Does web hosting come with a free domain?

Which plans include a free domain

Plan	Free domain	Websites
Starter	No	1
Standard	Yes, first year	5
Executive	Yes, first year	Unlimited
Platinum	Yes, first year	Unlimited

Standard costs $35.07 a year with the domain included and hosts up to 5 websites, so it often works out better value than Starter plus a domain paid for separately.

How to claim it

1. Pick a Standard, Executive or Platinum plan on the web hosting page.
2. At checkout, choose Register a new domain and search for the name you want, such as yourbusiness.com or yourbusiness.africa.
3. Complete the order. Your domain and hosting are set up together and already connected, so you can install WordPress straight away.

Prefer a Zimbabwean address? Zimbabwe’s .co.zw and other .zw domains need an application to the Zimbabwean registry; ask our team and we’ll help.

After the first year

The domain renews at the normal price for its extension, for example $17.62 a year for a .com. You get a renewal invoice by email before it’s due, which you can pay by card, bank transfer or mobile money. Keep auto-renewal on so the name never lapses: an expired domain takes your website and email offline with it.

Already own a domain?

Leave it where it is and point it to your hosting, or transfer it to Hostnali so your domain and hosting are billed and supported in one place.

Good to know

• The domain is registered in your name, and you can move it to another registrar whenever you like.
• Every plan includes free SSL as well, so your site opens on https:// from day one.
• On Starter, add a .com domain from $14.93.
