Is there a free alternative to Google Sites that’s open source? I want one with free custom domains, not subdomains.

    I dat to check google sites first since I never used it before.

    From the quick glance I gathered, I‘d say there is no open source equivalent with free custom domains.

    Registering top level domains is not available for free I think. The closest I know is duckdns.

    If google is giving out top level domains for free now then it is a market dominance strategy because nobody else can do it I think.

    Let me know if you have any more questions.

      I don’t they do, they only give free subdomains

        That would make sense. But in that case I don’t understand why op is asking for an open source equivalent with free top level domains.

          maybe they meant adding domains for free, most free hosts don’t allow you to use custom domains for free and require a paid plan for that. so could be that OP is willing to pay for the domain itself but not for using it, which is fair

            Yes, absolutely. Odd choice of words I suppose. :)
