I love .co.cc domain, for its excellent support and service. I also used uni.cc but they are not so good. If any one knows such another free domain name provider please post here. Please post those who give full dns control, not redirection.

Well co.cc is a good service they are in market since last 3 months,
no other provides Cname , MX and DNS .

.co.cc is never seen in good serps, i dont know the reason why.
Why not spend a few dollars to buy a good branded domain name like .com ?

you can even get a domain name for free at Hb forums,just google to find it..don't want to spam here.

I think better off you get paid domain name and you get a control you domain name, not so expensive.My favourite is namecheap.com

What country does .CC belong to? I think tthat it might have troubles if you are not resident of that country. Just my guess..

I will buy you a domain, you need to find my post in advertising section but I am running a promotion

I use free-domain, too.
But it is on the high-risk.
So Buying for the domain is better for a long time.

fr.ma it's too a good free domaine it's my short url http://bestportail.fr.ma

With cke.rs you can register a millions of great domains. There are cheap and expensive domain combinations.

register.com do have a promotion of free dot com registration for one year, but you need to remember to transfer out as their renewal fees is $35/year. Also getting the auth code requires calling in which is quite an hassle.

1&1 have some good deals on domains and hosting but their customer service sucks.

I agree on your comment. .com is more popular than .co.cc but serp ranking is depend on how you promote and build links on your site.

I used to use them but have heard many people have problems so I only use real domains now. Even .infos I have heard (and experienced) have some penalty on google as they are mostly spam sites (not all). So to sum it up I would say for any long term project that you are serious about, .com has more trust from google.

I agree, free domains are great, but when you recognise that your site gets popular and used, you need to buy a proper domain.

Even .infos I have heard (and experienced) have some penalty on google as they are mostly spam sites (not all).

NO tlds have more (or less) "trust" with search engines.

It's the content you put on them that matters.

Do They allow you to transfer before the renewal period?

It may be true that there is no official penalty and that quality site can still do well on .info or other domain, it is just my opinion or better said my experiences and many people I have talked to have had similar issues with them.

As he said though, content is what matters. If your content is good you should still do well.

Gotcha! The post i was looking for. Now i can find a better and free domain names. thanks for this post!
