Web Hosting Plans with Free Domain Included
Purchasing both hosting and a domain name can increase costs when setting up a new website. For this reason, many entrepreneurs and small businesses prefer web hosting plans that offer a free domain for the first year. HostedFly web hosting plans offer high-performance NVMe SSD infrastructure, free SSL certificates, and an easy-to-manage control panel, along with the advantage of a free domain on selected packages.
Thanks to the free domain campaign, you won't pay extra costs when starting your project and can use your domain directly linked to your hosting account. This allows you to activate your site in minutes without dealing with DNS settings, getting your e-commerce, blog, or corporate website online quickly.

What is a Cheap Domain Name?
A "cheap domain name" refers to domain extensions (TLDs) that are available at a lower price point compared to traditional extensions like .com or .net. Often, newer extensions like .xyz, .site, or .online offer significant savings for the first year, making them ideal for startups, students, and budget-conscious projects.
At HostedFly, we ensure that paying less doesn't mean getting less. You get the same enterprise-grade DNS management, security, and support regardless of the price of your domain.
Renewal Price Transparency
Many registrars lure you in with a $0.99 domain but hide the high renewal fees. At HostedFly, we believe in 100% transparency.
While the first-year price for many "cheap domains" is discounted, the renewal price is standard. We display all renewal prices upfront so you can plan your budget accordingly. You can check our pricing table anytime to see the long-term cost of your domain.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is buying a cheap domain name safe?
Absolutely. A low price does not mean compromised security. All domains registered through HostedFly are fully secured according to international standards and are registered 100% in your name.
Are renewal prices different?
Yes, as is standard in the industry, the first-year registration fee for some promo extensions (like .xyz, .site) is lower than the renewal fee. However, at HostedFly, there are no surprises; all renewal prices are transparently listed on our pricing page.
Can I use my domain immediately after purchase?
Yes. Once your payment is approved, the registration process is automatic, and your domain usually becomes active within minutes. You can update DNS settings or link it to your hosting package immediately.
Does a cheap domain affect SEO performance?
No, Google does not give a direct ranking advantage based on the extension (.com vs .xyz). The main factors determining your SEO performance are your content quality, site speed, and user experience.
Can I use my domain with a different hosting provider?
Yes, you can register your domain via HostedFly and point the DNS (NameServers) to any hosting provider you wish. This can be done in seconds via your domain management panel.
What happens if my domain expires?
Expired domains aren't deleted immediately, but your website will go offline. You have a grace period to renew it. If not renewed within this period, the domain will eventually be released and become available for others to register.
Can I transfer my domain ownership to someone else?
Yes, you are the legal owner. You can transfer ownership (internal transfer) via the HostedFly panel anytime or get an EPP code to transfer the domain to another registrar.
Are documents required to register a domain?
For 99% of popular generic extensions like .com, .net, .org, and .xyz, no documents or ID verification are required. Registration works on a "first come, first served" basis.
Why Choosing the Right Domain Defines the Future of Your Business?
A website's success is often associated with content quality, speed, and user experience; however, the starting point of all these elements is the right domain name. As your domain name is your brand's identity in the digital world, it makes it easier for users to remember you and helps search engines categorize your site correctly. Especially when launching a new startup, choosing a domain name that is short, memorable, and aligned with target keywords contributes positively to SEO performance in the long run.
Thanks to the right domain choice, brand awareness can increase rapidly, direct traffic can be generated, and user trust rises significantly. Therefore, the domain purchase process should be approached not just as a technical transaction, but as a strategic investment.
Advantages of Modern Domain Extensions
Traditional extensions have formed the standard structure of the internet for many years; however, next-generation domain extensions that have emerged in recent years offer significant opportunities, especially for low-cost and brand-oriented projects. Thanks to new extensions, many previously taken short and memorable domain names have become available again, allowing entrepreneurs to easily access creative name alternatives.
Some of the advantages offered by modern extensions include:
- More affordable initial costs
- The ability to choose a domain perfectly aligned with the brand name
- A naming structure that directly reflects the project category
- Fast-start opportunities for newly established projects
These advantages are particularly valuable for startup projects, blogs, portfolio sites, and small businesses.
Domain Investment for Long-Term Brand Value
A domain name is not just a technical requirement, but also an investment that can be considered a digital asset. A well-chosen domain can gain brand value over time and, in some cases, find buyers at high prices in the secondary domain market. Therefore, short, memorable, and industry-related domains are always considered more valuable.
For projects aiming to build a strong brand in the long run, domain selection is a strategic step that should be planned before advertising and marketing investments. A well-chosen domain makes it easier for users to remember the brand, generates direct traffic, and reduces digital marketing costs.
