Free Third Level Domain Name Roundup

The old ML.org started something incredible. They we gave the common netizen identity on the Internet -- they gave people free domain names.

Keep on reading to see what free third level domain names you can get now,... now that ML.org is gone.

Gone since about December 1998, when ML.org was around, it gave the common netizen something that, previously, was only attainable by those who could afford a web server: an identity on the Internet, their own name in cyberspace, a free domain name.

But not only that. ML.org made it so that average person, connecting to the Internet over a phone line, could beat the technical limitation that would normally prevent them from being able to use their own domain name for their home computer.

Many found it a sad day when ML.org packed up. But fear not, for many others have picked up and rekindled the torch that ML.org could no longer carry. Many others are offering the same service ML.org once did. He's the list I've collected. (In alphabetical order.)

• DHS - They offer you free domain names under the dhs.org name.
• Dynamic DNS Network Services - They offer you free domain names under the dyndns.org name.
• EU.org - They offer you free domain names under the eu.org name.
• eyeP.net - They offer you free domain names under the eyep.net name.
• FDNS.NET - They offer you free domain names under the fdns.net name.
• Jaze Web Design's Free Redirect Services - They offer you free domain names under the isCool.net, areCool.net, isFun.net, areFun.net, isAwesome.net, areAwesome.net, and tux.nu names.

(Just as a note, I keep a list of free domain name here.)

Side Note:
Now, with many people getting Cable Modems and the various DSL connection (what many are inaccurately called Broadband) some of the services these places are offering (to over come the technical limitations of connecting to the Internet over the phone) may be less useful. However, there will always be a place for free domain.
