but hey its free for a year, then we'll see if i keep it or not

[tmgavin]

i think the server open in daytime (GMT) and close at night.
its now 4 pm gmt+8, so ur saying its open GMT+0 what time??

[mystery250]

It's up all the time, that it can be. It's been around for years, so it's not going anywhere. The other one you mentioned requires a credit card, domainsite.com does not.

[aki]

so you mean that those who can't access the www.domainsite.com are lying? cause we all know that the website went up and down constantly in the last few days

[Wavestreaming]

This is interesting, i've registered a whole load - great offer :D

[aki]

all 25 ? hehehe wait until the bill dops into ur mailbox :)

[bozley05]

all 25 ? hehehe wait until the bill dops into ur mailbox :)

What bill? They are free for one year, then comes the renewal notice... If you want to keep the domain, you then pay the renewal fee.

The reason Afilias is doing this is a long-term plan to increase their sales volumes.. They would probably have an aim like 3 in every free 10 domains will be renewed, there is a low marginal cost involved in the promotion, so why not do it?

[tmgavin]

its still down!!!!!

[Techrad]

its still down!!!!!

http://www.domaindiscount24.com (www.domaindiscount24.com)

[FunkyZone]

domaindiscount24.com IS GOOD! :)

how can I register there if I dont have a credit card?

[aki]

you dont pay for free, just buy and checkout 0$

[iconrate-K-A]

they will also have this deal because they know some people will choose more than the first free year like me i got 2 years for $7.77 would normally have cost just over $15 for 2 years

i have one at domainsite.com and have no problems with it even with there site being down

the other is http://www.domaindiscount24.com/ that is free to and doesnt require any credit card

[mystery250]

discountdomains or whatnot, does require a cc when you want to create your acct

[Techrad]

discountdomains or whatnot, does require a cc when you want to create your acct

I put f4k3 0n3z. :-)

[iconrate-K-A]

well i can assure that no credit card was required at domaindiscount24 because i dont have one

[stanz]

just choose bankwire transfer, and its free for account at domaindiscount24

[tmgavin]

http://www.domaindiscount24.com (www.domaindiscount24.com)
ok this works, great, thanks, when signing up for account, just select wire transfer, so u skip all the messy credit cards :classic2:

[jutplus]

redirection at domaindiscount really works... regarding DNS, do we need also to contact the host to make changes to the NS before it will work or it will work even we're the one to placed the NS without contacting the domaindiscount?

[bozley05]

**** Warning ****

Make sure that you provide your real details, coz a friend of mine used a fake phone number and lost all the domains he registered. Lucky I don't care about privacy :)

Yes but they also stipulate that you cannot transfer the domain before 2005. Might not be a problem, but then again ....

[blueonline]

and which does not requires my CC info

[nix]

check http://www.free-dot.info/reg.html

can do with DomainDiscount24.net

[blueonline]

i will check them out :)

[astash]

bleh, they all require credit cards now. (hostway used to not need one, but now they need it)

I should have registered more than 1 at that time. (cause I don't have a credit card XD)

[bozley05]

Thanks, nice find!

I recently got an e-mail from iDotz saying I'm gonna lose like 10 domains I got through them unless i pay, it is because they are a reseller of DomainDiscount24 or vice versa... Damn unclear t&c of this promotion.

At least I know domaindiscover is their own registrar.

[networker]

Well, I think this thread is outdated

you have to pay 1 $ per .info domain name for the first 25, then 4$ per domain name

late entry I lost the opprtunity

[tmgavin]

Thanks, nice find!

[WolfenHoffen]

DOMAINDISCOVER.com offers free .info domains with no credit card required. I just signed up 4 domains with them, and it didn't ask for a credit card.

[salaam]
