Short answer
Yes, on every Hostnali web hosting plan except Starter. Standard, Executive and Platinum include a free domain for the first year; you choose it at checkout and it renews at the normal domain price after that. On Starter, you register a domain separately or use one you already own.
Which plans include a free domain
| Plan | Free domain | Websites |
|---|---|---|
| Starter | No | 1 |
| Standard | Yes, first year | 5 |
| Executive | Yes, first year | Unlimited |
| Platinum | Yes, first year | Unlimited |
Standard costs RWF 58,520 a year with the domain included and hosts up to 5 websites, so it often works out better value than Starter plus a separate domain.
How to claim it
- Pick a Standard, Executive or Platinum plan on the web hosting page.
- At checkout, choose Register a new domain and search for the name you want, for example yourbusiness.co.rw or yourbrand.rw.
- Complete the order. The domain and hosting are set up together and already linked, so you can install WordPress right away.
What happens after the first year
The domain renews at the standard price for its extension, for example RWF 16,800 a year for .co.rw. A renewal invoice reaches you by email before the due date, and you can pay it by card, bank transfer or mobile money. Leave auto-renewal switched on so the name never lapses: an expired domain takes your website and email offline.
Already have a domain?
Keep it where it is and point it to your hosting, or transfer it to Hostnali so the domain and hosting are billed and supported in one place.
Good to know
- The domain is registered in your name, and you can move it to another registrar whenever you choose.
- Every plan also includes free SSL, so your site opens on https:// from the first day.
- On Starter, add a .co.rw domain from RWF 16,800.
