Title: (maybe in the wrong forum) Is there a way to get a legal free .net or .com?
Post by: tombom on February 19, 2009, 02:50:34 PM

So, I have seen www.ezyrewards.com and www.domainlagoon.com but..... are those legal?  Will they mail me things?  (I can't have junk mailed to me... I live with my parents.)  I want to know, if I can get a legal one.  Any help here?

Well, really, it's not whether it's legal or not.
If it's too good to be true, then it usually is.

Both of the sites you mentioned have a yellow privicy rating from MyWOT.

IN other words, I would probably get the domain, but get spammed.  Right?

For free domain name hosting, no.

But, for free subdomain hosting, try....
http://www.110mb.com
http://www.zymic.com

Seems to be alright. It's not acutally free "domain" hosting though.
The web address would be http://yoursite.co.cc/.
