243745 2004-06-12 07:17:00 Hi, I was wondering if there is any way I can get a free domain name? If so what are the downsides, if any. Also it is for a petition being hosted at petitiononline.com .
Thanks!

243746 2004-06-12 07:22:00 You could go to Short URL and get one that redirects to an Orcon free web site.

www.orcon.net.nz

243747 2004-06-12 07:29:00 yes, there is a way to get a free one (and isn't a subdomain)

have a look here (http://www.dot.tk). All you do is put in your existing domain (ie: your IP address if hosting locally) and it's done. it will re-direct to your page. the downside is 1 popup on the index page.

eg: ilikelinux.geek.nz is my normal website, and it's mask is http://www.edward1.tk

243748 2004-06-12 07:30:00 Would I be able to say post it in a forum or tell someone it and they type it in the address line it will redirect them to the site? Tribomb (5547)
243749 2004-06-12 07:31:00 Ok, I will do that, so a pop up ad will come up? I dont really mind, thanks for that :D Tribomb (5547)

243751 2004-06-12 07:42:00 Yes - if you have set it up to do so. Ie. set the domain to redirect to where your thing his hosted. somebody (208)
243752 2004-06-12 08:04:00 This is also like dot.tk :

http://www.no-ip.com (this is what I use)
