Now , we move onto free domain names. There is only one web service I know, that actually gives you free doamin names. That is repparttar site www.tk.com.It offers free domain names like www.yourname.tk for free. Here`s how to obtain a free domain name:

First set up a free website with Tripod or Freewebsites. I explained how to do this earlier.

Go to www.tk.com and set up a free account with them. They will ask for repparttar 132728 url of your existing website. Give repparttar 132729 url of repparttar 132730 website you set up with Tripod or Freewebsites.

Now they will ask you for repparttar 132731 name to give to your tk domain name. Give them a short name which is easy to remember. There, you have got your free website.

CAUTION:Your .tk domain name will expire after a period of time. Then, all you have to do is reregister your domain name in .tk again. That`s All.

Many happy free websites to you.

• If you send bulk email to your list, make it easy for them to unsubscribe.

• In repparttar 132726 bulk message that you send, remind them of how and/or why they are on your list.
