Okay, so you’ve got a kool website of your’s.
It’s just a simple personal homepage and you want it to show the world what you did?

Oh! You also managed to get a free hosting service at geocities / googlepages ?

Great - -now all you need is a short url like www.yourname.com so that you can ask your friends to visit it.

Have you tried google-ing on free domain names? If yes, you will find many free domain name services, but they come witha twist. You have to either buy a hosting package or buy more than one domain name. Well, what is free then?

Let me help you.

There are numerous sites that offer “Free” domain names - but NONE of them are really Free. All of them put in their ads on your site, either as a top banner or as a pop up.

All you can do is choose between a “seemingly harmless” one.

Here are some few picks

1 www.dot.tk
- Reliable service
- Pop up and Click through link
Ex - www.yourname.tk

2 www.freedomain.co.nr
- No ads
Ex- www.yourname.co.nr

3 www.cjb.net
- Banner
Ex - www.yourname.cjb.net

My pick is dot.tk - though it has a popup and a click through link, it is reliable service and have not disappointed me yet.
