Only for Indians - free domain & hosting

Just browsing and saw this stuff

Google India in collaboration with Hostgator and ICICI Bank is giving away .in domain name and 1 year web hosting for free. <3

It will require your pan card number.

1. Go to indiagetonline.in
2. Click on "yes i want my free website"
3. Register domain name for free.Click next.
4. Fill the form with your details.Click next.
5. Activate your account.


The hosting is only for basic use, not able to use wordpress on it. But still, it's free!! :D

nice share bro
I got a domain long back (maybe a week ago) I don't remember the domain and not in mood to use it as the control is quite confusing than the cpanel :p

 

[rakesh]

[nasavsisro]

Great its working but only website editor no script support thanks anyway

 

[vizoomer]

we can easily get the domain and get the hosting somewhere else .. read the FAQ and you'll know

so free domain + hosting somewhere else and you are good to start your own site :P

Yes, lets all lure them in with free candy then kidnap them.

Don't you see whats happening? Doesn't it seem a bit suspicious that out of the blue there's free hosting AND A FREE DOMAIN?

Its says you can host somewhere else after 1 year.
Lol you cannot just get a free domain and host it somewhere else. )

Those guys are smart :D

You see its special offer for indians, to promote Hostgator, which has opened shop in India this year.

PAN card and WAREz. Good Combo :D

PAN is just for verification, that you are indian.

It would have been nice if we could get the domain free and host it somewhere else before that 1 yr period. Will check it out at night.

Nice share btw

nice thread but I edited the title. The rules state you need to have a descriptive title.

from their FAQ:

What if I want to use my free .in domain for another website hosted elsewhere?

You can certainly do so at the end of the initial year. The program is designed for businesses to get started using the complete package we provide for free and hosting is an integral part of it. HostGator provides the ability to manage the DNS for your domain which would give you the flexibility of using the domain with any hosting if you decide not to renew the domain and hosting with them. However, we believe you would like the overall program experience, as Google and HostGator will be with you at every step to help you with anything you need.

yup you are right :facepalm:
