How To Get Free Domain Names

Hello everyone, my name is Belal and I have dedicated this Lens to help users like you get a Free Domain name. I myself was searching around the internet trying to find ways to get a free domain name and every time I thought I found one, I had to purchase a hosting package and then they would give me a free domain name.


I then came across a website which allows you to fill in several surveys and then you could use the points that you received from completing the surveys to get a domain name. Don't worry if you don't like filling in surveys you can still get a free domain by getting referrals or you could use non-TLD (Top Level Domain) domain names which I have listed at the end of this Lens. I will be discussing about two websites that I have used to get a free domain name which are:

1. Get a Free Domain name with Rewards1 (Only users from Australia, Canada, United Kingdom and United States can use this website)

2. Get a Free Domain name with GamingLagoon (All other countries can use this website, however you should still check their Terms of Service just to make sure)

Lets Get Started

First of all you will need to create an account with either Rewards1 which I recommend for users who live in Australia, Canada, United Kingdom or the United States, or create an account with GamingLagoon for other Countries (Please check the Terms of Service to see if your Country is eligible). Remember when you signup give your real information because both the websites have very good Privacy Statements and this will allow you to get your free domain name without any hassle.

Get a Free Domain Name with Rewards1

Rewards1 Offers

Now that you have signed up, sign in with your login details and there after move your cursor on top of the Offers button, then a drop down list will appear and select active offers. Then you will go on to a different page which will let you view several surveys. You will see a search box on that page, near that you will find several check boxes, deselect everything apart from Free.

Now you will see all the free surveys, however you should filter it even more so that you can see the surveys that provide the highest points first. To do that click on the arrow that is next to Points and this will sort the surveys by the most points to the least. You will approximately need to fill in 20 surveys to be able to get your Free Domain (This is for a .Com Domain Name) which shouldn't take you long.

Godaddy Giftcard

After you completed 20 surveys and you have 10 points you will be able to receive a GoDaddy Gift Card. To do this you will need to move your cursor on top of the Rewards button and choose GiftCard Rewards.

While you're on the GiftCard Rewards page go down until you see "Go Daddy Gift Card ($5 minimum)" and then type 10 in the field next to it and then press request. After that your prize will be marked as "Pending" on the Reward summary page.

Godaddy Giftcard Email

Here is a screenshot of when I got my GoDaddy Gift Card and I received it in one day. If you don't have a GoDaddy account please go to the Registrar a Free Domain Name with GoDaddy section.

Free Domain Poll

I know a lot of people that get put off when it comes to Surveys and I wanted to know whether you guys and gals get put off as well.

Get a Free Domain Name with GamingLagoon

GamingLagoon Offers

Now that you have signed up press the Complete Offers text link which blinks and is red. You will then be directed to a different page which contains a number of surveys and you will see a menu saying "Show me..." deselect everything apart from Free for Value Type, then choose Value for Order, there after choose Descending for Direction and choose Points for Type.

This will filter all the paid surveys and will leave the free surveys additionally the surveys will be sorted by the highest amount of points to the lowest amount of points. I believe that you will only need to complete 20 surveys to get your Free Domain (This is for a .Com Domain Name) which won't take long.

GamingLagoon GoDaddy Gift Card

After you have done 20 surveys and have 10 points you will be able to get a Free Domain Name. To get a free domain name you will need to press Redeem Points for Prizes text link.This will take you to another page were you should select Custom Order which is under categories and then click on more detail.

In the request requirements part, choose Yes for "Is the Address & Phone Number on File Correct?", then enter 10 for the Price and for link to product put this link http://www.godaddy.com/gift/gift-cards.aspx and the comments section should be left blank. You will then receive an email from GoDaddy with your Gift Card number similar to the image on the Get a Free Domain Name with Rewards1 section.

Registrar a Free Domain Name with GoDaddy

Godaddy Giftcards

If you don't possess a GoDaddy account go and create one by signing up to GoDaddy.com. You don't need to give any money to be a member, you don't even need to have a credit card or a bank account.

Now that you have signed up to GoDaddy.com sign in and then enter the domain you want to order in the search box. Continue with the form but remember not to add anything that is extra to the domain. At one point of the form you will see "registration length" make sure that it is set to 1 year.

You will then be on a page were it asks you to select a Payment Method, choose Gift Cards and agree to the terms and conditions. Now GoDaddy will ask you to enter the Gift Card Code which is included in the email GoDaddy has sent you. That's it you have successfully received a Free Domain!

Non-TLD Domain Name List

If you're not interested in completing surveys or getting referrals to get a Free Domain name, then you still have an opportunity to get a Free Domain name. These are not top level domain names, however they may still be useful for you:
