You will now be on the DNS Server page, here you can select a custom name server (From a hosting you are registered with) or select Ovh's default name servers. You can change these at any time anyway.
When you have made your choice, click "Continue"

You will now come to a billing page, the total will be £0.00 so don't worry.
Now to the bottom left of your screen you should see a box saying "Free Validation", click "Next" in that box and enter the code.

You will now recieve a few emails about the registration, read them all and make sure you find the two emails with the validation link in it.
The subjects of the email begin with "[INVOICE PP_*******]" and "[ORDER *******]"

There is no limit on the amount you can make but you can only make 2 on the day you registered and 1 every other day.


This offer has no expiry date and has been going for over a year so it should work all the time!

Guessing this is no longer free?

It's showing as £5 + VAT so £5.75 all in all :(

edit: Nvm I assume it's becase I'm outside of the UK atm.

Kinda wierd tbh. Made this thread on the day his account was created and showing as like £12 and having to give you your money, looks like a way to pay via your mobile.

Not really advised.

+ his name is 'hustler' seems very fishy lol.

unless it actually says your paying £0.00, id advise not to try this.

unpinned till someone can confirm its actually not a scam.

I don't own the website. It did work when you got past 'No Hosting' it should say £0.00 but for some reason they not giving out free .co.uk domains anymore. It worked for me on saturday, i have a couple of domains so i was lucky i got them in time. I had a look into this and looked on there official website forum and theres a thread saying they dont do it anymore.
