A domain name and a hosting plan allows you to create a home for your website online. The domain acts as a the address that allows people to find your website, while the hosting creates the foundation for it.
No, the cost to renew your plan remains the same and will already include the free domain name and email services.
While there are benefits to hosting on the cloud, it is important to know who has access to your information. As a Canadian web hosting provider, all our hosting servers, databases and offices are located north of the 49th parallel and are only subject to and protected by the strict privacy laws of Canada. This ensures that data stored in our servers are protected from foreign laws and programs that may attempt to gain access to information without our customers' knowledge or consent.

Each of our web hosting plans include free apps like WordPress, Drupal and Joomla that you can install with a single click of a button.
Our website builder uses themes and templates so you can quickly build a website on your own. You can add content and features to it by using the drag-and-drop editor.
The term "Unlimited" is commonly used by the hosting industry to denote that your website(s) will be provided as much storage or bandwidth as they need. Unlike many hosting shared providers, Webnames partition our servers equally. When someone signs up for a hosting plan, they get allocated their own section of a server dedicated entirely to them, and them only. If a hosting customer maximizes their allocated space, they can simply request additional storage from Webnames' Customer Support team as per our As Much As You Need (AMAYN) policy. Read more about What Unlimited Hosting Means and How It Works and refer to our Hosting Terms and Conditions for complete details.
