    Did a search and didn't find anything current. Looking for a free website builder with free domain.
    Used to use LYCOS Tripod, but this service is no longer available...is there still anything out there that's free.....i.e. not you build your website, and when you want a domain/published there seems to be a hook that you have to pay....so is there still any that will give you both for free...........
    :wave

    The thing is domains are a marketable product that cost money to the people selling them. Thus the only time you are likely to get one for free is if you pay for it by another means i.e. long hosting contract with no get-out.

    Depending on your location you might be able to get one cheaply. .co.uk (or other countries) tend to be fairly cheap, as do the sparsely-used ones like .me or .info

    Ones like .com are very expensive however and ones close to the names of major companies (like cocacoola.com or gooogle.com) will be the most expensive.

    I personally have a currently unused domain of collinsl.co.uk which cost me £1.50 for 2 years (in 2008) but the renewal price has never been over £1/year.

    As I said "Free root domain? Not in this lifetime." He wanted free hosting and domains are often included but not root.
