Where can students get a free domain without using GitHub?
Asked by

I'm looking for a legitimate way to verify my student status and get a free domain, ideally for at least a year, without having to use GitHub or a GitHub-related student offer. I found a provider that offered something similar several months ago, but I can't remember its name. Does anyone know of good options?

Cloudflare has some free options for students and developers, although they may not provide a traditional custom domain. Cloudflare Pages gives you a free address ending in pages.dev, while Workers can provide a workers.dev address.

If you only need a site address for a portfolio or project, Cloudflare Pages or Workers can work well. Their service-provided domains are free and generally don’t expire like a one-year promotional domain might.

Namecheap may be worth checking, since it sometimes offers student-focused promotions. The exact availability and eligibility requirements can change, so verify the current terms before signing up.

NovaKite63: Those Cloudflare addresses are useful for hosting projects, but they aren’t the same as registering your own .com or other standard domain.
