       How to make a FREE domain!

       This is a detailed guide on how to set up a free .tk domain via
  HTML http://dot.tk
       
       This is NOT cloaking. Using .tk cloaking on your forum can cause
       problems with staying logged in as well as a few others. It is
       not recommended that you use cloaking, but rather follow this
       guide to get a free domain with DNS Support.
       For this guide I will use an example test forum of mine:
  HTML http://random.createaforum.com.com
       And I will change it's domain to:
  HTML http://random.tk
       Getting Started
       If you are not the administrator of the forum you are trying to
       park the domain to, this will not work. There is information
       that is needed from the Admin CP and also steps that require
       access to the control panel.
       First, you will have to register a domain with .tk. Doing so is
       not difficult. But with the way their homepage is set up, it can
       be confusing.
       When you get to their homepage, there will be a display box in
       the middle. And a place to enter a domain. Do NOT use this box
       for your .tk domain. Rather, see the links directly above the
       box. There is one called Web Domain. Click it.
       Registering the Domain
       On the page it brings you to you will need to type the domain
       name you wish to have.
       I typed"random" in the box because my URL will be random.tk.
       After you have typed your desired URL name in the box, click
       next
       Choose Free Domain and then click next
       The page it will bring you to, will ask for your domain and if
       you want to use DNS support.
       Click the button that says Use DNS for this domain
       See picture
       Nameservers
       When you click that button, the page will change and you will
       see 4 boxes appear.
       But there is also a bubble to check next to Use my own DNS
       services (check that)
       To setup the nameservers you have to set the "Name Server" to
       ns1.yourdomain.tk and ns2.yourdomain.tk
       And then you will need to go to your forum. Go to Admin CP >
       Domain Manager (See picture to find IP addresses)
       There you will find 2 IP addresses (if you notice, they ARE the
       same) copy that IP address. The IP address will go in the boxes
       to the right labeled "IP address"
       the top, you can click Update Forum URL
       After you've done that, it will change your domain to the .tk
       domain you've chosen. Don't worry though, if someone goes to the
       original longform domain of your forum, they'll be redirected to
       the new one.
