I doubt there's any way to get a free one, unfortunatly. But they're not expensive like some may think. I paid about $200 to register Iceteks till year 2014. You can pay per year of course, I pay 20 bucks or something like that, I forget the exact amount.

I can get you registered for $15/year. You can get them as low as $9 a year.

Or you can do this: http://www.dyndns.org/services/webredirect/webhop/

Yeah there's some decent services for short subdomains. That's the best option if you don't want to pay for a domain.

I've used www.cjb.net a couple of times in the past. Not much to say really other than that it works.

www.Dot.tk is a good free domain. It looks just like any other domain((another words no site names or anything you don't want in it)), and it's free.

http://www.godaddy.com is the service I use. It had the cheapest prices I could find and the service has been good.

Just make sure you aren't getting what you pay for.

Does anyone else here think a domain name and actual hosting are being confused?

Probably.

Yeah I see that allot.

Domain = pointer to your hosting. So you only need the hosting, but domain makes your url look nicer. Non technical terms here.

I think they are being confused as well.

What I would do is open up a free subdomain name and then just go to that .tk site and set up your sub domain with them and you can have a short domain name.

For example if your freewebs account was www.freewebs.com/iceteks, you could make it www.iceteks.tk for free.

Yeah and iceteks.tk is technically a full domainname, it's just that it's not a .com domain which most people want. Really not sure how .tk's work though, and why they can get away with not charging. Maybe they put ads somehow, never tried them.

TKs are blind frame wrappers. You hit the .tk, and the address resolves to a web server. The web page has a frameset with a 100% height frame that loads your "real" web page.

Oh ok, so they don't really do the whole dns thing. It's not a "real" domain like a .com, .ca, etc.

Yeah, I believe thats what they do. I think they might add an ad or two as well, I cant remember I only did it once.

Last time I went to a .tk site I didn't see any ads or anything. Of course, since then, if I see a .tk I won't click on it
