Green Geeks offers a Free Domain name for life which is explained in the
knowledge base article:Free
Domain for Life Explained. Green Geeks also allows customers to host an
unlimited amount of domain names through the addon domain function in the
client's control panel and you can find articles regarding addon domains at: Addon
Domains. If a Green Geeks customer would like to have another domain name
purchased as an addon or a parked domain name they can do so at the cost of
$9.50/yr per domain. The customer would need to open an account at
GreenGeeksDomains and purchase the domain there or they can purchase the domain
name at another registrar and point the DNS to the Green Geeks name server
settings for the domain to be able to go live on our servers.
3) Whether you have had Green Geeks register your domain name or if you register the domain name yourself at GreenGeeksDomains.com it is the responsibility of our customers to ensure that their
domain names are renewed, if you want help ensuring that your domain
name has been renewed please contact a Green Geeks service
representative. Green Geeks does renew domains for our customers,
however because of the intellectual property value of those domains the
ultimate responsibility to make sure that the domain has been renewed
is the customer's responsibility. You may find the renewal date for your domain names by going to http://whois.domaintools.com/ and typing your domain name into the domain look up field
Please be sure to write down the expiration date of your domain and
ensure that it gets renewed. If you have 1 or 2 domains we recommend
you using a calendar to alert you as to when your domain will renew. If
you have more than a few domains you may want to keep a document with
each domain and renewal date to make sure you follow up on the renewal
of your domains. You can always contact a Green Geeks representative
for answers to questions on your domain renewal.
You can view your domain's expiration date by typing in your domain name at: Whois.sc
and look for the domain expiration date. Your domain renewal date
should update within 48 hours of renewing that domain.
4) Transferring your domain name; it is the client's responsibility
to ensure that their domain is fully transferred to Green Geeks. When
you sign up with Green Geeks you may sign up with an existing domain
name and you can either leave that domain at it's current domain
registrar or you can transfer that domain name to the Green Geeks'
registrar. Green Geeks does not automatically transfer domain names to
our registrars when our clients sign up for an account using an
existing domain name. Green Geeks representatives do assist with the
domain transfer for our clients.
Please note that domain names cannot be transferred within 60 days
after a domain name has been purchased or renewed and domains cannot be
transferred within 14 days prior to a domain name's renewal, those
domains are effectively locked at those times.
5) You are only eligible for only One free domain name for life. That domain is either a new domain OR a transferring domain.
8) Additional domains purchased through Green Geeks are $24.95/domain/year.
