Want a free domain?
Well, at first I could not believe it but they did it.
dns.be now provides a .be domain to you for free. The purpose of this is to increase the number of belgian domains on the Internet. OVH is a partner of the operation and provides a 1000Gp for free for any belgian citizen. Well, well, well. Nice! Domains are so hard to find these days (nicoll.net for instance was quite hard to get). I blame the poor guy in search for a .be domain. Edit following a comment: if forgot to mention that it was free for one year. After this period, you have to pay the registration of your domain (around 8€ per year). That said, if you register with OVH the hosting is free at will, provided the domain remains at OVH. This is not specified on their web site but if you browse their forum a bit, you will find the informationWednesday 09 Nov 2005 | Stéphane | General
Unhappily, it’s only free for one year … We can’t book the domain by dns.be, we must choose an agent.
I suspect it is a commercial approach to have more clients.
But I also took a domain …
I noted the difficulty to get the domain wanted.
