Hunting for a domain for a side project but don't want to pay for one? An open-source GitHub project hands out free domains, and it never asks for a credit card. This share walks you through the signup and how to point your own nameservers at it.
You get custom nameservers and a domain that costs nothing, which is handy for a project, some testing, or just learning how DNS works. Just remember that domain availability and the service terms can change, so grab the name you want while it is there.
Add your Cloudflare nameservers. Custom nameservers are supported here, so your own choice works.
Confirm everything and you are done.
Wrapping Up
That is it: a free domain with your own nameservers attached, no card involved at any point. Point it at your project or your test setup and see how it goes. Since availability and the terms can shift, double-check the name you picked is still yours before you build much on top of it.
