Ask HN: Do you have a spare domain that I could use?

Hello HN!

I am a university undergrad student developer. Does anyone have a spare domain that I could use for my projects ( of course opensourced ). I would be glad if someone could help me out :)

Thanks

I can lend you terrorcore.ovh, it's currently sitting unused.

Domains cost seven dollars a year. Why not just buy one?

I'm not essentially looking for something to maintain. I just want to test out my projects for the time I'm in university. Since am not looking to make any profits from this, I just thought why not ask if someone has a spare one. Just a thought O:)

$0.99 for a .com with godaddy.
oswalpalash
I dont know why, but they charge $15 in India for a year with the taxes :(

I'm from India too and I have bought a few $0.99 domains from godaddy in past few months. Let me know if you're still looking for a domain and I can help you buy it for $0.99 or buy one for you. Email is in my profile.

For now, it's available for INR 99. Time to buy one. Google "Godaddy", click on the Adwords Ad. Coupon will be applied.

If you have a credit card or an international debit card, you can switch currency on godaddy to USD and then it'll cost you about INR 70. ;)

OP is in Gujarat, India.

I'm not sure that $10 is out of reach, but it shouldn't be surprising that $10 for a student in India is very different to $10 to a student in the US.

250,000 rupees is roughly $4,000.

Obviously, cost of living is much cheaper: http://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/city_result.jsp?country...

It is not about affordability. I was just looking for someone who had a spare one. I would buy one otherwise anyway :)

just use a free one? sure it's limited but i think it works just fine.

Just register a free .tk/.ml/.ga/.cf or .gq domain on freenom.com

You can get a shared domain over at afraid.org

Why don't you ask someone for a subdomain? DNS is designed to be hierarchical with delegation of authority.

[Edit: except I suppose that web browsers have trampled all over that with assumptions about trust which would hold false here]

It's cool if someone gives me a subdomain.
