Free .info Domain for one year

[alexfiles]

in case this hasn't been discussed yet. head over to www.mydomain.com or www.namesecure.com to register a .info domain name. registration is free for a limited time and effectively yours for one year. after that (as usual), there's a renewal yearly renewal fee.

both sites would need your credit card numbers though but wouldn't be charged for anything (purely for verification).

in fact, i've registered and currently a proud owner of a .info domain =)

btw, i'm in no way connected to mydomain.com or namesecure.com. just found out about the two during my lunch break and endless search for freebies =)

Thanks for the info!

I was searching for the same last day. But could not find the site.

Thankyou.

Lol, info, good one. I haven't heard of .info before, but it seems cool. The only drawback I have to it is that .info sounds kinda gay. I think dyndns.org offers free subdomain type things, and I liked those better. Mine is currently disorderofsanity.kicks-ass.org Oh yeah, if anyone knows how, or if it is possible, to host that site here, please PM me or something. Thanks.

Well, all your new domains will be set to "Automatic Renew" next year.

Be known about it. I had to disable the auto renew feature. Otherwise all your money will be gone next year same day. :P

You dont get something for nothing on the internet.

[traiannam]

but you can't do anything with your domain , because there no forwardign or change dns without money

[mck9235]

I was going to register but I was thrown off by the credit card thing, :cry:

[Random]

I only wish i had a credit card number so i can get one :-\

[shrimp134]

I think there should be a place on the internet where kids...15 and up...should be able to get a domain name without a stupid CC.....takes away so much potential......

[Akallen]

Ummm.... I got mine without a credit card number

oooo, sorry for not explaining. Domaindiscount24.com was recently(september) giving out free .info domains, thats how i got mine. They said they would not charge you, so Instead of puting in a phony credit-card number(hehe *evil*) I selected wire transfer, they gave me all the info and stuff. And I didn't do anything and they okayed everything (you know the "Whois") and the domain was activated!

Hoped it helped...

[alphonse]

[asgsoft]

[threefourtwo]

hi guys..
have to admit im very new to this website/domain thinggy.. anyway, got myself a domain at www.mydomain.com but i cant get the url forwarding thing to work.. as in i cant see an option to add that service.. have anyone encountered this problem before or have any other alternatives to how to forward that domain to another website.. thx

[Loser]

You've got to change the nameservers to HM's. Ask for an admin to help.

[threefourtwo]

Thanks Loser..
Anyway, can an admin tell me what should the nameserver be ?

[Loser]

If you already applied to the free hosting, the nameservers should come within the PM. At least they did for me.

[threefourtwo]

hi.. after putting the name server to the one i got in the PM from the admin.. what should i do next ?

[Loser]

It takes at least 48 hours for the nameserver to change, so I think you don't need to do anything else.

[threefourtwo]

errr.. have done that like 3 days ago and still nothing.. the domain name is www.i342.info | Just cant seem to make it point to my current website at 342.hostmatrix.org

[Loser]

Then you should probably PM an admin - I can't help you with this problem...

[truongan]

But one of registeration process is to request for your detailed information. After one (free) year, if you forget to cancel the contract with domain provider, they will automatically charge money in your credit card. Furthermore, they will sell your information (homeaddress, fone number, email, credit card info to different companies for advertising traps. In life, nothing for free!

[Soldier00]

i think u have to have credits for pointing to ur .info account i had that problem but with .org domain

[Summ]

I know a site where you can get it without a credit card, I just didn't do it because of the personal info they ask for. I wouldn't care if it was private, but any private information you register a domain with is completely public for anyone to see. It's so unsafe, I don't know why it's like that, only the domain register should need to know, not the whole world.

One of those do offer to hide your info, at a crappy $9 a year. There goes the "free" part.

[rmdort]

U can get a .info domain from http://1dni.com

mail to support@1dni.com for a free RIN number which will replace the CC number. They will mail u the RIN number.

So intead of the CC number put in the RIN number.. Its easy.. ANy questions PM me or email me rmdort@gmail.com

[Soldier00]

yeah thx rmdort, and summ what is the link for that site that you are talking about?

[Magicalneo]

those without credict card number , u just need to input a rin number to replace it and u can get it for free , if u want a tut I can get it for u guys and post it here if u guys wish ^^

[mck9235]

Yea, the rmdort guy showed us thats pretty neat, does RIN stand for anything?

[rmdort]

Registration Information Number.. i think so.. :lol: .. i aint sure..
