Your Qualifying Product has been Added to Your Cart.
Now select your FREE .COM Domain Name!
OR, if you prefer a different TLD than .COM: Choose a Free .ORG, Free .NET, Free .CO, or Free .IN Domain!)
Choose Your FREE .COM Domain Here:
Search, Select, and Add it to Your Cart!
PRICES Appear with Domains in this Search, BUT DO NOT WORRY — YOUR .COM IS FREE in your Cart.
1. SEARCH for the domain you want, ignoring prices showing
2. SELECT your desired Domain with qualifying TLD extension — .COM, and usually alternate choices: .ORG, .NET, .CO, or .IN
3. Click Add-To-Cart beside the qualifying domain you want, then click Continue-To-Cart in the top-right of the screen
4. If offered in the next screen, either Select or De-Select the fully OPTIONAL Domain Privacy/Security Options and...
5. Again, click Continue-To-Cart, and your Free Domain Name will be in your Cart at $0.00 as long as your cart also has the qualifying item (which should have been automatically added to cart when you clicked the button that brought you to this page)
6. Now Get Up to THREE (3) YEARS FREE REGISTRATION for products offering this option (most products which have this promo) as follows:
Once reaching your cart, first change the term length of the qualifying product to a 12, 24, or 36 month term, then change the length of registration for your selected Free Domain to the corresponding amount of time: 1, 2, or 3 years. Your cart should continue to show your chosen domain as $0.00 for the same term!
Remember, all other discounts for the qualifying products, such as your 15%-Off (Promo Code: HDX), will show in the Cart's SUB-TOTAL line, but not usually in the qualifying product's line-item. Just check the Sub-Total line and verify you're getting lowest price on the qualifying item too.
Additional Notes to Make Sure You're Getting Your FREE .COM Domain Name:
- Fully Combinable with Promo Code HDX for 15%-Off Virtually Every Item Not Already On-Sale
- Be Sure Promo Code HDX in your cart it discounts your qualifying item to the prices on the description page
- ...and, Promo HDX discounts 15%-Off almost all options/extras/upgrades/add-ons/longer-terms you choose to add
- Offer may or may not be combinable if there are Special Sale Items/Domains in Your Cart also
- Special Sale Domains appear in the domain search with a
strikethroughprice, then a lower price, e.g.:$24.99$7.99 -
Remember your discount price on qualifying item won't show in the line item in Cart, nor before you reach the cart -- your discount for those products is reflected only in the Cart's (pre-tax) Subtotal line
- In most cases, though not all, a minimum purchase of 12 months of the qualifying product is required for the free domain nameIn such cases, if you change the term length of qualifying product in the cart to fewer months the cart may re-price the domain at the lower of normal or sale price (instead of FREE at $0.00) If that occurs, you can usually restore the $0.00 domain price by changing the qualifying product's term-length back to 12 months (or whatever was the minimum qualifying) right there in your cart

Making Sure You Get Your Deal As Offered
Putting the "Fine Print" in Huge Type. Making it Actually Helpful.
Making Sure Your Domain is FREE in the Cart:
Easy stuff here. The Qualifying Product you added to your Cart needs to stay in the your Cart and be part of the purchase at the minimum qualifying term length — usually just 12 months, often fewer. The product page where you chose your plan will always show the minimum needed.
If the Domain Doesn't Appear as Free in the Cart: Check the obvious things first...
- Make sure the product term is the correct length. You can change the number of months in the cart if for some reason it's too short a length to qualify, or longer than you wish to purchase.
- You do need to have that qualifying product in your cart. Make sure it got auto-added when you clicked on it to get here, and/or didn't get accidently deleted.
- If the qualifying product isn't in the Cart, no problem. Just go to its product page — found on our Main Menu always showing atop every page — and just re-add the product.
- Make sure the Non-Domain item you added to the cart truly qualifies for a Free .COM — again see the product page. For example, the $1.27 Starter cPanel & Plesk plans don't qualify, but all six other cPanel/Plesk Hosting plans do qualify, from Economy and up.
- Make sure the free domain you added to the cart has one of the TLDs (extensions) included in this promotion, which are: .COM, .ORG, .NET, .CO or .IN.
- Make sure the free domain you choose in the Search Results is at regular price, and not a Premium Domain (one being sold by an third-party our interface. You'll know a Premium Domain when you see one — they're labeled Premium Domain and much higher priced.
- If you delete a Free domain from the Cart for any reason, you can re-add it from any find a domain search page — found on our Main Menu under Domains. The Cart will price it as free.
Do Separate Transactions When Things Don't Price Right:
- Extra Domains in Cart? While you can buy as many domains as you like in a transaction, only one is free for each qualifying product and only one per transaction. So if you want several items plus a free domain for each, buy each item/free-domain pair in a separate transaction.
- If you have multiple domains in one of these free-domain transactions, the Cart decides which domain is free, so if it didn't pick the most expensive one to price at $0.00, just do a separate transaction later for the other domains you want.
- And don't worry, because you always get 15%-Off the price shown in the Search Results for any domain not already on sale.
- Make sure any products/domains of any kind you add as extras to a free-domain transaction are not on a special sale or promo. The Cart is set to prevent discount-stacking, so in such cases it might not give the free domain, or it might remove special rates we offer on virtually every item.
- SOLUTION: Buy additional items in separate transactions to avoid sale-item conflicts.
Ideas Worth Considering:
- You might want to go ahead and buy any additional domains you want right now, even if it's in a separate transaction. Because even when you buy them separately, you get 15%-Off the price shown in the Domain Search Results screens, so long as they aren't already on sale.
- We can't guarantee this forever, so you might want to lock in low pricing now.
Don't Let this Throw You:
Most items in your Cart will show a higher line-item price than you actually pay, but don't worry — just look down at the total amount at the bottom of the Cart. You'll see all those discounts reflected in that final total, which is the amount you pay. It's all discounted to advertised prices.
And if for some reason it doesn't match what's advertised, 99.9% of the time it's due to special sale/promo items mixed in with regular items. Just buy the special sale items separately and get the lowest prices possible on everything.
Since WHEN Does "FREE" Cost Me 18 Cents?
Since Early 2009, when ICANN cut its fee from 20¢ down to 18¢. For over 10 years now, the ICANN-imposed fee on Some Domains has been 18¢ and we dutifully collect and pass this amount to ICANN as required of every Registrar. Even on the Free domains because we actually pay for those. And yes, you read that amount correctly: The ICANN fee is a whopping 18 cents. Put another way, that's 18¢, also known as $0.18) in U.S. Dollar Currency.
If you change the currency of purchase to something other than US Dollars when you're in the Cart — Oh Yes! You can do that and buy in your own local Currency! — then the Cart will convert everything to that currency — including the 18¢ ICANN-imposed fee that affects many common domain names, though it doesn't affect country-code names (ccTLDs - 2 digits).
To summarize: A FREE DOMAIN costs 18 cents ICANN fee when that domain's TLD (extension) is one covered by ICANN, and that is most domains available other than 2-digit country-code domains.
Hope that clears things up on where that extra 18¢ on the bill came from, and to where it goes.
When Does This Expire? Are Even Better Deals Coming?
Frankly, we haven't the faintest clue. But we're fairly sure it's hard to beat FREE .COM Domains. And you have our assurance that we will Always Offer You the Lowest Price We Possibly Can amid conditions of a fluctuating marketplace.
So, Let's be Clear on the Ground Rules: All determinations made by the Shopping Cart are carved in granite, and when it looks wrong in the total amount, it's almost certainly because there too many different types of discounts mixed in on transaction. So... You know the drill: Buy each type of discounted item(s) in Separate Transactions for lowest prices.
Be aware that offers can and will change WITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE, EVEN IF this or any page or text or snippet or blurb haven't been updated. Final determination on rates, promos, specials, deals, sales, and freebies is made... by the Shopping Cart.
Most changes without notice are small ones: For example, a new qualifying domain-type might be added to the free list and/or one of these current qualifying TLDs might be deleted from the freebie offer.
You win some, you lose some. But, for as many years as we've offered this promotion, we have always offered .COM as the primary FREE TLD, and that's the one everybody wants, so anything added or removed likely won't affect you.
Other changes might be something like switching to a $1.99 .COM instead of a FREE .COM. But that kind of switch hasn't happened in our history on product terms of 12 months or longer.
What has often happened in the past is that we add new deals, sometimes on top of existing deals, and sometimes replacing existing deals. Many times we'll offer deals of $1.99 .COM domains for purchases of shorter terms on qualifying products., so people can try them out. And for those, the term can be as short as as 3 months, and for a time we even offered 1 month deals.
But the past is only prologue, and we make no guarantees on how long any deal will last, so we recommend you buy now and get the FREE .COM while it's around. 'Cause it ain't always around.
