Most of you know that I changed from blogspot.com to my own domain two days ago. I got a domain name registered for two years and it has cost me $14.30 after using coupon codes. My friend Haris wrote a post on Free Top Level Domains few days ago, which inspired me to write this post.
I know bloggers who are in blogspot because they don't have money to get a domain. I was also one in that list but somehow managed to get a domain. So if you are in blogger blog, read this post carefully because you can get Domain and Hosting without spending a penny but you have to do other things like posting in forums.
The main reason why I tell people to move from blogger is because, most people treat it as a SPLOG and hence your subscriber count and Technorati Ranking will most probably increase very slow. One blogger who is very famous in blogspot is Amit. But it is very tough for everyone to get famous with blogger blogs. So change to a domain and WordPress as soon as possible(I'm moving this blog to WordPress soon).
Note: Though you don't have to pay anything, there are certain things which you have to follow to get a domain. So read them carefully.
Haris, in his post, mentions the following sites/Forum:
1. Domain Discussion Board: You have to get 3000 ddpoints to redeem for a domain.
2. D4Free: You need to get 200 points to redeem for a domain.
3. Domain Lagoon: This is only for people living in USA and Canada and you need to get 6.29 points by filling surveys to get an one year Domain registration.
For more you can read the post by Haris.

Thanks a lot for the link love. :)
Haris, welcome. Your post was good and informative. So I thought of sharing it in my blog.
Do posting for a domain or hosting, is never a good idea, in this way you spend a lot of time for very cheap things, a domain cost approx Rs 350/- and I don't think it is wise to spend hours in doing post in someones forum for this.
BTW you can use aug30 coupon code to get 30% off in hosting cost at http://www.ewebguru.com/ till Aug 31.
Ashok,
Yeah I agree with you. I think these are one time posting and you don't have to keep posting there. Also I always recommend paid domains like getting from Godaddy and other sites like you said. This post was for bloggers who stayed in blogger just because they don't have money. Thanks for your comment.
