Then after u build traffic and work hard on getting the domain name well known online and your BW increases, it i time to rengotiate your contract and pay for the extra B/W
and u cannot switch to a new host without loosing your domain name to them, cause technically it is not yours, it is their's !!
All in all
A piece of advice, get your own domain name thru a registrar  |
This isn't a new way of marketing for hosting companies at all. They've been doing this as far back as 1999 that I can remember. Its best to ask them up front what happens to the domain should you decide in the future to leave their hosting. A domain is ten bucks, there is absolutely no way a free domain should play any role in deciding who you host with. Why on earth would anyone take all that time to develop a site around a domain they don't own?
