How do I register my domain online without paying anyone?

Question

I do not need web hosting or building or any of the other services that are offered. I already know how to do all of that. I just need to register my domain so that it can be visited. How do I? Please help I do not want to pay for it.

Answer 1

Sorry! you can't do that. As you may know a domain name is just a name, not a real website. If you are going to create your website: 1- Buy a domain name. 2- Buy a web hosting service to provide your online space and enable you to get your website online at your purchased domain name.

If you want to start your website I recommend purchase your domain and hosting together. In this way it is possible to get your domain for free. Some hosting services offer this gift today.

One of these services is reachable at: http://bluehost-service.atspace.com . Their service is really great and easy to use. This company offers "Free Site Builder" that helps you build your web pages without difficulty if you are not skilled in using any website creating program. (WYSIWYG: What You See Is What You Get).

Answer 2

You don't - ICANN charges for domain names and, regardless of where you order one, it's ICANN that gives it to you.  (You can get it for free, but that means that someone else is paying ICANN for you.  Microsoft will give you a free domain name [for 6 months or a year or something like that] - they pay for it.  After that, you pay for it.

If you can't afford $6/year (that's about what it costs), consider using a free dynamic IP service like No-IP or DynDNS.  (I'm assuming that you're hosting the site yourself.)
