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 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.
