How Free Domain Offers Actually Work
Yes for year one, then the market rate applies — the word free covers the first year only. The economics: hosting providers buy registrations at wholesale registry prices, so bundling a first-year domain into a hosting signup costs them a few hundred rupees and wins the customer. What to actually check before taking the bundle:
- Eligible TLDs — the free list is usually promotional TLDs, not .com.
- Renewal pricing — year two bills at the standard rate, whatever the first year said.
- Ownership terms — the domain must register in YOUR name, not the host's.
- Transfer-out rules — you should be able to leave with it after the 60-day window.
WebJi®'s bundle terms sit on the domain registration India hub, and the combined math in the domain and hosting cost guide.
Eligible TLDs and Their Catch
The eligible list per offer matters because renewal economics differ sharply by TLD:
| TLD | Indicative registration (₹/yr) | Indicative renewal (₹/yr) | Catch |
|---|---|---|---|
| .com | ₹900–1,200 | ₹1,000–1,400 | Rarely free; renewal is the budget line |
| .in | ₹500–800 | ₹700–1,000 | Commonly bundled free first year |
| .xyz / .online | ₹150–500 first yr | ₹800–1,400 | Big first-year-to-renewal jump |
| .co.in | ₹500–900 | ₹800–1,100 | Less frequently in offers |
A free .in with honest renewals is a good deal; a free .xyz with a ₹1,400 renewal is a teaser. Judge the three-year total, and confirm the renewal price before checkout — every honest host publishes it.
Year-1 vs Renewal: Real Cost Math
How this plays out with first-year free: settings that look cosmetic usually decide page speed and uptime under real traffic. The defaults WebJi® ships are tuned for Indian network conditions, and support can review your setup on request.

If You Cancel Hosting: What Happens
On renewal pricing, the honest summary is that defaults matter more than brand names — a well-set budget plan outranks a mis-tuned premium one. WebJi® documents its defaults openly and adjusts them per ticket when workloads need it.
Free Domain vs Buying Separately
Two practical notes on bundle terms: it interacts directly with caching and database response, and misconfiguration is the most common cause of 'hosting is slow' tickets. WebJi® support checks it as part of standard migrations.
