Website builder with a free domain and SSL included
Every paid Neweb plan comes with a domain name and an SSL certificate for the first year. This page explains exactly what that covers, what happens in year two, and how the offer compares with other builders that advertise a free domain.
No card on the Free plan · Paid plans from $9/mo billed yearly
Does Neweb include a free domain?
Yes. Every paid Neweb (neweb.ai) plan includes a free domain and SSL certificate for the first year, alongside an AI-built website and managed WordPress hosting. Starter costs $9/month billed yearly ($19 month-to-month). The domain is free for one year, not for life: it renews at a regular yearly price afterwards. The Free plan does not include a domain.
| Free domain | Included for the first year on Starter, Growth and Agency |
|---|---|
| SSL | Included for the first year with the domain |
| After year one | The domain renews at a yearly price; see the pricing page for terms |
| Cheapest plan with a domain | Starter: $9/mo billed yearly or $19 monthly |
| Free plan | No domain; preview only |

"Free domain" always means "free for the first year"
No reputable builder gives away a domain permanently, because registries charge for every year a name is held. What builders can do is absorb the first year's fee when you buy a plan. That is the offer at Neweb, and at Wix, Squarespace and Hostinger too. The useful questions are what you must buy to qualify and what the name costs from year two.
At Neweb the qualifying purchase is any paid plan, including month-to-month Starter. The domain arrives together with the SSL certificate and the site it points to, so there is no separate DNS setup between buying the name and seeing the site on it. The pricing page lists the domain extensions on offer and the renewal terms.

Who it is for, and who should pick something else
A good fit if
- New businesses that do not own a domain yet
- Owners who want the domain, SSL, hosting and site handled in one purchase
- People who have been burned by connecting a domain bought elsewhere to a builder
- Anyone who wants HTTPS working from the first day without configuring it
Pick something else if
- You already own your domain and only want the cheapest place to point it: compare entry plans in the price comparison.
- You want the lowest multi-year price with a domain thrown in: Hostinger is cheaper if you prepay.
- You want a domain with no website at all: buy it from a registrar. The guide on how to get a free domain covers every legitimate route.
- You are choosing mainly on design templates: Squarespace also bundles a first-year domain on annual plans.

What to check before accepting any free domain
Four details decide whether a free domain is a good deal. First, the renewal price in year two, which is when the offer ends everywhere. Second, who is listed as the owner of the name: it should be you. Third, whether you can transfer the domain away if you leave the builder. Fourth, which extensions are eligible, since premium names are normally excluded. Ask these of every provider, Neweb included; the answers for Neweb are on the pricing page and in its FAQ.
Choosing the name itself
The free year matters less than picking a name you will keep for ten. Short, easy to spell aloud and close to the business name beats clever. If the exact name is taken, the domain name generator suggests available variations, and the guide on picking a domain explains which extensions customers trust. The glossary has short entries on domain names and SSL certificates if either term is new.

More ways to use Neweb
Website builder with free domain questions
Which website builder gives a free domain?
Several do for the first year: Neweb on every paid plan, and Wix, Squarespace and Hostinger on annual or longer plans, as of November 2026. None gives a domain free forever.
Is the Neweb domain free forever?
No. It is free for the first year on paid plans. After that it renews at a yearly price; the pricing page explains the renewal terms.
Do I get a free domain on the Free plan?
No. The Free plan lets you explore the dashboard and preview your AI-built site. The domain comes with Starter, Growth and Agency.
Is SSL included?
Yes. SSL is included with the domain for the first year on paid plans, so the site loads over HTTPS.
Can I use a domain I already own?
If you already have a domain, ask Neweb support how to connect it before you subscribe; this page only covers the domain included with paid plans.
What does a domain normally cost?
A standard .com usually costs somewhere between $10 and $20 a year at a registrar. That is the amount a first-year-free offer saves you.
How do I know if my domain is available?
Search it in the free domain checker. It shows availability and flags names that are hard to spell or remember.
