How and Where to Get a Free Domain

A free domain is a great opportunity to launch a website without extra costs. It’s suitable for testing ideas, temporary or educational projects, and for starting small business pages. In this article, we have collected a list of reliable sources for free domains and explain how to connect them to Hotlist.biz.

1. Free Domains in Ukraine

  • PP.UA — one of the most popular options. Free registration is often available for 1 year for personal or non-commercial websites. Example: mysite.pp.ua.
  • IN.UA — periodically provided for free as part of promotions by some registrars.
  • LVIV.UA, CK.UA, RV.UA — regional domain zones, sometimes offered for free.

2. Free International Domains

Some zones allow registering free second-level domains, and many services provide third-level subdomains:

  • .TK — Tokelau.
  • .ML — Mali.
  • .GA — Gabon.
  • .CF — Central African Republic.
  • .GQ — Equatorial Guinea.
  • .GITHUB.IO — for GitHub Pages projects.

3. Services Offering Free Domains

  • Freenom.com — the largest service for registering .TK, .ML, .GA, .CF, .GQ domains.
  • Dot.tk — a dedicated portal for .TK domains.
  • Reg.ua — promotions for PP.UA, IN.UA, and regional zones.

4. How to Connect a Free Domain to Hotlist.biz

  1. Register a domain with any service from the list above.
  2. In the domain management panel, set the DNS servers:
    ns1.hotlist.biz
    ns2.hotlist.biz
  3. After saving DNS changes, submit a request via the feedback form to connect the domain.
  4. Wait 1–24 hours for DNS records to update.
  5. When your website starts opening under the new domain, submit the request again via the form to complete the connection.

Tip:

If you plan a serious commercial project, it’s better to purchase a second-level domain (.com, .ua, .net, etc.) — this will increase trust and improve SEO.
