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, WordPress, and eCommerce 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 Customer Portal - Add a Package.
Can I change my billing cycle or term on an existing package to get the free domain?
No, only NEW package purchases are eligible.
What happens if I cancel my hosting package?
You'll be refunded the price you paid for the hosting package, minus $17.99 (+ any applicable taxes) for the domain, except for the .com domain, which is $18.99 (+ any applicable taxes). The domain will remain active for 1 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.
