🌐 Get a Free Domain for Your React Project
A custom domain makes your React site look more professional. There are several platforms that offer free domains (with or without hosting). Below are popular options and how to use them.
🆓 1. Free Subdomains from Hosting Platforms
-
Vercel: your-app.vercel.app
Netlify: your-site.netlify.app
GitHub Pages: username.github.io/project-name
🌍 2. Free Custom Domains (.tk, .ml, .ga)
You can register free domains from:
- Freenom.com – Offers .tk, .ml, .ga, .cf, .gq
- InfinityFree – Free subdomain + hosting
- EU.org – Free domains with DNS setup (requires review)
🔧 3. Connect Domain to Hosting
To link a domain to Vercel, Netlify, or GitHub Pages:
- Go to your hosting dashboard
- Add a custom domain (e.g.,
yourdomain.tk
) - Update DNS settings at your domain provider:
- A Record – Points to hosting IP (for GitHub)
- CNAME – Points to app domain (e.g.,
your-app.netlify.app
)
- Wait for DNS propagation (can take a few hours)
⚠️ Free domains (.tk, .ml, etc.) can be less reliable and may be suspended without notice. Use them for learning or early-stage projects.
