About Free .be Domains

[.root]

Hello there guys and girls. Long time no post. Anyway, I am posting just to clear up a few things. Six months ago I registered about 30 free .be domains from www.eurodns.com and tried to register a few more a few days ago. It seem like the domains are not free anymore. I am being asked for payment details however six months ago I was not. I was also wondering whether I'll have to pay a renewal fee once my domains expire within another 6 month. Also, does anyone know of any other registrars which give out free .be domains. All help is much appreciated.

It was a promotion for the .be domains... they WERE free for a short period of time. They are no longer.

Never free again. That is the history. You have to pay the money to renew the name.

 

[NeeJam]

yes you have to pay the renewal fee and if you don't wnat to then either drop the names or sell them

I believe the last free reg date was 31 January 2006

Wasn't 10 the limit for free .be domains?

I got some free, but then paid for some more a few months ago.

Phew! That's a lot of renewal fees.
Still two or three good sales might cover that.

make sure your registrar does not autorenew. I picked up 10 last year.

me?!?! .!?! how dare you accuse ME of stockpiling 1.5k free bes

 

[RickM]

Why would anyone want 1.5k of them - i cant give mine away!

 

[GoPC]

You know, in about 1000 years, they will be worth something.

or...

even at $1 a name, his 1500 names are worth $1500 bucks!

Just curious though... I thought the freebie offer was limited to 30 names. How did you get 1500 of them?

whoa 1500 domains is alot for .be's LOL

 

[kisiel]

It's good business to register 1,5k domains. He can sell them for maybe 2-3 each and he have a lot of money from 0...

 

[Sam]

Hmm...

Total .be profits: $1701

Haha, that's a lot of domains. I'd say pretty good even to even sell only the best few.
