There was a time when some websites use to offer free top level domains. One of them was namezero.com, through which I registered this domain for the first time six-seven years ago. Then after 1-2 years namezero started charging for it.

A lot of websites still offer sub domains and second/third level domains for free. Most of these so called free domain name services only offer basic features like URL redirection, URL cloaking etc. However, I recently found www.co.cc that offers free domain names (third level domain), with support for MX, A, CNAME and NS records.

If you already have a web hosting, you can setup the free co.cc domain by simply pointing its NS records to your host and you can also use Google apps or Microsoft Live for customized email and instant messaging.

If you are looking for free hosting with cpanel support and dont mind small ad links at the bottom of the page try - Jamroll.net. For paid hosting I personal prefer hostmonster.com. They offer unlimited shared hosting space, unlimited bandwidth, unlimited addon domains with a free domain name. what else can we ask for ????? custom SRV records would be nice….
