2. InfinityFree

   • Description: InfinityFree provides free hosting services and offers a free subdomain as part of the package.
   • Conditions: While the domain is free, it’s a subdomain (e.g., yourname.infinityfreeapp.com) rather than a custom top-level domain (TLD).

3. GitHub Pages

   • Description: GitHub Pages allows you to host static websites for free, and you can get a free subdomain (yourusername.github.io).
   • Conditions: This is only a subdomain service, not a custom domain.

For completely free custom domains, options are limited to extensions like .tk, .ml, and others from Freenom. Most other platforms provide free subdomains, and for a fully custom domain (like .com or .net), you'll usually need to invest in a paid plan.

Several platforms offer domains for as low as $1, usually as part of a promotion for the first year of registration. Here are some popular platforms where you can often find such deals:

These deals are typically promotions and may be available only for specific domain extensions or during certain times of the year. Always check the renewal rates before purchasing, as the second-year cost may be significantly higher than the initial registration fee.
