Free domain for students

If you're a computer science or software engineering student, you need a real URL for your portfolio, resume site and projects — but you shouldn't have to pay for it. certed.one gives you a free certified domain in seconds.

No student pack, no card, no catch

Programs like the GitHub Student Developer Pack offer a free domain for one year, but they require eligibility verification and the domain renews at full price afterward. certed.one has no eligibility checks and no renewal bill — claim a yourname.certed.one subdomain for free and keep it.

Perfect for a developer portfolio

Recruiters click links. A clean yourname.certed.one on your resume looks far better than a long hosting URL. Point it at your portfolio in minutes:

Great for coursework and capstones

Class projects, capstones and group assignments all look more polished on a custom domain. Each teammate can claim their own free name, and you can register one for the project too. See free domains for projects.
