Since you are registering a new domain name so
, make sure that the domain name you are going to register is
available. You can do this by entering your desired domain name under “Get a New Domain” and clicking on Check Availability button. If it is available then you will be presented with following screen.

click on Save & Continue button. Then you will be ask to review your
information. Review it , agree to the terms of service and click on
submit button. Note : You must uncheck the Yes (Recommended) option
for domain privacy because if you check it you have to pay $1 per month.
As soon as you submit it for review you will get a pop up page asking for your Billing Information. They are asking this to protect against fraudulent activities.
Though your website and .com domain name are free but they still need
your billing information. Enter your address details and debit/credit
card information in this page. Now the real problem comes. Many of us
don’t have a real debit/credit card, so to solve this problem you need
to create a virtual visa credit card. You can create a virtual visa
from Entropay.com.
Note : You can also use other websites to create virtual visa. If you
don’t want to create virtual visa then use the following virtual visa
details to fill the payment options and you will be able to purchase
your domain for free.
- Name on card : Jackie Chan
- Card type : Visa
- Credit card number : 4067424695632061
- Expiration date : 12-2012
- Card security number : 279
Now just enter your virtual visa
details in the payment page and click on purchase button. Now you have
successfully created your website with a free .com domain name registration. It may take an hour to activate. After it is activated, you can use their website builder to create a new website or just change the name servers by going in the domain manager to use with other webhost.
