Vyoma 0 Report post Posted July 27, 2006 I am not sure if you could add referral links here.As for the site itself, going through the ReadMe (http://ww2.d4free.net/?folio=7POYGN0G2) And as for the authenticity of the deals they involve in, I cannot say pretty much. They seem for real alright.I though can say that I did get my TLD at http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ have got a good community (not great, 'cause free stuff always seem to attract some 'particular' kind of people). But they give away only 30 domain names per month. (I think that is almost similar in d4free where they give away one per day). In d4free you get 1 point or 2 points depending on you post in a already existing thread or in start a new thread. You have to make 200 points before requesting a domain name. Hence, that would mean one would have to make roughly 170-200 posts to get a domain.In HostBidder, you get anything from 3 to 10 points depending on which forums you post. And you get awarded points only for the first eight posts in a day. You have to get 1200 points to get a .com, .net, .biz domains and around 400 points for .info domain. That would mean one has to put 400 posts maximum spread in 50 days to get a domain (.com, .net, .biz) or on a minimum 120 posts spread around 15 days.

pyost 0 Report post Posted August 4, 2006 I'd have to agree with Vyoma. Not only does HostBidder have a good reputation, but it also has a rather good crediting system - well, not as good as here at Xisto. Furthermore, d4free.com uses phpBB forums, which is extremelly unprofessional, in my opinion. Everyone knows how unsecure they are, so why use them? HostBidder uses vBulletin, which is one of the most secure BBSes.Also, you can tell if a service is good depending on the number of members. HostBidder has 4000 members, Xisto 12000, but d4free.com less than 1000! It would be better to stick with a bigger forum. That way you can be more sure it is good, and there ought to be more topics you can participate in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Velocity 0 Report post Posted August 4, 2006 You are right, pyost, but nessecarily you can't judge a book by its cover. You can't judge a site by how many members they have. Possibly d4free is just starting out, and all these sites started at a point. I bet Xisto started with phpBB!Anyways, if anybody is planning on registering, hit me up.http://ww2.d4free.net/?folio=7POYGN0G2I need a domain badly. Even if you dont want a domain please register and get me referrals for points Thanks-Kyle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
