Default Is it reasonable to buy any hosting plans and get free domain?

I wanna ask you guys one question. It happened so that marblehost.com offers many free bonuses withing their hosting plans and I decided to know if it will be great to order any hosting plan and get free domain name.
Do you know anything about this company?
Will it be reasonable deal?

I just took a look at their website. I have never heard of them before but their plans seem ok to me. One thing you may need to keep in mind is you cannot pay per month.

"Monthly Price (if paid annually)"

This is the price for the business plan is really $79.89 USD

I would say if your not certain about a web host it is always best to pay monthly. I would rather pay more per month than pay for a year and end up moving 2 months in.

Apart from that the host seems ok.

marblehost is a well known company....no need to worry about it.. But regarding free domain name.. not have much idea.. But better take domain from good registrar like godaddy or enom... and make it in your name....its not much expensive an done time payment for 5 - 10 years... theis freed domain some time facing problem in ownership

I would advise to register your domain separately. I had an experience with another company and their free domain that I'd never want to repeat again. When I decided to end my hosting with them, I lost the domain too. I didn't have any plans for the domain, but its the principle of it. In all fairness, this was probably buried in the fine print somewhere, but just thought I'd share my experience as something to think about.

Marble hosting is ok but I really love hostgator for hosting I Have a few sites running on one account. I would chose the second option the hatchling which is only 8 bucks a month but if you pay it full year it comes out to 5 bucks. I don't like godaddy I used to have them and one issue I had with them is I had one spam complaint with them and I showed them proof that the person was double opted in ,Spam compliant and I personally addressed that persons issue myself. I still had to pay 500 bucks to get my site back from go daddy. So godaddy is a no no to me.

Namecheap is where I get all my domain names. Free Domain names I stay away from because of ownership issues that may come up.

I personally keep my domain names and hosting seperate. Just in case in the future if you have to change it in the future you can just simply change the name server to your new hosting and you are done

The websites that usually say "Free" domain name is usually because it requires you to purchase the yearly billing cycle, which guarantees your staying with them. Since they're sure they'll gain the profit, they can afford to provide you with a free domain name. As for the company, I've never seen before, but they look pretty professional.

If I were you, I would register a domain separately, as you get more freedom.

If you want to get a hosting package with free domain ,it is better to ask some questions clearly,such as how aout the renewal,how long will the free domain name go with you?One day when you want to transfer your domain name to another hosting provider how much should you pay?

Couldn't agree more than the above poster.

You need to ask them if the domain is registered on your name or not and if you will have to pay any fee to them to get it transferred to another registrar. You should be clear as far as all the details regarding the domain name are concerned.

Many hosting co. offers free domain name for first year along with their hosting package but in most cases you will get free domain name only on annul billing sign up's. Also ask the company about the domain name control panel access and the registrant details.
