Are you sure? Will DH pay the registration fee to the preferred registrar?
I thought the free domain had to be registered thru DH.

I sign up for Crazy-domain-Insane with 1/year with free domain name registered.
My Question is : After 1 year, If my service at DH is finished. Can I still use that domain name is somewhere else without paying anything to DH for Domain name's fee? Or I have to pay $14.XX for the Domain name's fee in order to have a ownership of that domain while I can host it at any other Webhosting services?

You would have to pay the $14.95/year fee for the registration if you wanted to keep it registered with us, though there's nothing stopping you from re-registering the domain with another registrar if you'd like. We don't hold domains hostage. :>
Also, note that the free registration is free as long as you continue hosting with us - not just for the first year.

Unfortunately, this is correct. I'm sorry if that wasn't made very clear before. Only ".com", ".org", and ".net" domains are free.

How long time take the free domain registration offer in Crazy Domain Insane plan?
I choose my domain that Dreamhost offer to me for free and I pay the one year per-payment plan, but I can see that this domain still available in Whois from www.netsol.com

Domains can take a few days to trickle through the internet. If your ISP doesn't resolve the new domain yet then it might be farther away logically than other hosts.

But the problem is that the Status in my Control Panel for the Domain is: Unknow :-(

Just FYI, .info domains can also be free with a hosting plan!
