Abstract:

According to this concept, there are a large number of and large varieties of free resources around us, which can be utilized for great solutions. The resources can be Substances, Energy resources, Information Resources, Environmental, Human or anything that is available within the access of a system. However, in the current age of money driven perception, sometimes we don’t recognize or don’t care to explore or don’t feel confident of utilizing such resources.

There are many free resources around us. While talking about Internet, the Internet itself is a (almost) free resource- the largest information resource that the history has ever seen. Apart from free information on the World Wide Web, it also provides various other resources, such as, free resources to build your own websites. Some of the resources worth mentioning are free domain names, free hosting servers, free content management systems and so on.

This article talks about the free domain name as a potential Resource to build websites. However, a free resource may not always be useful. For example, migrating from an old established domain to a free domain may not be advisable just because the domain name is free. One has to weigh the pros and cons of various aspects to take such a decision. The article narrates real life experience on different case studies demonstrating good decisions and bad decisions of using free domains.
