Where can I get free domain names?
Question:
Is there a web hosting site that offers free domains? I would like to create a site but I am planning to create 3 sites or more…but I don’t want to pay for each domains.
Answer:
What you are looking for simply doesn’t exist unless you get a really expensive hosting account and they feel guilty and toss in a few free domain names. But by the time you pay for hosting, you’ve already taken out a second mortgage on your house to get it. Here’s what I would do.
1) Cheap Domain Names
Get your domains really cheap using this NameCheap coupon code. For under $10, you can snag a domain name and free privacy protection.
I have to tell you a little story that just happened to me yesterday. This marketing outfit that I was looking at recommends using enom for domain names. So I go check them out and I just about fell out of my chair. They want $39.95 for ONE year for a .com name!!!
And, they want $8.00/yr for privacy protection. I always get privacy protection for my domains. Now get this. I can get a .com name and privacy protection at Name Cheap for only $9.79. That same deal at enom is $47.95. That’s almost FIVES TIMES AS MUCH!!!!
2) Multi-Domain Hosting
Then get some good cPanel hosting that will let you host unlimited domains on your account. I suggest WebHostingHub. Here’s what you do, after you buy the domain name, change the nameservers to the Hub’s servers. Then in your Hub account create an addon domain for the domain name. BAMM! Now they’re hooked together. You’ll be happy with hosting at the Hub. The servers are fast and reliable. I’ve never had any of my sites go down due to server issues.
