    Check out this article: http://www.articlesbase.com/movies-...d-side-streaming-online-free-now-1459995.html

    Wow! Over 20,000 views - that must have generated some serious cash! Except when you click on the links in the article, you get taken to: http://freemoviesmagic.co.nr/

    So yeah, deciding to be cheap and skip the $10 domain name will probably come back to bite you in the ass at some point. Hopefully none of you will ever make this mistake.

    If you can't afford to pay $7 to register a .com then you should get a real job not try and make money online.

    Free domains means they can't controlled by u, and they may lose when you have earns.

    There is certainly no free lunch. Forking out a small investment for domain names will go a long way. I tried some free domain names once and, I don't know - I did not work on them as hard as I should.... somehow I felt I was going to lose them someday.

    Free hosting means doing job without salary.

    Using free domains automatically makes you liable to the company TOS, that's why they take sites down.

    i also have the same point of view that having a free domain means you are working for someone and you will get nothing but he will get the whole benefit at the end
