Get Your First Domain Free
Why Give Away 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.
Your first domain is free, and we'll pay its renewals. You don't have to buy anything else. It's a leg up we provide for your business on day one.
Your free domain comes with a complete identity for your business, including a website, business email, phone line, and brand protection.
We’re the largest business to business provider in the US. We have no investors or shareholders to suck up to. We can do whatever we want.
A Domain Service Built the Right Way
One Platform. One Identity
With your free domain, you'll get a Northwest account for managing your business. Buy additional domains, set up a website, form an LLC and more. All in one place.
Ownership & Control
We build all of our services ourselves, from scratch. That means open source technologies that you control, not proprietary systems that hook you into expensive plans.
Expert Guidance
We're a completely in-house operation staffed by an army of expert Corporate Guides®. And we love to talk shop. Call or email us. A real person will answer you every time.
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.

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 (so 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.
