> At least own your domain name Serious question: How? Aside from .onion[0], all TLDs I know of only allow you to rent a domain name, and will take it away if you don't keep paying their protection racket year-on-year. I would be happy to pay >1000$ to purchase a (human-readable, second-level, etc) domain, if I could actually find where to do so. 0: which is less "own" and more "conjure out of the platonic ether something that no one else is capable of using".

try out freedns.afraid.org there is a small fee for a premium private account, or you can ride on supermans cape for free and make a secondary domain on those who choose to make thier domain public.

  That doesn't help you own a domain name. That just lets you configure DNS for domains.

    it has free subdomains you can use
    - Thorrez 7y ago
      Yes, but that doesn't solve any of the problems that a1369209993 mentioned. Those subdomains can be taken away from you at any time. You have no legal ownership of them.

It's like paying property tax to the government. Even if you own it, you have to pay to keep up the infrastructure, I guess.
