Free Domain(Read This)

[Corey]

It is illegal for them to NOT allow you to transfer it.

They might make you jump through a few hoops but they have to let you.

Ok can someone give a success story if s/he got any free domain without cost and how? I everyone here seem to be talking in different directions.

 

[Corey]

I know of a bunch of people who got the free domain. Just becareful going through check out, they do try to add stuff into your cart. Make sure you remove it all before you get to check out. At check out just READ over everything in your cart and make sure it's NOT going to charge you. They do a $1 temporary authorization, this will show up on your credit card for about 3 days then come off. They do this to make sure the card is real.

[Sonic666]

This is bad indeed :O

 

[themasterrocker]

It's not bad, you have to click the right option of Free Domain. Instead of domain and hosting.

60 days has to elapse before they let you transfer your new domain to another registrar.

It's been more than 4 months since Corey first posted this great tip, so many of the members here who were first to register a domain are now eligible to transfer. :dancingna

Has anyone tried to transfer yet, & how easy did they find it? Any tips on how best to do this for the other members here?

Whilst you have a whole year before the free period ends, it is probably advisable to transfer early before you forget & get caught out by their high renewal fees. Many other, cheaper registrars will allow you to transfer the domain to them along with any period remaining of your free year -their new yearly fee will simply add an extra year to the period you already have remaining. Also I have heard that (at least for here in the UK, but probably also for elsewhere) the fees by registrars for .com & .org etc are due to rise in the autumn. And by paying now, you get it at the current rates before the prices go up.

Personally I have found these registrars to provide a good value & reliable service with excellent customer support (I'm not affiliated to them in any way!) - www.daily.co.uk/products/offers.html

And, of course, don't forget to redirect to x10 for your webhosting! :biggrin:

So, Does it support SSH?

So, Does it support SSH?

Domains support SSH given that the server has it enabled for you of course.

 

[ranjeet]

to which registrar i should migrate

 

[terakoh]

Hi ranjeet, how are you going to migrate your domain? Do you think we can just contact the other domain provider and ask them if they are able to transfer the domain?

 

[exemption]

Yea..A credit card is needed in which I don't have...
This would be nice though! >.<
