Upto 10 Free .be extension domain names

  • I managed to get one for free without putting any credit card details in. I just searched for a domain name i wanted (using the search on the main page) ticked the .be one that came up and added to basket and when you view your basket it should say:

    setup fee -20.00 annual fee 20.00 total fees 0.00.

    Then i just clicked Proceed to checkout and it worked. I noticed on the main pricing page it only says setup fee -16.00 so if you are following that link maybe that it why it is charging 4 euros. I would try the front page search and see if its makes any difference. Hope this helps.

  • the thing about .be domains is that you cant use them on some free hosts like jamroll. although it is a tld (top level domain), because you can get them for free without credit/debit card details at some sites, the identity of the owner cannot be verified. it's good if you want a hosting account with the company you bought it from, but if you have to pay money to get the domain in the first place, you're better off buying a .com or .co.uk which is the same price.

    Yep, that's exactly what I did, managed to get 30 doing this, (3 in our household).

    Free for me aswell :D

    One thing worth pointing out though, its not really that good becuase you get the address free for 1 year, but then its 20euros (£14ish) a year, you can register .co.uk and .com names for a lot less than this. So if your sites gonna be around more than a year its probably not worth doing.

    If you want a free domain for life theres always https://www.dot.tk which gives you a free https://www.yourname.tk address, however it displays a pop up when you first enter the address into your browser.

    https://www.dot.tk domains expire if your site does not receive enough hits within 60 days - it happened to mine. The best and shortest free domain I've found so far is https://www.yourname.uni.cc which comes with a nice little sitebuilder (simple but really nifty with flash headings etc) which you can get hold of at https://www.uni.cc plus I think you can use JamRoll with this package as well.
