FreeYourID is a cool new web service that allows users to register a personal .Name domain name which can be used as an services that support OpenID.

FreeYourID is giving away free 90 day trial of .Name addresses ($2.99/qtr or $10.95/yr. Your domain name will be in the format of first.last.name (Ex: http://www.lovedeep.wadhwa.name). You can redirect the domain to your existing website, host email aliases or you can use it as login credentials for services that support OpenID.

Techcrunch reports that FreeYourID will be rolling out integration with Lycos Europe and Pageflakes. Lycos will be releasing a new product, which will use .name URIs for identity across email, IM, and VOIP and Pageflakes will be rolling out personalized .Name addresses for their users to access their accounts.

You can also register http://www.yourname.name from any domain registrar and then register for a open id on www.myopenid.com. Visit this page to know how to use your own url as open id.
