Just another domain in my opinion. All .tk websites I've seen a all crap and pointless junk, but I'd blame the owner, not the domain.

The .tk domain is notorious for being used by spammers and scammers due to very lenient laws in whatever country it originates from (I forget.) Just having a website with the .tk domain won't cause any harm, but keep in mind that more tech-savvy users aren't going to click on a .tk link (and won't visit your site) because of its notorious reputation. I'd say just use .com.

GoDaddy is complete shit. Use 1and1.

Do I have to host it with them to get a .com or .net domain, can't i just pay for .com domain and keep hosting at webs(where i currently have my site).

You can keep your current hosting. I think you will need to change the nameservers.

If you're buying a .tk domain - you're doing it wrong.
But yes, go with a TLD (.com, .net, etc) if you can afford it. GoDaddy is very cheap but their web hosting is no-go.

Visit namepros, you can earn virtual points by doing things for members and then buy a .com domain (as well as hosting) with those points

It's pretty poor but it's free

The country you're looking for is Tokelau. It's a South Pacific Island nation(:

You would know.

If you're serious about it, use .com. Dot tk is only for those who don't think their websites are worth the $12 buck a year for a dot com. And scammers, spammers etc

.com, and like I said, try namepros.

I trust namecheap.com
They even gave me credit to buy 2 domains (I won this trivia thing) but I'm still using a sub domain so yeah. Definitely don't use that .tk thing. I've never seen a decent website with that extension. And don't they put that hideous banner on top?

Back a few years ago I used .co.nr and it was free but people say that that doesn't work anymore.

co.cc is the best free alternative.
