How to Get a Free Domain Name from Forum Promotion! 4,000 FP

Re: How to Get a Free Domain Name from Forum Promotion! 5,00

electroman you will be able to have full control and ownership of it when the two months is up and you request for it to be transferred to your account.
 
Re: How to Get a Free Domain Name from Forum Promotion! 5,00

I'm going to look like a total noob, but I have a few questions about this (and for those of you wondering, I did read all 13 pages of this topic). However, I think one of the questions may have been answered before.

1. Does the full year start during the 2 month transfer or after? (I believe this was answered earlier but can't seem to find the question now.)

2. Is the Top Level Domain only offered to forums or could you purchase a TLD with FP that doesn't go to a forum?

3. I probably wouldn't do it, but would it be illegal to purchase a domain with .ipbfree.com in it? I'm just asking because I know we had several redirect links to there on several google pages among countless other sites before they went down. The link no longer goes to anywhere, so I'm guessing it might be legal. However, after everything that went down with ipbfree I'm guessing it might be illegal and could possibly cost you your forum. Any thoughts on this?

4. Does anyone know the exact price of purchasing a domain from the domain host (or whatever they'd be called) after the year expires?

Incase you haven't figured it out by now, I'm trying for a TLD. I have a ways to go, but I'm sure I'll make it... eventually. Thank you guys so much for giving each of us the opportunity to own a top level domain!

Thanks for your questions Roger_Klotz.
Does the full year start during the 2 month transfer or after?
The 12 months registration starts from the date the domain is registered, i.e. when the two months are up and the domain is transferred to you, you will have 10 months left on it. However, you can use the domain for your site during those first 2 months so in total you have it for 12 months.

2. Is the Top Level Domain only offered to forums or could you purchase a TLD with FP that doesn't go to a forum?
We really only want to give domains to people who want to publish websites on them. However, the website doesn't necessarily have to be a forum.

3. I don't know the history behind ipbfree.com so honestly I can't really comment. However, we won't knowingly provide domains to our members that are in any way illegal and that would include domains that breach someone else's Trademark.

4. The domains are registered through Namecheap and you can view their prices on their site at http://www.namecheap.com/domains/domain-pricing.aspx

Thanks for the quick response, Fergal.

Just for the record, I wasn't planning on using something.ipbfree.com anyways. I wouldn't put you guys in a spot like that, just wanted a confirmation.

Fancy getting getting a real professional Top Level Domain (.com .org .net)? Exchange FP cash for a domain of your choice.

Price: 5,000 FP Cash
.info Domains 2,000 FP
Notes: This free domain name offer is for those who wish to set up their own forum or website. We will not provide free domain names to people who wish to resell or park those domains.

Free domain names will be registered with NameCheap. You can begin to use your free domain name immediately. However, registrars require a 2 month wait after registration, before a new domain name can be transferred to a different account. Hence, you must wait at least two months before the domain can be transferred to your own personal account. The cost for transferring the domain to your account is 150 FP.

This offer is restricted to one domain name per member, every three months.

To claim a domain, please earn the required cash and send a PM to Fergal. Please include;

  1. The domain you wish to register (it must not already be taken)
  2. A brief description of the site you will publish on the domain.
  3. The nameservers that you would like set for your domain name (if you don't know what these are, please ask your host). Further changes to your nameservers will cost 200 FP per change. Obviously you will not have to pay for these changes, once the domain has been transferred to your account.

Please note that this is a free service and is provided without guarantee or warranty of any kind. We reserve the right to refuse any domain name request and we will not provide free domain names for warez, hate, adult or illegal sites.

Pushing Domains to Your NameCheap Account
We can only push domains to your NameCheap Account if you allow those permissions on your account. You can do that at:
NameCheap > My Account . Manage Profiles > Push Settings > then check the box for "Allow All (No Authorization code required. Anyone can push their domains to your account)"

Ok, though I don't have enough cash, yet, I was wondering, when you said people who want to set up their own websites or something like that, does that mean that we can't set the domain for a site that's already been around that's ours?

Or can we?

Jedi Penguin yes you would be more than welcome to use the domain for a site you have already set up, e.g. one that's on a sub-domain. The spirit of that rule is really to prevent this offer being used for parked domains or by members who want to buy domains to resell them for a profit.
 
Re: How to Get a Free Domain Name from Forum Promotion! 5,00

This looks like a really cool, service but I currently get my domains for free from Empire Hostings when I purchase hosting.

Not at this time. The FP cost reduction is only for .com, .net, .org, etc TLDs.
 
Re: How to Get a Free Domain Name from Forum Promotion! 4,00

Wow! SUCH A DEAL!
This is probably the best offer I have ever seen, thanks Fergal!
 
Re: How to Get a Free Domain Name from Forum Promotion! 4,00

Thanks Darthmaul, delighted to hear you like it so much.
 
Re: How to Get a Free Domain Name from Forum Promotion! 4,00

I have sent you a PM Fergal. 🙂

This is a great offer everyone. If you need a domain for your website you should definitely consider this.
 
Re: How to Get a Free Domain Name from Forum Promotion! 4,00

I am considering this now. Awesome offer.
 
Re: How to Get a Free Domain Name from Forum Promotion! 4,00

Yes its really a great offer..!!
 
Re: How to Get a Free Domain Name from Forum Promotion! 4,00

Hmm , I could use this. It seems to be worth it for a free domain name.
 
Re: How to Get a Free Domain Name from Forum Promotion! 4,00

Just to let you know Fergal, you don't have to wait 2 months to transfer a domain to another NameCheap user. That rule only applies if you are transferring a domain name to another domain registrar. You can transfer domain(s) to another NameCheap user instantly after purchasing. 🙂

I'll consider this too, it's something I will definitely be interested in in the very near future.
