Name.com has partnered with Wix.com, a press release issued today dives goes into detail about the partnership. According to the release there will be a special promotion, customers who purchase an annual Wix plan at Name.com will also receive a free domain registration and free Google Workspace Business Starter for one year. It does not specify extension so I am not sure if it will include a pricier cctld such as .vc or .tv
I do like the seamless integration, so you can just have the name you want right away and start building the website.
