Search Domain Names For Sale

It has been correctly pointed out to me that there are indeed free domain names to be had. The way to this is to use a host where you can have subdomains. If you sell widgets, you can create subdomains such as bluewidgets.yourdomain.com, redwidgets.yourdomain.com, polkadotwidgets.yourdomain.com, or even nakedwidgets.yourdomain.com. On all of the hosts I have ever used these subdomains will show as subdirectories, yourdomain.com/redwidgets/(index.html) etc. Carrying this a little further, you could have several totally unrelated domains under yourdomain.com. /Widgets, /gumballs, /carparts, and /wargames. So there are indeed free domains to be had, limited only by the names already in use. Can you have subdomains under subdomains? Dunno, never tried. You try and let me know, k?

An upside to all this is that subdomains are considered individual domains by the search engines. Gumballs.yourdomain.com and wargames.yourdomain.com can each have their own keywords and will be indexed independently of each other. With some planning and thought, this is a way to have one of those million dollar domain names such as sex.yourdomain.com. It's already being done and works to varying degrees. Something like yahoo.yourdomain.com is treading on copyright infringement and not recommended. And I've heard that those m i c r o s . . . lawyers are the absolute pits!

Another upside is that the cost of all these subdomains is zero after the cost of your original domain. You only have to have a webhost that supports subdomains, the more the merrier. A webhost that allows only 2 subdomains isn't going to help you very much.

But, please realize that there are no longer any free top level .com, .net, or .org domain name deals out there. Many hosting companies will give you a 'free' (top level) domain name tied to a hosting package, usually $35 a year, provided of course that your chosen name is still available. I personally have had more trouble with these package deals than I could swear at, especially come time to sell the domain or transfer registrars. I now prefer to buy a domain name for as cheap as I can with a reliable registrar, I like GoDaddy.com, and then buy hosting as cheap as I can with a reliable hosting company. The arteries have benefitted much. Hope this helps someone. Webmaster Bill

 Active Domain.com - Registration is as low as $8.50 per year. They offer your own account manager, free parking with an 'Under Construction' page, up to 250 free email forwarding addresses and sub-domains (www.mail.yourname.com), redirect them to any other email address. A free email catch-all account. Your choice of free cloaked or uncloaked redirection, and free ownership transfer. The site is easy to navigate and has several great how-to pages as well as a searchable 'expired domains' section and a list of 'suspended' (available) names. Lots of bells and whistles here!
