How to get a free domain name in 2026
The simplest way to get a free domain for a vacation rental is a website plan that includes it. With Stayveo you pay $9 a month and get your own domain, the hosting and your booking website. You pay only the subscription: the domain costs nothing extra, is registered in your name and is renewed free every year while you subscribe.

The short answer
Stayveo: $9 a month = your own domain + hosting + your booking website.
- Your domain is free. A .com, .net, .org, .eu or your country's own domain (.it, .es, .de, .fr and more), registered in your name.
- Hosting is included. A fast, secure site with HTTPS. Nothing to install, no DNS settings.
- Your booking website is included. Calendar sync with Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo, online payments into your own account, 0% commission.
- Free every year, not just the first: the domain is renewed at no cost while you subscribe, on monthly plans too.
- You pay only the subscription: $9 a month for one property, or $79 a year. The first 30 days are free.
How to get yours in 3 steps
- Pick a name. Type your rental's name in the free domain search: it shows names that are still free.
- Start the free trial. Your website works right away on a free yourname.stayveo.com address.
- Verify your property and subscribe. Paste your Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo or Agoda calendar link to verify it; when you subscribe we register the domain in your name and connect it to your website, usually within minutes.
The other ways to get a free domain
| Option | Free for | The catch |
|---|---|---|
| A domain included in a plan (Stayveo) | Every year while you subscribe | You pay for the plan, not for the domain |
| Free first year with a website builder or host (Wix, Squarespace) | The first year, often only on yearly plans | From the second year you pay the renewal, often $15 to $25 |
| A free sub-domain (yourname.stayveo.com, yourname.wixsite.com) | As long as the service runs | It carries the provider's name and you can't take it with you |
| A community-run name (eu.org, is-a.dev) | Free, after a manual review | Not a real top-level domain, slow to get, meant for non-commercial use |
| The old free .tk, .ml, .ga, .cf and .gq domains | Not free any more | Freenom ended its free offer in 2023 |

Before you take any "free domain" offer
- Is it registered in your name? Only then is it yours.
- What does it cost from the second year?
- Is it free on a monthly plan too, or only when you pay a year in advance?
- Can you take it with you? You should get the transfer code after the first 60 days, a registry rule for new domains.
Frequently asked questions
What is the easiest way to get a free domain for a vacation rental website?
Use a website plan that includes the domain. Stayveo costs $9 a month for one property and includes your own domain, the hosting and a booking website with calendar sync and online payments. You pay only the subscription; the domain is registered in your name and renewed free every year while you subscribe.
Is the domain really free with Stayveo?
Yes. You pay only the subscription ($9 a month or $79 a year for one property). The domain costs nothing extra, on monthly plans too: .com, .net, .org, .eu or your country's domain at its normal price. Premium names aren't offered.
Can I get a free .com domain?
Yes. Website builders and hosts usually give a .com free for the first year on yearly plans, then you pay the renewal. With a plan that includes the domain, such as Stayveo, it stays free every year while you subscribe.
Is there a domain that is free forever?
Not a real top-level domain: every registry charges a yearly fee, so someone always pays it. A domain included in a subscription is free as long as you subscribe; free sub-domains cost nothing but carry the provider's name.
What happened to Freenom and free .tk domains?
Freenom stopped its free .tk, .ml, .ga, .cf and .gq domains in 2023 after a lawsuit by Meta over phishing, and left the business in 2024. In 2026 it reappeared selling .tk, .cf and .gq domains, but not for free.
If I cancel, do I keep the domain?
Yes, it is registered in your name. It stays yours until the end of its paid year, and you can renew it yourself or move it to another registrar (new domains can't move in their first 60 days, a registry rule).
