Yes, but you should offer it only in yearly payments.

Agreed, unless it is an expensive monthly package

We are a small host but our market allows us to offer only yearly plans, and we do offer free domain names with any hosting plan. Offering this on a monthly plan I believe would be too risky, from a web host standpoint. If clients asks for a refund then it means you are basically losing the amount you paid to register for the domain name.

Usually a hosting company gives a free domain to a customer in their promotin program...
mybe, better you must check a website to know about that promotion...

Thanks

You can actually find cheap domains around the net.

Of course, they earn it back from your hosting package.

Agree. Free domains should only be offered in yearly payments.

Why is that? Some people have discounted on domain name prices and can offer it on monthly cycles.

Thanks nice info.I guess it can't hurt to test it. Offer it as some sort of special, see how sales go.

This is a great discussion. We are just about to start selling domains as well as hosting. I think we are going to be taking the hire price root since we imagine our existing customers will be happy to pay a bit more thus keeping domains and hosting together.

As others have mentioned it's always a good idea to offer a free domain with plans paid annually.

Good advice here, thanks
