Sites selling 'free .tk domains' today are not Freenom; avoid them.
No. New registrations stopped March 2023; ICANN ended its accreditation Nov 2023; Freenom left the domain business Feb 2024 and most of its free domains stopped working.
Free options in the same lane include FreeDNS (afraid.org), Duck DNS, is-a.dev. Each has its limits and catch listed on its page.
Free DNS + subdomains
A veteran free DNS host with thousands of shared domains you can take a subdomain on.
The catch: Shared domains belong to other people, who can pull them, so don't build anything important on one.
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.
