Claim Your Free .design Domain.
Everyone is familiar with .com and .net, but did you know you get your own free .design domain? Because it’s a fairly new domain, there are still plenty of short .design names available. So the good news is, you can shorten or improve your existing branding by switching to the .design domain. Eg. johnsmithdesign.com -> johnsmith.design You can also get your own unique email address such as [email protected] or you can even use it as a clever redirect to another site, like a Behance profile. porkbun_1

Get Your FREE .design Domain

We have teamed up with Porkbun to offer all Webdesigner Depot subscribers a free .design domain name. The first year is free, and yearly renewals will be just $35 instead of the $70 offered at some registrars. You also get:
  • Free email hosting – you can add an email address (or multiple addresses!) that matches your domain name. For example, [email protected] or [email protected], or any other name you want.
  • SSL Security – An SSL certificate will encrypt your visitors’ sensitive data, and also display your site with “HTTPS” in your address bar, which will let visitors know that you’ve made their security your top priority. You’ll also avoid the “NOT SECURE” label from Google.
  • Free WHOIS Privacy – Your contact information will be private, and protected forever. Other registrars charge you for this. PorkBun won’t.
  • Free website builder – If you want to build your .design website with no code, you can build it for free using their site builder, powered by Weebly. And with this option you don’t have to pay for website hosting.
  • Free domain connection – Whether you built your website (or plan to build it) with other services like WIX, SquareSpace, or Weebly, you can easily connect your .design domain to your website platform. Your website content will stay exactly the same, but you’ll have a modern .design domain name for your website to show off!
Here’s your chance to get a free website domain name that reflects what you do and helps you showcase your work. porkbun_2 YES! I WANT MY FREE .DESIGN DOMAIN NAME!
