Important things to note 

This domain name will be eligible for the free domain registration promotion if you transfer the domain to HostPapa’s domain registrar service and if you purchase an annual shared hosting plan. You will be required to follow the steps of transferring your domain to HostPapa’s registrar partner, as this is the only way HostPapa will be able to renew that domain on your behalf. For additional information about transferring your existing domain, check out this Knowledge Base article

The free domain registration covers only the first year of registration with HostPapa. After the first year has passed, it will be the customer’s responsibility to pay the required renewal fee.

Domain names are separate purchases from HostPapa web hosting services, and have annual renewal charges.

It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure their domain names are renewed. Please note the expiry date of your domain(s) and ensure that they do not expire.

When transferring a domain, it is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that HostPapa becomes the registrar of record. HostPapa will have no way to renew your domain if it is still registered with a different domain registrar. Please keep in mind that just because your web hosting account is active with HostPapa, it does not necessarily mean that the domain has been transferred to our service. Purchasing web hosting and domain registration are two separate processes.

You are only eligible for one free domain registration. This domain must be either a new domain or a transferring domain.

Premium domains are not eligible for free registration.

Please make sure you are aware of the Terms of Service applicable to different TLDs.

If you need help with your HostPapa account, please open a support ticket from your dashboard.
