How Can You Get Your Own Emoji Domain For Free

.

Emoji domains are coming into trend in short time, you might have seen URLs like iโค.ws , iโคtacos.ws , ๐Ÿ“™.ws and much more. According to Gizmodo they might be the future of internet.

The first emoji domainsโ€” โ™จ๏ธ.com, โ™จ๏ธ.net, โ˜ฎ๏ธ.com, โ™‚๏ธ.comโ€”were registered on April 19th, 2001, a purchase that at the time might have resembled conceptual art.

Today Few Hours Ago I Just Bought The Domain ๐ŸŒ.cf which redirects to the homepage of Adventure Of Palash , but the amazing part is I bought that domain for free, So I'm gonna share How You Can Get a Free Emoji Domain too..

Emojis

โ€ข Step 1 : Selecting Emoji

Choose your favourite emoji which you want in your domain name , such as ๐ŸŒ, โค, ๐ŸŒณ, โ˜•, etc.

If you're on Desktop or on Mobile which doesn't have a Emoji keyboard , don't worry , I've a solution for you.
Use https://emojipedia.org , they have all the emojis listed, just search in the searchbox which emoji you want.

If you have selected your domain name proceed to the next step.

โ€ข Step 2 : Converting into Punycode

Domain registrars don't support emoji input so you have to convert your selected emoji Punycode which is their latin representation.

You Can Use http://punycoder.com/ to convert emoji to Punycode.

Copy the emoji from emojipedia, or type in directly from keyboard then click on Convert To Punycode >> button and copy the output from below box.

โ€ข [Alternative Way]

You can also use Chrome or Other Web Browser to get Punycode, just do this.

At the address bar of web browser, type your emoji then .abc , without any space

.abc is not mandatory i just put it for example you can use any other TLDs such as .com , .xyz etc.

Then Your Browser will automatically convert the emoji to Punycode,

If you entered something like , ๐ŸŒ.abc it will be converted to xn--wg8h.abc , so copy your Punycode which is here xn--wg8h

โ€ข Step 3 : Register The Domain

As we want the domain for free we will be using https://freenom.com , Signup there and in search domain box paste our Punycode and hit enter if your domain is available it will be listed below, if not you've to choose another emoji domain and convert it to Punycode using previous steps.

If available register your domain for free no credit card will be required. Then using domain panel you can forward the domain to your existing website or setup a brand new website with your brand new Emoji Domain.

Important Note : as Freenom is a free domain registrar, don't expect too much. If you want a professional emoji domain go for .ws domain , most of people who has emoji domain using this TLD.

โ€ข Easy Way - domainoji.com

Though you cannot get free domains with domainoji.com but it provides a click solution to converting your domain to punycode and registering it.

I would highly recommend domainoji.com because nowadays Facebook and some other social media sites have blocked the free domains.

I love that freenom has redirecting as a part of the checkout process, so now I basically have a vanity url for the next year.

From what I can tell, though, it mostly only works on Chrome and mobile Chrome. And I kinda broke Hover's validation trying to get a .xyz with it :P

Interesting, but people may not be able to output emoji on the keyboard.
