Is there a way not to pay domain registration fees?
I have a computer I can use for a server. I have it all set up, but I want to know if you really HAVE to register a domain name, or if there is another way to do it. Like assigning an alias to the IP address.

a domain name is an alias to the IP. Thats what DNS is for
You have to pay. It doesn’t cost much, go to godaddy, its probably less then $10

Domain forwarding? Last time I checked those will still cost you.
You really have to pay for the DNS services if you want to use your own servers. Other than that, get free hosting. With ads in it (Argh!)

You should be able to get a free 2nd-level domain (like yourname.theirdomain.org) at:
