Free domains are now a thing. For anyone who doesn’t know—your domain is the link you type into the search bar, like google.com or mosheschwartzberg.com. Up until now, domains have always been something you rent from a provider, year after year. It’s just been part of the cost of being on the internet. But this changes everything. Now, with free hosting options like Netlify and free domains through projects like this, you can put a full website online at zero cost. We might be stepping into a new era of the internet—where the barrier to entry is basically gone. Whether that ends up being a good or bad thing… we’ll find out soon enough. What do you think—does this make the internet better or worse?
