I have signed up for a few free sites through Micro$oft Office Live. They are giving away free domains and domain names(forever as far as I can tell from the lengthy user agreement). Now here is the catch- for the free service, they give you some basic templates as well as no feasible way to add your own code and you must utilize their online site builder. This is not great, but the free domain name is.

Here is what I did, I signed up for www.tennesseevideography.com and deleted everything I could and added a "if you are not redirected in such and such time, click here" and then I list my main domain name as a link. I also made an animated gif for this that shows a progress bar. Now, there is no feasible way to add your own redirect code, but if someone waits for a few seconds and is not redirected they should (I would) click on the link.

Anyways, it is a free site with a free domain. They will ask you for a credit card and you will get an email thanking you for purchasing the domain, but in actuality you did not purchase anything, it is just to ensure that spammers do not take up all the domain names and domains.

Also, if you want, feel free to utilize the animated gif on my redirect site (www.tennesseevideography.com) It is a progress bar with green dots.

Edit: Here is the link to where they are offereing this: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/officelive/default.aspx

Cool tip J Razz! And you don't get a sub domain? You actually get the whole domain name free? That's good to know! Big Grin
