For almost forty years, .com has been the internet’s most valuable address. It’s the extension people type first, the one businesses still trust, and the one that carries credibility worldwide. Normally, a .com domain costs money to register and renew.
Right now, Freename’s Web2 launch includes a limited-time promotion where you can claim two free .com domains. Here’s how it works, how it connects to Freename’s Web3 domains integration, and why it’s different from anything traditional registrars offer.
How to Get a Free .com Domain
The promotion is tied to Web3 domain registrations. To qualify, simply:
- Visit freename.com.
- Add at least $300 worth of Web3 domains to your cart.
- Enter the promo code WEB50 at checkout.
- You receive 50% off all Web3 domains and get two free .com domains added to your account.
With this limited-time offer, you can build a Web3 portfolio at half the cost and at the same time secure free .com domains you can use right away.
Don’t Want to Spend on Web3 Domains Yet?
If you’re not ready to commit $300 to Web3 names, there’s another option. You can still move your existing Web2 domains, like a .com domain you already own, into Freename. On each transfer, you can earn $10 credit and unlock Freename’s real advantage: running Web2 and Web3 together in one place.
Why Transfer .com Domain to Freename
Most registrars only cover renewals, DNS, and email. Freename goes further by introducing Web3 domains integration. Users can register or transfer a .com domain (or other Web2 extensions) into Freename and manage it in the same dashboard as their Web3 names.
Once inside Freename, a .com domain is tokenized on-chain. That allows it to:
- Serve as a wallet address for crypto payments.
- Be verified through blockchain ownership records.
- Function inside dApps and Web3 websites.
- Continue supporting traditional uses like websites and email.
You don’t lose what makes .com valuable; you expand it and allow you to benefit from features that almost no traditional domain registrars offer.
How to Transfer a .com Domain
If you already own a .com domain, you can bring it into Freename. The process is almost identical across registrars:
- Unlock your domain in your registrar’s settings.
- Request the EPP/Auth code (the transfer-out code).
- Start the transfer in Freename by pasting the code in the Domain Transfers section.
- Approve by email when your registrar asks for confirmation.
- Wait 5–7 days for the move to complete.
When the transfer is complete, your .com domain appears in your Freename portfolio and is automatically tokenized on-chain, giving it Web3 features without losing Web2 functions.
Final Takeaway
If you’re building out a Web3 portfolio, the promo gives you two free .com domains when you spend $300 on Web3 names with the code WEB50. It’s a simple way to lock down trusted .com addresses while expanding into Web3 at half the cost.
If you’d rather start smaller, you can transfer a .com domain you already own. The cost is about $10, the same as a renewal, and once the transfer is complete, your domain is minted on-chain. From that point, your .com isn’t just for a website and email; it can also act as a wallet, show on-chain ownership, and plug into dApps.
Either route shows the difference between Freename and traditional registrars: .com doesn’t lose its role, it gains new ones.
