    I want a domain name, but I don't want to pay anything. Googling it did nothing, it brought up every single one that makes you pay, but not a single free hosting site. Does anyone know of one?

    Thanks for answers.

    I just tried them, I have a problem.

    When I try to enter my "website URL," it tells me that it is not valid. Well of COURSE it's not valid, I'm registering it. How do I fix that?

    that is only a domain. you need webspace from somewhere else.

    I think loony's one is more like what you want though. Just register something on blogspot/webs and toss the url in?

    Webs hosts the website ITSELF, not the domain name.

    Yeah, you need a website prior to going to Dot TK. After that, it'll work just fine.

    Domain name =/= hosting.

    A domain name is useless without somewhere to host your data. Some sites do free hosting on a subdomain (like blogspot), but very few do free domain names.
