The right corner, the right foot traffic, a sign people can read from across the street. When on the internet, your domain is the location, and .STORE is what says &#8220;open for business&#8221; before a customer clicks a single link.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From September 1 through 15, active DreamHost customers can claim a free .STORE domain for the first year. If you&#8217;ve been meaning to put your store, your side hustle, or your someday-business online, the setup cost just dropped to $0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why .STORE<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because it tells customers what to expect before they arrive. A .STORE domain reads as a storefront \u2014 short, direct, and built for selling \u2014 whether you&#8217;re moving handmade goods, digital downloads, or the inventory currently taking over your garage. And unlike the crowded namespaces where every good name is long gone, .STORE still has room for yours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Deal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">$0 the first year (100% off)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No promo code needed<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yours to keep and build on<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Available September 1\u201315, 2026 only<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Renews at $49.95\/year<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Claim a .STORE if you&#8217;re:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Launching a product<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Turning a side hustle into something official<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Giving an existing store a cleaner, sharper web address<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Curious what you&#8217;d sell if getting started cost nothing<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This offer&#8217;s exclusive to current DreamHost customers through September 15 &#8211; A thank-you built to help you set up your storefront, test an idea, and start selling with zero upfront cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So go ahead.
