Hey there fellow netizen 👋
I believe you are looking for a free domain to host your project. Or maybe use it for your CDN?
Whatever your purposes might be, as long as they’re within reasonable ethics and legal regulations, you can feel free to contact domains@wev.ovh to claim your free subdomain.
Sample use cases
Connect with GitHub Pages to shorten the .github.io to .wev.ovh instead.
Connect with Cloudflare Pages to shorten the .pages.dev to .wev.ovh.
Connect with Gumroad to shorten the .gumroad.com to .wev.ovh.
Connect with Replit to use a custom domain instead of project.user.repl.co.
Connect with Hashnode to shorten the .hashnode.dev to .wev.ovh.
Why it matters
Certain countries offer second-level domains appended by their ccTLDs that are just 1-letter shorten than a wev.ovh domain. Yet, do you think it’s worth the cost for simply using the domain for a fun idea?
A .info.bd is as long as .wev.ovh but barely costs anything unlike the former, which stands at about $0.80 per year.
A .wev.ovh domain costs nothing while a .com.au domain is around $9 per year. That’s over $720 spanning your lifetime!
Surely, if your website is meant to be used for a business-oriented purpose, then spending $12 annually for a standard .com domain sounds like a very feasible task. But here at Wev.ovh, our vision is to help out developers from countries whose own domestic currency is very weak against the US dollar. And due to unfairly high exchange rates, even a tiny $10 a year (that’s less than $1 per month) seems like a pricey luxury for certain demographics (e.g. teenagers in India who do not have an allowance fit for purchasing domains on their own).
Is it worth it?
Let’s make one fact clear: You’ll be receiving a subdomain instead of a normal domain. It’s basically the same thing except you won’t have access to the DNS records. If you ever need to update/add/edit the DNS records pertaining to your registered “domain” with Wev.ovh, then you simply contact dns-manager@wev.ovh.
