How to get a free domain for my website? You can get a domain name for your website by the following steps without paying anything.
Free domain
There are some domain name service providers who are offering a free domain name, but it’s carrying the following names only:
- cf
- tk

It’s also providing a paid domain who ends with .com, .net, etc. And its price is good compared with other domain name providers.
