Free domains
for the tech community.

Dommate offers four suffixes: *.net.rich, *.edu.rich, *.ii.pe, and *.ac.chat. Pick a name you like, point it at your own DNS, and start building. Full NS delegation — you own the records.

<name>.net.rich
.net.rich
<name>.edu.rich
.edu.rich
<name>.ii.pe
.ii.pe
<name>.ac.chat
.ac.chat

REST API · scriptable

Use it in 30 seconds.

Unlike other free-domain services, Dommate ships a full REST API. Issue a token and manage A / AAAA / CNAME / TXT / MX records from your CI, your homelab, or curl.

terminal — add a DNS record
$ curl -X POST https://api.dommate.com/api/v1/domains/12/records \
       -H "Authorization: Bearer dom_xxxxxxxxxxxx" \
       -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
       -d '{"type":"A","name":"www","content":"1.2.3.4","ttl":600}'

{
  "id": 42,
  "type": "A",
  "name": "www",
  "content": "1.2.3.4",
  "ttl": 600,
  "created_at": "2026-05-06T12:00:00Z"

Why Dommate

Full NS delegation
Delegate to your own authoritative NS (any DNS provider or self-hosted). The records are yours.
Score-based instant approval
Bind any of 14 platforms (GitHub, Google, Discord, LinkedIn, Reddit, Steam, …); meet your suffix's threshold and the application is auto-approved with no queue.
Human moderation
The Terms ban phishing / malware outright. Abuse reports resolved within 24h to keep the pool healthy.

Auto-approval thresholds

Each suffix has its own score threshold. Bind any of the 14 supported platforms to accumulate score; reaching the threshold lets your applications skip the human-review queue.

OAuth bindings

GitHub (up to +20) / Google / Discord / LinkedIn / Reddit / Stack Overflow / Steam / Battle.net / Epic / GitLab / Product Hunt — bind once and the platform's score is automatically credited.

Independent website

Verify ownership of your own-domain blog (DNS TXT or token-on-page) for a +10 reputation boost.

Package publishing

Publish a package on npm or PyPI containing a Dommate-issued challenge token — proves you ship code under your handle (+10 each).

Score is recomputed on every OAuth login; thresholds: .net.rich = 20, .ii.pe / .ac.chat = 35, .edu.rich = 42. Full breakdown on /verifications.

FAQ

Can I use it commercially?+

Personal projects, small shops, indie studios — absolutely. We discourage it as a company's primary brand domain (expect moderation and compliance friction); real companies should buy .com / .cn.

Will it be revoked suddenly?+

Only two cases: (1) ToS / AUP violation following an abuse report; (2) 90 days of DNS downtime plus two email warnings. Normal use is free forever.

What if my NS goes down?+

While active, DNS is fully yours. We only delegate and monitor; sustained unresponsiveness enters the reclaim flow after email warnings.

Why not give me the apex domain?+

We run shared authoritative suffixes (net.rich / edu.rich / ii.pe / ac.chat). After PSL inclusion, browsers treat each domain as an independent site. You get full domain control but not the apex itself.

Max domains per account?+

Six. Revoke one before applying again; any domain can be revoked from the dashboard at any time.

Can I transfer a domain to another user?+

Yes — from /domains pick the domain → 'Transfer'. The recipient must meet the suffix's score threshold to accept. After acceptance the domain is theirs immediately; your active-domain quota stays occupied for 3 months. Same domain has a 6-month transfer cooldown afterwards.

How is this different from is-a.dev / js.org?+

They host on GitHub Pages via CNAME. We do full NS delegation — your DNS, any records (A / AAAA / MX / TXT / SRV / CAA). Plus: 5 suffixes (vs 1), 14-platform reputation system for instant approval, and user-to-user transfer support.
