Common Questions

Can I get any domain I want for free?
While you can register a variety of top-level domains (TLDs), only domains ending in .biz, .club,.co, .com, .host, .info, .me, .net, .online, .org, .org, .site, .space, .store, .tech and .website are eligible for this promotion.

What are the package types eligible for a free domain?
The eligible packages are all newly purchased Shared, Cloud, and Optimized WordPress hosting packages on a 12-, 24-, or 36-month renewal cycle.

Is this offer only for new customers?
Nope! Existing customers can also take advantage of this promotion if an additional hosting package is purchased. It cannot be used to renew an existing domain registration or for migrating an existing hosting package. For more information, please see this article on Adding A New Package.

Can I change my billing cycle on an existing package to get the free domain?
No, only a NEW package purchase is eligible.

What happens if I cancel my hosting package?
You will be refunded the price you paid for the hosting package, minus $17.99 (+ any applicable taxes) for the domain. The domain will continue to be active for one year from the registration date and remain with the current domain registrant.

Can I transfer my free domain during the first year?
Absolutely! However, due to ICANN rules, you can not transfer a domain until the domain has been registered for 60 days, but after that window, you are free to transfer the domain to a host of your choosing.
