Of course, it's just a forward, and I don't think that you can manipulate it as much as you want, but I've registered max302.ath.cx with them for my home server stuff, and it works fine.

New D.I.C Head Joined: 18 Nov, 2007 Posts: 28 Thanked: 1 times My Contributions	QUOTE(bobwrit @ 3 Nov, 2007 - 12:17 PM) Are there any site's that allow you to have a free domain name(not a sub domain like XXX.site.com or www.site.com/XXX)? I doubt it but no harm in asking. no dont doupt it! there are so many sites that will give you free space for hosting and free subdomain names (e.g www.freewebs.com). You could also try to redirect your url (e.g www.dot.tk) which will make your website for example from www.freewebs.com/yoursite to www.yoursite.tk However they all add banners or popups (i had tk for a year without any advertisments though). Hope i helped! This post has been edited by sOwL: 19 Nov, 2007 - 04:36 AM

You will still need to host it elsewhere, and they require you to put there logo on your pages. check it out

New D.I.C Head Joined: 1 Feb, 2008 Posts: 14 My Contributions	I know of 2 .tk and .co.nr other then that i dont think there is a way to get a free domain. Oh, well i did once stumble accross a site that gave you a free domain once you have enough traffic. Like they give you a sub domain and once you have enough traffic on your site they give you a normal .com domain name, but i forgot the URL. Sorry, but im sure a quick google search will return some results.
