  FreeNetnames comes up trumps!
 
It seems almost too good to be true, but by signing up for freenetnames.co.uk internet access you do indeed get a .co.uk or org.uk domain name for free! There are a few conditions (log on every 90 days, no porn on your site, that sort of thing) but (...) (24 years ago, 2-Dec-99, to lugnet.loc.uk)

I believe I have sorted all the Netscape anomalies, except for one - URLS can't contain spaces, which I'll fix tomorrow. Please LMK if it looks OK for you now. Thanks (24 years ago, 2-Dec-99, to lugnet.loc.uk, lugnet.publish)
