Google and HostGator have collaborated with a few Indian companies to start giving away one year of free hosting and domain name to help local businesses create a online presence. I was going through their FAQ section. And it seems there is no strings attached. The domain will be registered to your name and they will provide the option to edit DNS record after one year. Or you can transfer your domain to any other domain registration service after initial 60 days. And after one year if you want to move your hosting to any other web hosting company instead of paying them, that is also possible. If you want to grab a .in cctld and free hosting just go to this site www.indiagetonline.in and register. You will need to add your PAN card copy as a proof that you reside in India.

So in that case there is no worry to purchase WhoisGuard subscription separately. But when you do a domain renewal with them, you are not going to get any extension for your WhoisGuard. If you want to renew a single WhoisGuard subscription it will normally cost you $2.88 per year. But there’s a long running coupon code WGSPECIAL that reduces the price to only 99 cent. In case, you are purchasing WhoisGuard subscription separately, you can use this same coupon code for your new purchase. Moreover, this coupon code also works for WhoisGuard Dual Pack and 5 Pack. So just go to NameCheap.com account and buy one to hide your personal information from Whois public database :)

And you can secure your first .free domain name free of charge as part of the pre-registration process. It is open for free pre-registration for quite a while now and already more than 80,000 domain names have been registered. I heard about it sometime ago, but couldn’t gather enough enthusiasm to register a domain name with them :) . I thought good domain names would have been already registered. And besides I was somewhat skeptical about the whole thing and perhaps still am. It is a initiative started by a Czech-startup company dotFree Group and still needed ICANN approval. But today while I was searching I saw some really cool domain names still available. And I registered hosting.free domain name with them.

So you may want to search for a cool domain name in their database. There is no harm in pre-registering and then see how it goes. Anyways, it is not bad to have a top level domain name that is free literally ;)

And this free service does include free DNS set up. So you don’t have to think about side effects of only url redirection in search engine optimization. Just register and use a .co.tv free domain as any other normal domain. The domain name is catchy, isn’t it :)

But again I have to remind you that like other free domains this service may change and you have to pay for your domain later. Just go through their TOS. You have to abide by some rules including some content restrictions. Otherwise you might loose your domain.

But as the domain sounds pretty cool, it can be a pretty good alternative especially if you have missed a .tv domain for your video site. And when it is free, you can always take a chance ;)

So I was looking for a way to map each url of my old domain to the new one. Obviously there is a way to do it in .htaccess file. And like most of the hosting companies my host DreamHost does support Apache mod-rewrite to use .htaccess. But I heard that Namecheap provides 301 redirect if you transfer DNS to them. And you can do it in UI with just a few clicks and without modifying any code by hand. So I used to it. But that 301 redirect will only redirect any url of the old domain to the new domain’s home page. So all my blog post urls or About page or any any other url of the old domain were getting redirected to the blog home page. I contacted their support in live chat. But they were unable to provide any solution.

So I transferred back my old domain to my hosting company NameServer. I modified the code in .htaccess file. And url to url mapping from old domain to the new one started working perfectly :)

It would normally cost you $49.95. And moreover you will get a huge discount when you renew your SSL certificate for the second year. It will only cost you $9.95. But do you really need an SSL certificate?

As a new blogger or a webmaster, you will think why not get this free SSL certificate and present my site as more professional and secure. But if you are new, there is every chance that you are missing a most important point. You cannot install your SSL certificate on shared ip. You need a dedicated ip to do that. That means you either need a dedicated hosting or a shared hosting with a unique ip address. Dedicated hosting will cost lot more than normal shared hosting that you usually use. And if you buy unique ip address for your shared hosting, you have to pay $2 or more extra monthly depending on your hosting company.

I am not discouraging you to use SSL certificate. But frankly speaking, you can live without it if you just have a blog or normal website. SSL certificate is a must have for a site that does monetary transaction with the users. Otherwise you can’t get the customer trust. I won’t buy anything from an online seller if it is not verified by a trusted SSL certificate provider like Comodo or Verisign.

So, just don’t think that you will get a free PositiveSSL certificate and install it for your blog. And you will be a proud owner of a secure server for free. It’s not as simple as that.

But even if you can’t make use of Namecheap’s free SSL certificate offer, I would still recommend you to use NameCheap for buying domain. I am in love with their user interface. You just can’t find a better one ;)

Using it you can buy .com, .org or .net domain name with just $1. And unlike GoDaddy coupon code for $1 domain name registration, you don’t have to pay by credit card. You can use Paypal to make your payment.  So when you register any of the above tlds from NetFirms, just enter this coupon code “DOLLARDOMAIN”. Grab the opportunity as most of you know NetFirms is as trustworthy name as GoDaddy or NameCheap itself :)

That’s true. You can now call .tk a real free top level domain as it has started giving away free dns  service. The domain forwarding service that redirects .tk url to your current sub-domain is still there. But it’s bad for SEO. But recently they have added free dns service option to it. That means if you want you can use your existing Name Servers to point them to your domain or you can use free dns service from Dot TK to point your own ip address to your new .tk domain.

So you don’t have to use frames now and your content will be properly mapped with your domain urls. And will be shown properly in search engines for all of your different pages giving you normal SEO benefits.

And the latest news is that, ICANN has extened the deadline for switching off .yu domains to another 6 months, till 30 March 2010. But it will annnounce some conditions subsequently. And if that conditions are acceptable, then Register of the Serbian National Internet Domain (RNIDS) will make a decision on the switching off the remaining 4000 .yu domain sites.
