# The Hashnode Giveaway (August 2020)📦🎉

At Hashnode, we are strong advocates of Dev Bloggers maintaining creator independence and personal branding on their blogs. This led us to make Hashnode an inclusive platform where developers can create a blog and publish articles on their domain for free without sacrificing visibility and readership. 

When you create a blog on Hashnode, you get a free `subdomain.hashnode.dev` URL with the ability to map your custom domain to the blog for free. 

To continue supporting and empowering Dev Bloggers on Hashnode, we are giving out **100 personal domains** to developers who don’t have a personal domain.
