Can you get a free domain with Canadian hosting?
Yes. DotMoose currently has two annual WordPress Hosting offers: a first-year .com or .ca registration with a qualifying annual WordPress Hosting service. Each offer covers one standard, non-premium registration for one year; renewals are charged at the ordinary domain renewal price.
Existing customers can use them
You do not need a new DotMoose account. An existing customer can qualify when purchasing a new eligible annual hosting service and domain registration together.
The domain is free for year one only
The registration charge is C$0 for the first year. Domain renewal after year one uses the ordinary renewal price in effect at renewal.
Two annual offers
Pick the domain ending that fits your WordPress site.
Both offers use DotMoose WordPress Hosting on Canadian infrastructure with Canadian-dollar billing; choose .com for a general-purpose address or .ca when the registrant qualifies and wants a clearly Canadian domain.
WPCOM
Free first-year .com with WordPress Hosting
Yes. DotMoose waives the first-year registration charge for one standard, non-premium .com when it is ordered with a new annual WordPress Hosting service. WordPress is installed automatically, while the domain renews at the ordinary .com renewal price after year one.
See eligibility, plans and terms →WPCAFree first-year .ca with WordPress Hosting
Yes. DotMoose waives the first-year registration charge for one standard, non-premium .ca when it is ordered with a new annual WordPress Hosting service. WordPress is installed automatically, and the domain renews at the ordinary .ca renewal price after year one. CIRA Canadian Presence Requirements still apply.
See eligibility, plans and terms →.ca or .com?
Choose the domain for the audience, not just the discount.
.ca for a clearly Canadian identity
A .ca can make a Canadian focus obvious in the address itself. Registration is restricted by CIRA Canadian Presence Requirements, so the registrant must qualify.
.com for a broader general-purpose address
A .com is widely recognized and does not carry the same Canadian-presence requirement. It can be a practical choice for sites that expect a mixed Canadian and international audience.
Either can use Canadian hosting
The domain extension and hosting location are separate choices. Both .com and .ca domains can use DotMoose Canadian hosting.

What both annual offers have in common.
Is the domain free forever?
No. One eligible standard .ca or .com registration is C$0 for the first year. The domain renews at DotMoose's ordinary renewal price after year one.
Can I use monthly hosting?
No. These two offers require an eligible new WordPress Hosting service billed annually.
Are premium domains included?
No. Premium names, aftermarket purchases, transfers, restoration/redemption charges, extra domains, and unsupported extensions are not included.
Can I stack another promotion?
No. Promotion and program discounts do not stack on the same order.
Does a .ca require Canadian eligibility?
Yes. .CA registrations remain subject to CIRA Canadian Presence Requirements and the applicable registrant agreement.
Compare first
Pick the hosting plan you would keep after the promotion.
The free first-year domain is useful, but the ongoing hosting fit and renewal terms matter more than the first invoice.
