HostingDude.com's Domain Name Software
How we decided to offer Free Domain Name Software, and more about our mission:

Software customers frequently write to us that they search and search for the ultimate free domain name software.  Many companies offer something that they call "free domain name" tools or "free domain name" software, but most often it comes with spyware or malware which causes  odd browser behavior and problems for the user.   Some free domain name software contains nagware, which reminds the users to buy the software, and shuts off the software after a period of time if the user hasn't purchased it.   That kind of domain name software isn't free domain name software!  

We recently became involved in the search for free domain tools from other sources and came quickly to the conclusion that we would need to provide our own domain name software to our valued customers, because we couldn't find any free domain name software without without strings attached.  Here at HostingDude.com we're dedicated to making virtually free domains a a reality to our customers by providing so many services without cost when our customers purchase a domain name.  

But now, we're taking free domains a step further, and offering free domains software tools without purchase of any kind.   Our goal is for free domain name registration services to be so plentiful, and our that our customers savings are so great on services they might otherwise have had to pay for, that the net result is a free domain name when considering all costs.   Every day we receive letters from customers thanking us for the savings, and noting that, compared to all the pay domain name services available elsewhere, they saved more than the small cost of domain name registration, and consider our total services better than having a free domain name.
