Overview

Hostinger is a web host that is also an ICANN-accredited registrar, with 500+ extensions and over 9 million domains registered. Its .com page offered the first year for $0.01 in September 2026, with renewal at $19.99 a year and a $0.20 ICANN fee; transfers in start at $9.99.

Free privacy protection is added automatically for supported extensions, and the .com details list RegistrarLock, IDN and DNSSEC support. Premium domain protection is sold as an add-on. The domain panel covers renewals, DNS settings and connecting the domain to a website or email, and support runs 24/7 over live chat and email in several languages.

Hostinger's .com page limits .com registrations to a maximum of three years. The first-year price is very low, but the $19.99 renewal is roughly double near-wholesale registrars, so the offer mainly suits people who are also buying Hostinger hosting, whose eligible plans include a free domain for the first year.
