Something I found...

Hi,
I did find a site that is giving one free domain away per business.

You have to call them by phone. Tell the rep you just want the domain name
(unless you want to try their other services).

The rep will take your contact info and send you an email.

The email will have the page link and a password.

Log in and follow the instructions to register your domain name.

Just before posting this , I did register a domain name to test it.

I called and spoke with a Sales Rep.

I asked why and how long they have been offering this and how long it will be available.

He said it's a new offering and they are doing it to promote their Hosting
and Traffic Generating programs but that you can get a domain name
without any purchase obligation.

He doesn't know how long it will be offered.

I did register the domain name: SiriusInfo.com

One caution: I asked the rep outright if the domain was truly mine and if I could do whatever I wanted with it including selling it, changing Name Servers,etc.

The rep said "Absolutely".

But that may not be true. There is no where on the site to log in to your account and change your Password or do anything else.

I called back and spoke to one of the Tech guys. He said the domain is actually registered in "their" name and I would have to go thru them to "point" the domain somewhere else. Otherwise it will be "parked" with them.

I then told him what the rep had said and that their advertising was mis-leading and they have to be responsible for what their reps tell
the public. I also told him I want to be listed as the Administrator.
And that I would never have registered this domain I consider very valuable under those circumstances.

Since the domain was just registered and hasn't propogated thruout the Internet yet (24 to 48 hours) ,the Tech guy can't access anything yet so I have to call him back. I will insist I be listed as Admin.

You can do a Who-Is search in a few days and see if I (Patrick McDermott) am listed as Admin

Excellent work for finding free domain name service! Although I wonder who was the initial poster of your quote?

 

I thought about getting a free domain name but I rather pay $4.98 per year (I made a posting to another thread http://forums.xisto.com/topic/21214-domain-names/ regarding to this price and the registrar) to register and own it as mine rather than have some company hold my business name/company name as a collateral for postings on their forum. Call me lazy, but for quarrel.net in order to receive a free domain of *whatever*.com I have to earn Q$6,000. According to its site a posting or a review earns Q$2. That means I have to put up 3,000 posts per year to keep the name. I am willing to buy one less cigarette ($5.18 USD currently) to keep my domain name registered to me.

What kind of nonsense would be filling the forum if one person has to post 3,000 per year and multiply that by all active users? Gees... I can see THAT forum going down the tube really fast.

 

I rather have free hosting service over free domain name. We should start a poll, don't you think?

I got my .info domain name for free: http://sangnguyen.info/

It's going to expire in September of this year, and they will start charging me if I don't cancel (which I will), but I got one for free.

The reason why it was free is that way back in September of last year, .info domain names were new, and http://www.domainsite.com/ and many other sites were promoting .info domain names by giving them away to users for free. I was one of the lucky people who got the offer. A lot of other people got the offer, and they were pretty greedy (registered the max allowed - 25). If I had thought about batch registering, I could have registered some awesome names, and I would have been rich. Darn.

Well, Quarrel.net actually awards member for activity and dont really wanted to earn from hosting... The admin of the forum has a huge number of websites and you can check out his hosting site: http://www.neonhq.com/

I remember there's 1 site which is a vBulletin forum which offers you free domain names with some points which I forget how much... I also forget the site however I believe I can still find it... I didnt take down the site url because at that time the number of stock left for the domain is out of stock...
