no one gives free. there is bravenet, geocities, but all dont have a personal domain name. I have heard of msn providing one for free provided their ads feature on each of the page.

http://www.yourname.com\n\nhttp:\nThis tells your browser and server to make a connection to the Webspace for displaying HTML\n\nwww - the world wide web subdomain.   \n\nyourname. \nThat is the basic name that you bought.  \n\ncom \nThis is the .com subdomain.  It was first intended to indicate a commercial business.  But everybody seems to buy that.   \n - .org  was intended for non-profit groups\n - .edu is education\n - .mil is military\n - .gov is government\n\n - .uk is United Kingdom\n\n Good luck with all this.

You have to find a "Who Is" list on godaddy, etc. and try to purchase it from the current owner. Unfortunately, there are so many domain pirates out there.

when domain names aren't paid for they go back into the pool to be sold again to whoever buys them. That person can use them for porn, advertising or whatever they want.

you have to buy a domain name, they range from 5 to 500 dollars, you can go to a hosting site, but you won't be able to put your site name in the beggining, it will be the host site, then your site name

You can find out ownership of any domain at http://www.internic.net (click on WHOIS)\n\nThis should give you more information for your research - name of domain owner, operating address, etc.

Use a whois search.  This will provide you with information about the registered owner of any domain (real name, addresss, contact email, phone number, etc).

The idiot above me doesn't understand what a domain is or he was just going for the points. I don't know of anywhere where you can get one for free but you can get one for $1.99 at Godaddy.com

You need to register with a Domain Authoring Agency that is licensed with the government

"Your choice: Put your domain up for sale at its own address or tell the world your site's "coming soon"\n\nSince they register domain names, presumably you can "store" a domain on their servers  until you have the website completed and ready to upload to a host you have leased space from, or, until you sell it  - which they will apparently allow you to use the parked domain as a "domain for sale" site as they say "Put your domain up for sale at its own address".

The hosting company serves and stores your webpages so that people can see if when they access your URL. There are a lot of options out there to choose from. You can ge it for as cheap as 5 dollars a month. You can choose if you want your own domain, so it would be something custom like joesmoeswebsite.com or you can sign up with something free like GeoCities.

There's no way to register a domain name for free -- if you really want to own or control the domain name. \n\nDomain names have become so inexpensive nowadays qirg GoDaddy offering domain names for as low as $8.95 per year https://www.godaddy.com/gdshop/registrar/search.asp?se=%2B&ci=6512 \n\nThis is a very low investment to start your online business - secure your own real estate on the Web with your own paid domain name.

Check eBay 'Domain Names' Category. There are alot of names on there that sold in the $100s and some other rare ones sold in the $1000s. That is the only place I know of. If there are more I don't know of them. Since I do not do stuff like this.\nGood Luck!!!

With Godaddy.com, if you pay an extra couple bucks (and sometimes they have a sale and it'll be free) you can register it privately through domainsbyproxy.com. On the WHOIS information, it will show "domains by proxy". For example, here's my private WHOIS information:\n\n\n  Domains by Proxy, Inc. \n  DomainsByProxy.com \n  15111 N. Hayden Rd., Ste 160, PMB 353 \n  Scottsdale, Arizona 85260 \n  United States \n\n  Registered through: GoDaddy.com, Inc. (http://www.godaddy.com)
