Free Domain and URL Forwarding courtesy of Dot.Tk

Today I am writing a tut about how to make a free domain by using dot.tk including use URL forwarding to the site. This time I will discuss the guidelines or how to register a free domain with dot.tk, and I think this dot.tk domain is the best.

I say that because usually when we use the free domain, then our blog will use a sub domain provider, such as "domainname.co.cc". But this time dot.tk provide full service domain, so that later the name of our site to be more succinct like "domainname.tk".

1. Sign on to Dot TK

The main thing of course open dot.tk site, then click "webdomain" in the navigation menu, it will be automatically forwards to the page.


After entry the page, we will choose a domain name we want, with a note that domain name is still available or not used by other people. In this example I create a domain with the name "levan-design", after writing a domain name click Next.


After choosing a domain, dot.tk asking if we choose "Free domain" or "Paid domain". If we choose "Free domain" the domain condition that we make must have a minimum of 25 hits in 90 days, if is not dot.tk will remove your new domain 'yourname.tk " automatically. but I think 25 Hits within 90 days is not too difficult.


2. Manage DNS Server

If we were to choose "Free domain" then dot.tk provide the option "use DNS for this domain" so that we can direct our website or blog on a domain. tk we are. And this is a very interesting new service from dot.tk, denan this way we can direct our nameserver like a paid domain name.


Option 1 : Then enter the name server that has been provided by your web hosting, and in this sample i use 000webhost.com because the site provides free web hosting. 000webhost.com usually use a name server ns02.000webhost.com or ns02.000webhost.com

Or we can choose option 2 is URL forwarding the course much easier to configure, with URL forwarding the original blog or web addresses us directly in the switch to the address "yourname.tk"

On this page we are required to fill a valid email address, because after we Signup we need the activation code to start a new domain we set, then please write back letters that appear in pictures maybe to prove that you are not a robot.

When everything is finished click Next


Manage DNS Server


Next, please fill in name and password


Registration is completed, please open your email for activation

3. Changing DNS Settings

How to change the DNS here is similar to the way that I described above.
