May 17, 2005 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- According to research and analysis firm Netcraft (netcraft.com), some of the Web hosting industry's largest players now offer free domains names to customers who sign up for Web hosting accounts.

 

1&1 Internet is offering a free domain with its $4.99 hosting plans. Yahoo! is giving free domains for its $11.95 small business hosting package. Netfirms is offering two free domains with its $9.95 hosting plan. Meanwhile, Interland includes a free domain name with its Value Hosting plan, with the stipulation that customers pre-pay for a year.

 

The surge in free domain name offerings continues the recent trend of hosts drastically reducing domain pricing in order to attract customers. Netcraft says the free domain trend could also be a response to the moves of domain registrars, who have used reduced pricing on domains to expand into Web hosting.
