FREE .Com .Net .Org Domain for Life

To make the deal sweeter and cheaper for clients, iFastNet offers free domains on specific plans- from six to twenty-one domains. There are two options to enjoy this incentive.  If you want to buy both domain and hosting, you will have multiple domain names for free with the package. Upon buying selected hosting plans the clients will get 1 free domain name with a mainstream extension (like .com, .net, etc.). In addition to that, they can opt for multiple subordinate extensions as well but the rest of the extensions don’t make any business sense due to their strange names like cc.nf, oo.gd, etc. which is unprofessional and difficult to remember. If you just need hosting then you can cash this offer in the form of a discount.

Economical Pricing is the USP

As for the prices, they are quite economical and some plans are even priced lower than the prevailing market rates. Additionally, the company also provides complementary products like SSL certificates and multiple domain names for free with selected hosting packages. If you are just starting and the price is your primary concern then it’s not a bad idea to start your journey with iFastNet. However, growing websites and those with heavy demands will find it difficult to satisfy their website demands and enjoy smooth operations during fluctuations. That said, some business practices are deliberately marketing-oriented like the auto-billing feature. There have been cases where the amount is automatically credited from clients’ accounts as they didn’t change the default settings. 

The digital interaction process is average

You won’t have to struggle with the basic registration process on iFastNet. However, some aspects can be a bit tedious and at times, frustrating. Unlike many other providers, iFastNet doesn’t offer an instant WordPress installation feature which means you have to go through a conventional manual installation process. Also, the SSL certificate isn’t pre-activated and you need to activate it on your own. 

Site management process and dashboard interface

Dashboard plays a vital role for any new client. iFastNet offers a neat and clean dashboard with some key features. It is much better than the dashboards crowded with unnecessary options. Especially beginners will love this intuitive and straightforward dashboard. That said, a few intuitive features to guide first-time users would have been appreciable.
