Right. He has mistaken hosting features for domain registration features. Domains and hosting always needs to be renewed. Domains are minimum for a year, hosting is minimum for a month. But for convenience, people pay annual charges even for hosting

And yes, here's a little SP I am a DirectI reseller.

BTW, this is what I think generally on domains and especially on free domains!

You should NEVER fall for a free domain, unless you have complete control over it. You should be able to change DNS or transfer to any other registrar at your will! And what is the cost of a .com/.net these days? Just about Re. 1 per day!! And .in about Rs. 2 per day!! Is that very expensive? The person who controls the domain, controls the site!! Why take free domains? Afterall your sites are known by the domain name and not the IP of your hosting server!
