Why We're Giving Out Free Domains
We want to see millions of people start a business at pretty close to zero. For as little money as possible. Because we think standing up a business should be simple and accessible to anyone willing to try.
You’re independent, like us. Everything we offer is designed to keep you that way—in full control of your business.
Starting a business is expensive. A free domain gets your foot in the door and allows you to start making moves on day one.
We’re the largest Corporate Business Filing service in the US. We have no investors or shareholders to suck up to. We can do whatever we want.
What You Get with a Domain Name from Northwest
A Truly Free Domain
Your first domain stays free for the life of your account. You don't have to buy anything else. No trials. No renewal fees. Just free, free, free.
Ownership & Control
We build all of our services in-house, from scratch. That means open source technologies that you control, not proprietary systems that hook you into expensive plans.
One Platform
With your free domain, you'll get a Northwest account with a single, clean dashboard for setting up your Business Identity. Buy and manage additional domains, set up a website, form and LLC and more. All in one place.
Domain Privacy, By Default
Your personal information stays off of WHOIS databases for free. Because we’re independently owned, we can list our business information instead of yours where it would otherwise be public.

Frequently Asked Questions
A domain is a unique web address that users type into their internet browser to find a website. For example, our website domain is northwestregisteredagent.com.
Each domain corresponds to the numerical IP address of a specific website, giving users an easy way to find the content they’re looking for. Domains are composed of a top-level domain (TLD) such as .com or .net, and a second-level domain (SLD) such as northwestregisteredagent.
Your domain is to your website what your address is to your house. Customers will use your domain (like northwestregisteredagent.com) to get to your website.
Having a domain is necessary to set up a website and a professional email address. While you can run a business without them, a polished site and branded email make you look established and credible and help build your brand.
It doesn’t matter. If you have an idea but you’re not ready to form an LLC with the state, go ahead and secure your domain. That way, no one else can snag it. But if you’re ready to form an LLC, our LLC formation service includes a free domain. So you can do both at the same time.
As many as you’d like. Your first domain is free and you can register up to 20 domains with your first order. Afterwards, you can add as many domains as you want from within your private account.
Choose a primary domain that closely matches your idea or business name. Then, secure key variations, common typos, and extra TLDs (like .org or .company) to boost search visibility and prevent impersonators.
Domain privacy is the practice of keeping your information off the public domain directory WHOIS. At Northwest, we automatically keep your name and phone number private with your domain order to help you avoid spammers and scammers.
For your free domain, your renewals are free as long as you keep your domain with us. For the rest, annual costs depend on your extension. We keep things transparent, with no teaser rates or rug pulls. You’ll see the annual price up front and get renewal reminders well in advance. If a registry changes its wholesale rate, we’ll let you know before renewal.
Yes! Your first domain is free up to a $25 value and we’ll also cover your domain renewal as long as you keep your domain with us.
We want to enable you to start your business as cheaply as possible and be there to grow with you on your journey.
