After reading about information and the features provided by it , you might be interested to get your own free.com domain. So now I am going to show you how to get your .com domain for free. Let’s begin the process.
Easy way to get Free .com Domain name registration for 1 year:
- At first you need to Go to Wisconsin homepage via this link and there you need to click on GET YOUR FREE WEBSITE button.
- Now you need to Sign up for your free Intuit website. Then you will get following screen.
- If you have Google account then you can sign in with it else sign up for a Google account and then sign in with that account.
- Allow access to it and then click on Continue button.
- Next you need to you intuit websites password. Fill the details and accept term and conditions and click on continue button.
- Then you will be redirected to Intuit Website to register a free .com domain name. Click continue as shown in the above screenshot. Then you will get the following screen.
Since you are registering a new domain name so , make sure that the domain name you are going to register is available. You can do this by entering your desired domain name under “Get a New Domain” and clicking on Check Availability button. If it is available then you will be presented with following screen.
Now all you need to do it click on Get Domain button. Then you will be asked to enter your contact information as shown in the belwo screenshot.
Enter your contact information and click on Save & Continue button. Then you will be ask to review your information. Review it , agree to the terms of service and click on submit button. Note : You must uncheck the Yes (Recommended) option for domain privacy because if you check it you have to pay $1 per month.
As soon as you submit it for review you will get a pop up page asking for your Billing Information. They are asking this to protect against fraudulent activities. Though your website and .com domain name are free but they still need your billing information. Enter your address details and debit/credit card information in this page. Now the real problem comes. Many of us don’t have a real debit/credit card, so to solve this problem you need to create a virtual visa credit card. You can create a virtual visa from Entropay.com. Note : You can also use other websites to create virtual visa. If you don’t want to create virtual visa then use the following virtual visa details to fill the payment options and you will be able to purchase your domain for free.
- Name on card : Jackie Chan
- Card type : Visa
- Credit card number : 4067424695632061
- Expiration date : 12-2012
- Card security number : 279
Now just enter your virtual visa details in the payment page and click on purchase button. Now you have successfully created your website with a free .com domain name registration. It may take an hour to activate. After it is activated, you can use their website builder to create a new website or just change the name servers by going in the domain manager to use with other webhost.

Google and Hostgator have the exactly same offer known as “India get business online” which can be found at http://www.indiagetonline.in and gives a .in domain name instead of .com.
Check it out.
Using this Jackie chan one is legal?
@ chintak, using that name is legal. Its just a virtual card. Anyway if you dont want to use it then you can head over entropay.com for a new account.
Is this free domain and hosting services supports the CMS scripts like Wordpress.
No it doesnot support to install wordpress.
Using Jackie chan one is legal kindly reply ?
No it is not. If you want some legal stuff please pay 10$ and buy a dot com domain
Google definitely knows that it has no chance in China with strict laws out there and India is an important destination for future. So above mentioned is one of the attempts Google is making to make Indians get use to more of the internet and create some useful content. This will only help drive money to Google in the form of ads in the future. Its a win win situation for all involved.
Good article.. but you have forgotten to mention the most important point. It would cost $4.99 for renewal of the domain(shown in the screenshot). I guess when it comes to TLDs, there are no free lunches.
great tut man…i will create an account right away. another question is… is dat websitebuilder provided by google and how can we use a cms for our domain? i kno u hav told wordpress is not supported but can we use other cms such as drupal and joomla?
