i am not affiliated with the site in anyway. I read thier press release this morning and thought I would see if it was real.

No credit card or payment info was needed - and I now own 25 .info domain names.

They claim on thier press release this is s promotion to pull in new clients.

Worked for me. 25 free domain names was kinda kool. (even if they were .info - not my favorite extention ..)

So I thought I would pass it on to other developers.

You dont have to host with them or anything. I found no strings attached except for they give you the option to buy other services.

Oh yea the regestrations are for 1 year - and the current price for renewal is $7.77.

I hope this dont sound like an addvertisement... becouse I would rather you visit my site LOL but i wanted to share this. Offer ends sept. 9th.

www.domainsite.com

Seems pretty cool.

Registered a couple myself and checking it out.

Free domains?

I'm gonna check it out.......


Got my first FREE domain....pretty cool

Yea I took this offer up with domainsite.com, seems pretty cool so far. Their renewal rate is decent $7.77 hopefully they don't up them just before the year is up. If they do, I suppose you could transfer the names out to someplace else.

nyone give my giudendce were to claim the domains?
I signed up and looked all over the site for were I should claim the 25 domains.

how did you do it?

I wish they offered out .us domains or sth lol.

i'd stick with .org/.net tho:P

Just go ahead and register a .info and your balance will show as $0.00, you can register up to 25 names.

sounds cool but I could access it
the page can't be displayed

I saw this on another forum.

Someone was in auction house earlier trying to sell off their free domain names too ROFLMAO!!!!

yeah, same problem here..

HEY PEOPLE WE JUST GOT SCAMMED,

LOOKS LIKE A PASSWORD COLLECTOR

OP has only 6 post

Huh? How is it a password collector? What password can they collect outside of the one you sign up to their site with? I registered 25 of them, and 2 of which I've already pointed to a server using A Records. They are already showing in whois with my information.

They are an ICANN accredited registar http://www.icann.org/registrars/accredited-list.html

still offline though..

You just registered a domain, you still need hosting, change the DNS servers.

I can get on the site fine.

I have 2 domains so far....

It is not a password collector for sure.
Domainsite was down and up for two days because they didn't expect to get such a huge traffic from offering free domains.
I checked the webhostingtalk forum and it's confirmed. Their rating was suddenly rised at Alexa.

I suppose now is back to normal as I just registered 3 more domains

This site is great..i'm registering some domains just for the heck of it.
Give me some practice for making sites.

You can build easily and free at geocities using thier pagebuilder tools. then forward your DS domain (www.xxx.info) to that Geocities address through domain forwarding control. That's what I did.. just pm me if you need help. I am not an expert though..

I'm not very impressed so far.

I got one which I want to use as a nameserver. At godaddy.com I just go into my account there and set up nameservers in my account, it takes a minute or so.

So, I registered my new free domain at DomainSite, and when I went looking for how to set up the nameservers, I wound up with this message:

5. How long will my change take?

Any DNS change you make to your domain account will take anywhere from 24 to 72 hours to propagate throughout the Internet.

For those who don't know how nameservers work, each server needs minimum 2 of them. You can use one domain to make the nameservers for several servers, then you have to start with a new domain, because one domain is only allowed for X number of nameservers.
Thus, you use one domain to make nameservers like so:
ns1.domain.com
ns2.domain.com
ns3.domain.com
ns4.domain.com
etc.

But this place is going to make it hard to do nameservers, so I'll just stick with godaddy.

It wasn't like that two days ago

Login to your account, select the domain you set the nameservers for and then on the given options, select 'Edit Name Servers', remove ns1-ns4.domainsite.com and set your own

Did you get a free one set up for nameservers?
I got affiliate-sites.info and would like to do ns1.affiliate-sites.info and ns2.affiliate-sites.info

Where do you enter the ip's without emailing them?

Oh, you want to register the nameserver with them...

Not quite with it today

That would be 'Register a Name Server', enter the host name, click continue, enter the IP, click Add IP then click Register

yes I know
I mean I couldn't access http://www.domainsite.com

Can you access it now?

WOrking fine for me.

Its working now
I just registered some .info domain
really cool

Just want to confirm. The .info domain is only free for one-year, right?
Thanks~

I've registered one .info domainname, but how do I redirect my site to it? =S
Can't find the page to do that...

i read there something that i need to use their nameservers and all i need to do is to point to ip or do a redirection. i tried the second option and it doesn't work

You can do this by choose "URL Forwarding"



That option, just enable it, and choose where you want your site to be redirected to


Edited for typo.

Dotster.com is now offering the same deal.

Wow. Info domains are that worthless now eh? LOL

Doh, I missed that special... I would of jumped all over it

AskRobo.com

domaindiscount24.com is still doing it

Why not ??Advanced DNS Edits

Why using this? The .info domains sucks (not looking professional), and after these actions I really dont trust .info owners anymore

(Just my opinion!)

hi,
it seems that im very stupid i register and when i purche domain name .info i sow the price is 0.99$ also i need to put creditcard info
how to get .info domain for free? please someone explain to me
thanks in advance

Offers are all now closed. You cant get a free .info anymore, i dont think.

ok thanks

Actually I know where another one is... 25 free info sites

Will reveal to someone kind enough to help me set my new .info site up
Just need someone to explain setup in idi0t terms about nameservers/forwarding etc. I can write the actual web page - it's just getting it seen that I might have trouble with - cos I am a m0r0n (with a PhD!)

PM me the reason I wanted something in return is cos I am about to give birth in 2 weeks ( ! ) on my OHs birthday and I want to set up a family website as a present, because I am a bit incapacitated at the moment...

EDITED TO ADD: Just noticed the 25 free .info domains offer ends tomorrow - 5th October 2004

Do you need a credit card for it?

Dotster.com has this kind of offer but it needs credit card information.

Just go ahead and register a .info and your balance will show as $0.00, you can register up to 25 names.

So is this offer still available anywhere guys?

how come im being charge 99 cents for .info domain name?

http://order.1and1.com have them still

try just doing a search for free .info and see what comes up i know different places do specials here and there .. i never have gotten any .info names myself tho...

I loved getting all those FREE domain names. - a year latter.. I am not so thrilled with the bill I just got for $7.99 x 25 !

$199.75

LOL .. I think I will just keep my favorite one and the domain repo man can have the rest!

Where i can get now free domain info?
