I tried no IP, but: ![Screenshot_20190812-162755](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/b/e/be8dd98ff118ff9b4f5b568150f79488fc1f89da.png) They make you pay for DKIM and SPF 😕. So does anyone know of a free domain hosting service that has DKIM and SPF? Because I need those two for Discourse to send emails… ---

Do you have a domain name? Every dns registrar lets you create those records. Or do you not want to register your own domain? ---

You can obtain a free .tk domain at [http://www.dot.tk](http://www.dot.tk/). And use a free DNS: [https://zonomi.com/](https://zonomi.com/) ---

They’re only free for the first 12 months, after which time you need to pay to renew your domain. ---

I have a No-IP subdomain. So I just have a subdimain, not a domain. I just want emails to work. ---

Do you mean the .tk domains? I don’t think so: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/1/5/15146723b05c847256dd4ea81cdb4fd7fee60490.png) ---

It works with DNS delegation, like any other registrar. Maybe I don’t understand your question. ---

What prevents a third party from going to [https://zonomi.com/](https://zonomi.com/) and setting up DNS records that relate to your free domain? ---

It’s how DNS works. Basically, the name server at the top level domain would have to point to the zone at Zonomi, and you control that. (I’m sure my terminology is incorrect.) ---

Got it, so you can change the name server at your domain registrar, in this case [http://www.dot.tk/](http://www.dot.tk/)? ---

Yes, you can do that. ---

I spend as much time on forums as my wife does being a professor. I make more, though. 😉 If you want a subdomain of [myforum.us](http://myforum.us) or conversation.site, send me an email and I’ll hook you up. ---

I **was** being sarcastic. I make my entire living installing, supporting, migrating, and sometimes writing plugins for Discourse. Only _some_ of that time is wasted. 😉 ---

> [@Evan\_the\_yoyo\_boy](#): > > I don’t think y’all understand. I’m 13 years old and I have no money. Paper runs … mowing of lawns … milk runs … walking dogs. I did a lot of ‘Paper runs … mowing of lawns’ when I was 13. Money is a medium of exchange. Looks for ethical ways to exchange something you can do for someone else which will help you do what you want. The people you want to serve with the forum … they might be open to an exchange … you might ask them for a subscription committment. 30 people … 50c a year from each … 15 dollars. Voila!
