Host your domain
For anyone looking at being present online, picking the right hosting plan is important. The included free domain helps get your web project set up and online in no time.
There are a number of free hosts available who can help you create a website on one of their subdomains without any upfront costs.
However, if you find that your site is slow to load, inundated with unwanted advertising, or there is a lack of customer support available, then you should consider switching to a paid provider. See how we stack up to the competition.
Plan example: Business
- .us, .ca, .com, .net, .org, .info, .me, .biz, .online
- FREE domain privacy for eligible domains
- Free Wildcard SSL Certificate
- Unlimited storage
- Unlimited databases
- Email account included
- HTTP/2 protocol
Create a website and domain
If you're looking at creating a website using an easy-to-use drag and drop website builder, then a MyWebsite plan is the right choice for you.
All plans come with a free domain and email account, stunning templates optimized for mobile devices, and built-in tools that will help you reach the right audience.
Among other features, the product allows you to offer your site in multiple languages, and helps you keep in touch with your visitors through customer review widgets.
Plan example: Starter
- .us, .ca, .com, .net, .org, .info, .me, .biz, .online
- FREE domain privacy for eligible domains
- Free Wildcard SSL Certificate

Set up an email address
Having the right domain address is key when it comes to communicating via email. An email address such as:
john.smith@your-business.com,
will leave potential customers with the impression that you mean business, especially when compared to competitors with addresses like:
johnny.s.33-1985@mailfree.com.
All our email plans come with a free domain bundled in.
Plan example: Mail Basic 1
- .us, .com, .net, .online
- 1 ad-free email account
- Spam filter
- Webmail
- Synchronized on all devices
- 24/7 expert support

Free domain names — FAQ
IONOS is always running offers and other deals that add value and save you money. Not long ago, users could get a free .com domain extension when they registered a two-year domain in advance. IONOS has also had free first-year deals on .us domain extensions, although this special offer was only available to customers with a bonafide US presence. It's important to check back often as we're always posting new deals on domain names and other products.
Yes, there is a list of free domains. Because we've integrated them into our plans and packages, you can get these same FREE domains included at no extra cost. Here's a list of extensions that are available as complimentary add-on domain names:
First of all, IONOS is not a free domain name service provider in general. We usually have very competitive pricing for our domain customers; however, you will not be able to enjoy free domains all the time. The reason we can occasionally give away domains at little or no cost is that our large customer base enables us to attract a lot of registries that work with us.
One example of such cooperation might be a registry that launches a new TLD but does not intend to do all of the marketing and sales activities by themselves. Nevertheless they would like to see quick growth in their user base and to reach this goal they give IONOS very attractive offers. Then, for example, we can sometimes offer free domain registration.
On the one hand, this is a great opportunity for our customers to benefit from fantastic offers, on the other hand it can evoke the wrong impression about the hosting industry in general. In the long run, it is impossible to offer free domain name registration and cheap web hosting services at a high quality level.
Yes, there are packages and plans that include a free domain for the life of the plan. Currently, this is possible with our email plans.
