It's a common trick by scammers to get you to sign up for a domain name but, if you try and transfer it, you find out you don't really own the name. Be sure to read the fine print. Othertimes, if time expires before you register, they won't renew it but through them or a hefty price. Or they drag out the renewal until it does expire. GoDaddy has pulled some of this stuff in the past. ICANN turned a deaf ear until just recently due to a couple hefty lawsuits.

Nothing is ever free without a catch.
