How to Get a free domain with Freenom and Cloudflare?

 

Freenom is a domain registrar that provides unlimited free domains that last for one year. The only limit is that you can only get domains ending in .tk, .ml, .ga, .cf, or .gq.

In this post, I’ll show you how to register a domain at Freenom step-by-step. Then I’ll show you how to replace Freenom’s default nameservers (which are pretty bad) with Cloudflare’s to have better control of your domains.

Register domain at Freenom:

Step 1: Go to https://www.freenom.com and get yourself an account.

Step 2: Go to the homepage. Type the domain you would like to register in the Find a new FREE domain field. Then click Check Availability.

Step 9: Go back to Cloudflare, click Done, check nameservers. It will take a while, so please be patient.

Step 10: Enjoy your free domain!

Final Thoughts

These domains are not suitable for professional usage, but if you can’t afford to buy a domain or just want to find one to test your project, Freenom + Cloudflare is a perfect choice. Personally, I use it for a lot of my projects.
