|---|---|

| Shared domains | About 23,000 to pick from |
| Also hosts | Your own domain's DNS |
| Premium | $5/month for more subdomains and wildcards |
Shared domains belong to other people, who can pull them, so don't build anything important on one.

Duck DNS, is-a.dev, JS.org. Compare their limits on this page or open each one for details.
Free dynamic DNS
Free yourname.duckdns.org hostnames that follow your home IP address.
The catch: It's built for pointing at a home server's IP, not for a polished public brand.
Free dev subdomain
Claim yourname.is-a.dev by opening a pull request on GitHub.
The catch: Root names must relate to software development and maintainers reject AI-written or sloppy requests.
Free JS subdomain
A free yourproject.js.org name for JavaScript projects hosted on GitHub Pages.
The catch: Only for sites with real content clearly connected to JavaScript.
Free domain registry
A volunteer-run registry handing out free yourname.eu.org names since 1996.
The catch: Requests are checked by hand, so approval can take a long time, and small commercial sites are discouraged.
Free domain
A free Ukrainian second-level name, yourname.pp.ua, activated by phone SMS.
The catch: Your name and contact details are always public in WHOIS, and every renewal needs the same phone number.
Free domain registry
An open-source project giving out free names under .us.kg, .dpdns.org, .qzz.io, .xx.kg and .qd.je.
The catch: It's a free community project with no uptime promise, and its old Telegram channel was hijacked, so only trust the GitHub repo and dashboard.
