Step 1
Get a free domain by purchasing additional package. Do a quick search for free domains online and you'll find a list of sites offering free domains. Included in the list would be web companies promising a free domain when you purchase a different package from them, such as web design or hosting. Yahoo! Small Business offers a free domain when you sign up for a full web site. Homestead gives you a free domain when you purchase a web design package. Network Solutions throws in a free domain when you sign up for a year of hosting.

Step 2
Win a free domain name by signing up for a service, such as an RSS feed or monthly newsletter, or in exchange for your contact information. DomainsNow4U puts your name in a monthly drawing to possibly win a free domain name renewal. For a limited time, you can win a free domain through Name Cheap by signing up for Twitter.

Step 3
Signing up for a free second- or third-level domain name or long website address through sites like Apee, Hosting Ladder and 100 Web Space. Your second- or third-level domain is placed beneath a top-level domain in the form: http://your-name-here.firstleveldomain.com. You would share the primary domain with other website owners and own a somewhat long domain that is difficult to remember.

Step 5
Register a free unpopular domain name, such as .name, .info., co.cc, cc.cc. and .ws. You might even find names that are difficult (if not impossible) to register as .com or .net this way, free-of-charge. Conduct an online search to find free registrars, such as: cc.cc (which gives you up to two free domain names with the domain extensions, cc.cc or cc.co), free-domains.us (which offers free .name domain extensions) and hostindex.com (which lets you register free .info domain extensions).
