Question Can I get a FREE .com address?

Hey guys, i've been looking around on the internet for ways to get a free .com address and although i've found some cheap deals nothing for free.

Is there a way to get a free .com address?

Thanks,
-Ben

Look for affiliate packages.

My advice is buy a cheap one with say godaddy.com and then setup google adsense so you can gain the cash back and maybe some extra for your pocket.

What are you trying to do? If you are looking to host a website, you can find some web hosts that will offer package deals - including free .com domain names.

I asked around, and one such example is "Big Blue Host" (find them yourself, I'm not doing all of the work for you). I have never used them personally, so I won't offer any testimonials as to how good (or otherwise) they are, but their current deal includes a free .com domain name if you follow the right instructions.

Keep in mind that package deals for free URLs such as .com.au and .co.uk will be harder to find.

All I need is one page for a flash animation. At the end of the animation links appear to different websites.
Don't need anything too fancy and I don't need any extras like a company email address or additional features included (eg. a chat room.)

If all you need is the domain name, then I suggest you consider the few dollars per month for it - or consider alternatives (such as .co.nr or .tk).

Outside of packaged hosting, I have not seen any readily available method of getting free domain names.
