Every Flashcloud hosting plan comes with a free domain for life. Register an eligible domain with your hosting and it stays free for as long as you keep the hosting active - the first year and every renewal after it.
The one exception: monthly shared hosting
There is a single exception. On a shared hosting plan billed monthly, a free domain is not included at all. Every other case - shared hosting on any longer cycle, and every VPS or Dedicated Server plan - includes the free-for-life domain.
There is no "free for one year only" option. A domain that comes free with hosting is free for life.
How "free for life" works
- The domain registers at $0.00 when you order eligible hosting.
- It renews free every year, for as long as you keep hosting with us.
- If you cancel hosting, the domain stays registered through its current expiry, then renews at standard pricing. You can also transfer it out to another registrar if you prefer.
How it shows up at checkout
When you order hosting and pick an eligible domain:
- The domain registration line appears on your invoice with a price.
- We zero it out - the line reads "Domain Registration - yourdomain.com - 1 Year (Free with hosting)".
- Your invoice total reflects only the hosting cost, not the domain.
The order form tells you exactly what's eligible the moment you pick a hosting plan and a billing cycle. No guessing.
Domains we charge for, even with hosting
A free domain covers the common generics - .com, .net, .org and most standard TLDs. Some names cost more at the wholesale level than the free bundle absorbs, so they show up on the order form at their normal price:
- Premium TLDs (
.io,.ai, sometimes.co). - Country-codes outside the standard list.
- Premium-priced individual names within a TLD - for example a one-word
.comthe registry has tagged as premium. - TLDs with permanently higher renewals - a domain can be cheap to register and expensive to renew.
You can still register these as part of your order, just not for free.
Multi-domain orders
If you're registering several domains alongside hosting, only the first domain in the order qualifies for the free bundle. Additional domains in the same checkout are charged at standard rates.
Want a second free domain? Open a ticket with billing - we sometimes have promotions that aren't in the standard order form.
Transferring in an existing domain
Transfer-in domains don't count for the free-domain bundle - the transfer fee still applies, and the bundle is specifically for new registrations. If you're moving from another host, our Free Transfer service can move your full website and email setup.
