Does anyone know of a place to get a free domain name?

You cannot have a "Domain Name" for free. Though Domain Names were offered free of cost when these were launched for the first time more than a decade ago. Getting a Domain name for free is just not possible. lol....... the only exception is if someone gifts you one. The reason Domain names dont come free are....... "Domain Name" registration is governed by "Internet Corporation For Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANNN) - www.icann.org . ICCAN changes $0.25 as its own charge whenever a new domain name is being purchased. Again, ICCAN has asigned "Registries" who have "Domain Name Registrar's" under them. Domain Name Registrar's are the ones from whom you can register a domain name....... E.g. - Godaddy.com, Register.com, domains.yahoo.com, netsol.com, etc. And, the Registry gets a charge from these Registrar's everytime they sell a Domain Name. As such, there are a lot of Agencies involved while u register a Domain Name.... directly or indirectly. And, its not possible for anyone to provide you with a Domain Name, free of cost.

I've heard that if you go to www.aol.com, you can get one there but I havent actually done it myself.
