New, easier domain ordering process

Posted by Josh Delsman on 12/11/2008

Customers registering domain names now have the option to log in and use their previously saved details once the availability of the domain has been confirmed. This will allow people to register domains without having to fill in a registration form each time. The form will be pre-filled with your previous details (which can then be amended if required).

Increase in Domain Prices

Posted by Josh Delsman on 11/11/2008

A month ago, the registry for .com and .net domains increased their prices slightly. We absorbed that increase, but because these registries charge us in US dollars the reduction in the value of the pound has put the cost price of these domains up by 32%. Further increases are likely if the pound continues to fall against the US dollar.

We are therefore increasing our retail prices for all gtld domains to £14 per year including VAT. This is regrettable, but its the only way we can maintain the level of service that customers have come to expect.

Until a year or so ago we did charge £14 per year for these extensions so in many ways it is a return to previous pricing. We will not be making any extra profit, just covering the increased cost and the associated extra VAT and card processing fees on the higher amounts.

The domains affected are:

  • .com
  • .net
  • .org
  • .biz
  • .info
  • .mobi

We will be having a number of promotions on other domain extensions shortly and will be adding a number of other extensions to our portfolio.

We also have a special offer for customers moving their web hosting to us so its possible you could save more than the extra you are paying for domains in other areas.
