"Free domain" offers are everywhere, and they're usually genuine — but understanding exactly how they work saves you from a surprise renewal bill later.
How Free Domains Actually Work
A free domain is almost always bundled with a hosting plan, not given away on its own. When you order qualifying hosting, the domain registration fee for the first year is waived or included in the plan price.
What to Check Before You Sign Up
- Which extensions qualify — usually .co.ke or .com, sometimes with other extensions excluded
- What happens after year one — the domain typically renews at the standard price from year two onward, so factor that into your ongoing costs
- Whether it's tied to keeping the hosting plan — some providers require you to stay on the hosting plan for the domain to remain "free"
Our Free Domain Offers
We offer a genuinely straightforward version of this: order qualifying hosting and get a free domain for the first year, with options for free .co.ke or free .com registrations depending on the plan.
Is a Free Domain Worth Prioritising?
If you already need hosting, a free domain is a genuine saving with no real downside. If you only need a domain and not hosting, it's usually not worth buying hosting you don't need just to get one — a standalone domain registration is inexpensive on its own.
