A free subdomain is undoubtedly a great benefit for website operators. However, the cost of obtaining a domain from regular domain service providers is too high and not everyone can afford it.
Today, I want to introduce you to a domain service provider called ClouDNS that offers free subdomain DNS hosting services.
ClouDNS allows each user to bind a free subdomain to showcase their website or blog to the public.
However, this also means certain limitations:
- These free domains do not have ownership, and ClouDNS has the right to cancel or revoke the domain usage rights at any time. This is a limitation we need to consider.
If you can accept the above limitations, ClouDNS is undoubtedly one of the best choices for obtaining a free subdomain.
In this tutorial, I will demonstrate in detail how to successfully apply for and bind your free subdomain through ClouDNS. Join me and add a domain to your website!
