As a teenager back in 2000 I got my .com domain for free from namezero. When I got into university and got my first credit card, the first thing I used it for was to buy my domain out to own it myself (I think it was like $20-$30 from Network Solutions) These days there are so many free DynDNS services out there that I don't know if a $1 domain on some weird TLD is that enticing.
