Free .DESIGN domain and email hosting for a year

It's really free, what's the catch?

it's totally free for 1 year of usage. You will only be taken $1 dollar to secure your card, then it will be refunded.

Getting stuck paying 35 USD yearly when you could have payed less than 9 with the same provider for a better known tld like ".com"

I had such idea firstly, but there is an issue with popular providers like ".com"

You can't find good free website names. So in our case, we took .io domain, which costs us $50/year. That's very expensive, but we have branded website name on .io

so $35 yearly s a good deal, if you find there free and good name. I will not switch from our current $50 .io domain because it's cool.

and when we bought .io 2.5 years we spent several days looking for a cheaper option. For dev tool having some shitty website name or provider is suck

Wow! Looks like an awesome opportunity for the personal design portfolio site.

nice deal for folks, who need .design domain for portfolio, design & development tools or blog.

After the year it will cost $35, which is still a nice deal. Hope, it will be useful for someone.

Love it!
