Note:Unfortunately, reports are that the offer is over now.

Today, while attempting to reach my daily stumbling goal for the day, I found this site. The website claimed GoDaddy.com ™ was running a promotional campaign and giving away free 1 year domain registrations. I nearly just kept stumbling, just assuming it was a scam or you would need to do all kinds of things in order to receive it. Maybe I was feeling especially sassy, or maybe I just hoped it was true, nevertheless, I followed the instructions (signing up for a mailing list, I used a special email account for such things), and here I sit 5 minutes later with my free 1 year domain registration.

Before going any further, I would like to say I am not in any way affiliated nor am I receiving compensation from GoDaddy or any sites or companies noted in this article.

What To Do

• Go to the promotional site
• Fill in your name and email (I promise it takes less than 10 seconds), yes you will receive “special offers”. Just use a dummy or seperate email account
• Click the link in your email, this will give you a code to enter. Note the code.
• Follow the link (or go manually) to GoDaddy.com. Search for and choose your domain of choice, choose 1 year registration, enter your coupon code at checkout, and enjoy your new domain name!

Yes, it really works, as I said, it took me about 5 minutes to get a free domain. Why not get yourself one? You dont have to pay for hosting from GoDaddy, just find a free host if you just want it for fun or use your host of choice.

Since the offer is now over, be sure to check out this nice domain search tool from web hosting search to find the perfect domain for your new site!
