Have You Nabbed Your FREE .BE Domain Names Yet?

Free .BE domain names? That's right. Right now you can register .BE names for 1 year free of charge at participating registrars.

A NamePros member discovered the free .BE names offer @ www.EuroDNS.com a couple of days ago. Since then, lots of NamePros members were able to secure some high quality .BE names for free @ EuroDNS.

But it appears that the registrar has been overwhelmed with requests, as they now have a 10 free .BE domain name limit, with a charge of $4 per .BE name after that. Still, 10 free .BE names is much, much better paying $20-$40 per .BE name, which is what registrars have been charging lately.

Other registrars offering free 1 year registrations of .BE names include www.Nucleus.be (Nucleus.be has a 5 name limit on their free .BE offer.)

The free .BE promotion is set to expire on January 31, 2006. But if you plan on taking advantage of the promotion, you shouldn't procrastinate, or else you might find all the names you want gone! Here's a list of some participating registrars:

www.Nucleus.be
www.EuroDNS.com
www.1dollar-hosting.com
www.namebay.com
www.trade.be
www.Box.be

Is giving away free .BE domain names a good strategy? I think it is. The official top level domain (TLD) of the European Union--.EU--is getting ready to explode onto the scene, and the .BE namespace will have a very tough time competing with it. I think the hope is that at least some of these free .BE names will get developed into valuable web properties over the course of a year; registrars like Nucleus and EuroDNS can then charge a registration fee for those developed names once it comes time to renew in November of 2006.

I dropped a number of novelty .BE names back in March of this year. You can get these name for free right now; if interested, click here for the list.


If you nab any free .BE names, or if you find another registrar offering free .BE names, post a comment with some details. Thanks!
