We've got yet another nice little promotion to share with you. This time round it's on .tv domain names!

Use the coupon code: tvpromo (no space - cASe SeNSitive) and you'll be able to get a .tv domain for a mere €19.99 ex-VAT

You will be able to register a .tv domain name at this special IF you use the coupon code. No code - no discount!

What is the .tv domain?

Originally .tv was for the island of Tuvalu, however it has become synonymous with "TV" or online video.

We have been using Blacknight.tv to promote our Youtube channel, for example and there are literally thousands of online video services that rely on the .tv extension to promote themselves online.

You can also check out or other promotions on domain registration.

• Get Serious With .Biz (blacknight.com)

One of the things we like to do here at Blacknight is to bring you special offers on domains (and hosting). But we also like to focus on domain extensions that you might overlook.

So what about .biz?

The .biz domain extension was launched to help business find a space online.
Sure, you could register a .com domain name, but over time the number of easily recognisable .com names available shrank.

While .biz is not a "tiny" domain extension (there are over 2 million names registered), there are still more names available compared to its "big brother" .com (there are over 85 million .com domains!)

So why would someone register a .biz domain name?

Biz - means business.

It's that simple.
If you want to see some examples of .biz in use then head over to my.biz where you'll find some nice examples of .biz domains in use.

If you're already using a .biz for your website then why not let us know in the comments?

So what's the promo?

From now until the end of February you can register (or transfer) .biz domain names for €4.99 (ex-VAT)

No promotion codes needed - the discount will appear in the cart once you've added a domain to your order.

• The best damn domain search you will find online (blacknight.com)
• Carlow Business Directory Now Live (mneylon.com)

Valentine's Day might be a wonderful concept if you've got a "better half".

If you don't, however, it can be a really annoying day.

For the last few weeks the shops have been trying to tempt people with cards, gifts and flowers...

So what better way to deal with the Valentine's Day blues than by showing yourself a bit of self-love?

Treat yourself to a domain name this Valentine's Day -  You know you want to!

Jilted by a former lover? Annoyed with your ex?
Registering a domain name might help bring some calm.

So here's the deal.

It's pretty simple.

Use the following coupon code: valentine (cAseSEnsitive) when registering a domain name via our site and you will get the following discounts:

Register .ie domain name for 1 year for €9.99 ex-VAT
Register .com /.net / .info / .eu  domain name for 1 year for €2.99 ex-VAT

Need inspiration? Try out our domain suggestions over on Dropped.ie
Not only can you find nice previously owned IE domain names, but you can also get some really cool suggestions for .com names!


NB: Offer expires at 2359 UTC February 14th 2010. No coupon code = no discount. Only one coupon code per order and only for registration periods described.



NB: Yes we are stretching it a bit by suggesting that a domain name can mend broken hearts, or anything like that, but a discount is still a discount ...

We know you love our silly domain offers, so we're doing it again.

We've cut the price on one year .ie domain name registrations to €14.99

You don't need any coupon codes - just place the order online via our website and you'll get the special price of €14.99 ex-VAT.

Not sure what to get? Why not check out some of the previously owned names listed on our deleted IE domain site?

NB: Price is ONLY valid for new .ie registrations for one year

Remember our .com promotion? Well we've extended it yet again!

Register or transfer a .com domain name for only €4.99 / year ex-VAT.

No coupon code required - the discount appears in the shopping cart.

UPDATE: We've extended the offer to include transfers of .ie domains

Special offers and discounts can be fun! If you subscribe to our newsletter you can get subscriber only discounts that we don't offer anywhere else!

In order to celebrate Friday, which seemed like a stupid enough reason to have a discount,  we've put together a couple of special discounts for you.

Use the coupon code: fridayfeeling
(coupon expires at midnight tonight Irish time (UTC) )

When ordering via our site you will get the following prices:

.net 1 year registration €4.99
.biz 1 year registration €2.99
.info 1 year registration €2.99
.mobi 1 year registration €4.99
.eu 1 year registration €1.99
.me 1 year registration €9.99
.be 1 year registration €0.99
.co.za 1 year registration €9.99

We're also trying to raise some money for a good cause. Check out our blog post here

Keep an eye on our Twitter and Facebook accounts for other silly offers

It's a new year, so we're rejigging some of our service offerings. We're also giving a nice discount, but you'll have to read more about our hosted email service to get it ..

And besides, any excuse to use photos of cute kittens is always welcome, isn't it?

So our Hosted Exchange plans have now got even better!

We've doubled the disk space AND we've reduced the price.

We're offering Microsoft Exchange Server 2007, so you get all sorts of cool features for your outsourced email including:

• global address book
  
• shared calendar
• public folders
• ActiveSync

And all Hosted Exchange Email plans come with:

• IMAP4 / POP3
• Spam Filtering
• Virus Filtering

Not sure which plan is right for you? Check out our Hosted Exchange Email comparison chart.

From now until the end of January 2010 use the coupon code:

email0110

and you'll get 30% off your first month of Hosted Exchange Email. (Coupon is only valid on monthly accounts)

We don't do traditional cards very well here.

(Well that's not entirely true.. we do send out a few, but not that many.)

Let's face it, while the "thought" may "count" you can end up finishing Christmas week with a load of Christmas cards from people you barely know and while it's a nice idea it's probably not all that memorable. (At least that's my rather cynical take on it all .. )

So what about doing something at Christmas that would really have some kind of impact on our clients?

So here's what we've done.

If you order a one year .ie domain registration or transfer and use the promotion code "chrimbo" (lowercase, no caps or spacing) you will be able to walk away with a .ie domain for a mere €2.99 ex-VAT (or transfer an existing .ie domain from somewhere else)

There are a couple of limits to the offer:

• The offer is only applicable to the first 99 orders with the coupon code
• The offer will expire on December 23rd 2009 when the IEDR close for Christmas whether we've received 99 orders or not
  
• The offer only applies to 1 year domain registrations OR transfers ie. you cannot use it to register a domain for 2 years
• No we won't apply the discount if you haven't used the code, so please don't ask.

UPDATE: This offer is now over - it was completely sold out

 

The price of .com (and .net) domain names will be going up on July 1st 2010.

This is not a price increase being set by ourselves or any other registrar - it's an increase that is being set by Verisign, who run both .com and .net.

As a result of this price increase we've decided to extend our offer on .com domain names until January 31st 2010.

So if you want to register a new .com domain name or switch your domain name to us from another registrar, then the time is right.

You can register a .com domain name for 1 year or up to 10 years.

.com domains are only €4.99 (ex-VAT) per year with Blacknight until January 31st 2010.

Check out our other domain name offers here

Blacknight is an ICANN accredited registrar.

Christmas is coming that little bit earlier this year.

From now until December 31st 2009 we have dropped the price on IE domain registrations and transfers to €16.95 / year. (The discount will appear in the cart, so no coupon codes required)

You can register a .ie domain name for 1 to 10 years - your choice.

You don't need to host with us to get the pricing

You can order as many domains as you like

ALL domains get free DNS services, so if you want to point the domain at an existing site, IP address, Google Apps or whatever you like, you can do that too at no extra cost. (Check out our video tutorials on managing DNS etc.)

So our latest little experiment more or less proved what we'd already guessed - people like .com domain names and want discounts on them.

What was interesting, however, was what came in second  and third place.

I'm glad to see that so many people are interested in .me and it's also nice to see that some people like .eu.

Here's the results graph (with explanation) at time of writing. The poll is still open,  but since we now have more than 100 votes it's pretty clear which domain extensions people wanted to see discounted.

The poll was run using Twtpoll which is a nice little service for running polls. While it's obviously aimed at Twitter users, there's no reason why you can't use it without Twitter (or outside it)

Watch this space (and Facebook / Twitter) for announcements of special discounts on .com (and maybe .me too .. )

Every time we run an offer people ask us if we're going to do an offer on something else.

Now getting feedback is always helpful, but it makes me wonder if we're running the kind of offers we should be running or not ...

So, just as a totally unscientific experiment, we're asking you to tell us what you would like to see.

Head on over to the poll and tell us which of the domain extensions (from the list)  you'd like to see us do a crazy promotion on before Christmas.

(You can find a list of our current promotions here)

Are you looking for a deal? Then maybe you've come to the right place!

In the runup to Christmas 2009 we're going to be doing a number of extra special offers and discounts.

As already announced, we're doing some random offers throughout the day and night via Twitter and Facebook.

We'll be adding to those offers with some extra offers between now and Christmas Eve - so keep an eye out.

So what are we offering today you might ask ...

How about a nice little offer on .com domains?

From now until December 31st we've reduced the price on .com transfers to €6.20 - you'll notice the discount when you add  a .com transfer to your cart.

The co.uk registry - Nominet - just announced that they've registered their 8 millionth domain name, so to celebrate we're dropping the price to 3 euro / year until December 31st on co.uk registrations

Blacknight is an ICANN accredited registrar

Just because it's on the internet does not mean it's free. You may be able to access plenty of content online at no cost, but that does not give you any right to (ab)use it as you see fit.

Unfortunately when it comes to images a lot of people seem to think that you can just grab an image from a site and reuse it.

You can't.

The only exception to this would be if the rights holder has given you permission to use their images, designs or other content.

So what are your options?

Basically there are three:

1. Ask the rights holder for permission to use their content, be that images or other content. There is, of course, no guarantee that they'll grant you permission
2. Use images and content that is licensed under Creative Commons or similar style licenses. There are several different types of license available and each one has different terms and conditions. If you do go down that route it can be incredibly enriching, but remember to respect the content provider's rights. Read the license terms carefully and respect them.
   
3. Use stock images. While the "big boys" may be able to pay out hundreds of Euro for a single image we know that most people can't, so please read on ...
   

We've arranged a very nice little deal with one of the leaders in stock imagery - Fotolia

If you signup for an account with them using our special link you'll get:

• 3 welcome credits for FREE
• A 20% bonus on your first purchase

In order to get the special deal signup using the link from us and make sure that you complete the signup fully ie. confirm your email address and provide full contact details. If you're concerned about privacy have a read over their privacy policy.

The "freebies" should appear on your account either automatically or within one working day.

Since I'm a strong believer in "eating our own dogfood" we'll be using stock images from Fotolia on our sites in the future as well.

We've been running a series of discounts and promotions on a variety of domain extensions for the last couple of months...

We've now added a $random factor into the equation. Well "equation" might not be the best word.. Let's just call if the "mix".

At completely random times throughout the day (and night) we'll be cutting the price on some domain extensions.

In some cases we'll literally be giving away domains for FREE (gratis, no charge etc)

In other cases we'll charge a Euro or two for a domain.

In all cases you're going to get a fantastic bargain.

So how will you find out about these promotions? (Or maybe we should call them "extra promotions"?)

Simplest way is via Facebook or Twitter.

Depending on the promotion it might be time based ie. a particular cctld extension being set to a specific price for 30 minutes OR they might be based on units ie. the next 50 .com domains or whatever.

We've organised another domain name promotion in our massive end of year domain madness.

Register OR transfer a .be (Belgium) domain name for a paltry €3 (€2.99 to be precise, but we'll overlook the 1 cent!)

Belgium is famous for its beer, food, comic characters (think TinTin) and for being at the heart of the EU.

How do I get this discount?

Simply order a .be (or several) domain via our website. The discount will appear when you add the domains to your shopping cart ie. during the checkout process

Do I need a coupon code for this offer?

No. The discount will appear in the checkout



Who can register a .be domain?

Anyone.

Are there any restrictions on registering .be domains?

No

How long can I register a .be domain for?

One year

UPDATE: New version of the image courtesy of Forbairt

I love being able to organise discounts and deals for our clients. It's fun.

So this latest offer is really exciting.

It's not a mere discount - it's actually 100% free!

Spinnaker Pro, who offer a range of email marketing services, have teamed up with us to give our clients 1000 free email credits.

Simply signup here and use the coupon code: blacknight

We've been running so many "silly" domain deals in the last few weeks that I almost overlooked one - our price slash on .info domains!

What you get?

.info registration for €4.95

Which registration periods are covered?

One year registration only.

How long is the offer available?

Until December 31st 2009

Is it applicable to ... ?

No. It's only applicable to one year .info registrations.

How much will renewal be?

Renewal prices will be based on our prices at the time of renewal

What is .info?

Info is a generic top level domain extension - currently the 4th largest in terms of volume after .com

Which sites use .info to promote themselves?

There's a directory of .info sites here which is a good starting point

How are you able to do this?

Blacknight is an ICANN accredited registrar and so we're able to negotiate pricing directly with the registry operators


Don't forget - we're also running specials on .eu, .mobi and a few other domain extensions at the moment, so if you want to "dabble" a bit online then why not do it without spending too much money?

Here at Blacknight we take domains very seriously.
 
It's a very serious business.

We were shocked and horrified when we heard stories circulating in the "underground" about cash strapped kitties having to go to great lengths to get low cost domains.

So in order to save the kitties we introduced yet another domain promotion!

This time round the discount is on .eu domain registration.***

It does NOT apply to .eu domain transfers.

Why do this?

It's for the kitties, didn't we already tell you?

Seriously though, as you may have noticed we've been running quite a few special offers recently.

We know that people are worried about costs and want to get as much value as possible. We've always tried to pass on savings to our clients where possible, so this is not something new. 

You can find a full list of promotions here (bear in mind some may have expired)

To help promote the growth of .eu domains we're running a very attractive promotion for new registrations starting tomorrow, October 1st 2009.

How much will a new .eu domain cost?

New registrations will be a mere €2.95

How long is the promotion running for?

From October 1st 2009 until December 31st 2009 we are slashing the price on .eu domain registration.

Is there a discount on .eu domain transfers?

No

Can I register a .eu for more than one year?

No. The .eu registry only allows 1 year domain registration

Does the discount promotion apply to renewals?

No. The discount promotion is for new registrations only


So the cost for a one year .eu registration will be only €2.95 ex-VAT.

Blacknight is Ireland's largest Eurid registrar and offers more domain extensions than any other Irish company.

„Viele Leute benutzen .im-Domains, um ihre verschiednen sozialen Profile im Netz zu bündeln. Anstatt allen Leuten zu sagen, dass sie Sie in Twitter, Facebook, Instant Messenger usw. treffen können", so Herr Neylon, „brauchen Sie ihnen nur Ihre .im-Adresse zu geben und alle Ihre Online-Aktivitäten sind verlinkt.

Przez ograniczony okres czasu, klienci mogą rejestrować domeny .mobi za jedyne 6.75 Euro - najniższą w w dniu dzisiejszym cenę na rynku. Mogą także zarejestrować jeszcze ciepłe domeny .im za jedyne 4.95 Euro - sporo oszczędzając w porównaniu do normalnych cen sięgających 45 Euro. 

Domeny .mobi to świetne narzędzie dla firm szukających możliwości ekspansji w krąg mobilnego internetu - zdecydowanie najdynamiczniej rozwijającego się sektora globalnej sieci. Domeny .mobi pozwalają na poszerzenie kręgu odbiorców o użytkowników telefonów komórkowych, takich jak iPhone, Blackberry urządzeń wyposażonych w system Google Android i innych. Dzięki domenie .mobi można łatwo oddzielić serwis przeznaczony dla urządzeń mobilnych od głównej działalności internetowej.

"Wiele osób wykorzystuje domeny .im, aby skupić w jednym miejscu całą ich aktywność w serwisach społecznościowych, zamiast odsyłać poznane osoby do Twittera, Facebooka czy komunikatora internetowego" mówi M. Neylon. "Wystarczy adres w domenie .im, pod którym znajdą się linki do całej Waszej aktywności internetowej".  

Blacknight szybko staje się jednym z wiodących światowych dostawców usług hostingowych i rejestratorów domen internetowych, z rosnącym zaangażowaniem na rynku europejskim. Firma otrzymała ostatnio akredytację ICANN, pozwalającą jej na rozszerzenie swojej oferty o kolejne domeny.

Serwery Blacknight znajdują się w dwóch największych irlandzkich centrach danych w Dublinie. Liczba domen na nich utrzymywanych rośnie bardzo szybko. Firma zapewnia niezawodne usługi i pomoc techniczną, którym nie dorówna żaden inny dostawca w tej branży.

I could wax lyrically about how .mobi was a really cool concept.

I could talk to you about their fantastic resource site, where you can get all sorts of really interesting and useful information on developing useful content and applications for the mobile web.

Or I could talk to you about nice and useful mobile websites that use the .mobi suffix.

Would you like me to do that?

Or would you prefer if I "cut to the chase"?

You probably want the "meat".

So, let's cut to the chase then ...

Starting today and for a limited time only we are slashing the price on .mobi domain names.

Registrations and transfers will be a mere €6.75 / year (ex-VAT).

I'm not sure if that's the cheapest price you'll find for a mobi domain name on the planet or not, but I know it must be one of the lowest prices you'll find anywhere.

If you find a lower price let me know - I won't offer to match it, but I'd love to see it!

If you've already got a .mobi with a competing registrar, then why not switch to us?

So get searching for available .mobi domains now!

We said we'd organised a few special offers, so here's our next one...

From today, September 1st 2009 until the end of October 2009, we'll be offering a very deep discount on .im domain registration.

Want to register a .im domain?

The cost will be a mere €4.95 ex-vat for a one year registration (reduced from €45!) - discount applies during checkout.

The fine print:

Offer price applies to new registrations only.
Offer DOES NOT apply to:

• transfers
• renewals
• one or two character .im domains (premium)

The Isle of Man's cctld (.im) has been made quite popular by a variety of online services including the (in)famous URL shortener tr.im and popular software like Pidgin and Adium, that all use .im domain names

For many people the two letters "I" and "M" have come to signify "instant message"

You can also think of them as being "I'm" without the apostrophe ..

Let your imagination go !

Register a .im today!

UPDATE:

Since people are either misreading this post or misunderstanding the offer details we have decided to simplify it.

Please read this article in its entirety, as it answers most of the questions we have been asked.



Are you paying silly money for IE domains?

Would you like to save a load of cash?

We can guess the answer to both questions ....

So here's what we're doing.

When?

Starting tomorrow, August 24th 2009, and running until August 29th 2009, we are going to slash the price of IE domains.


What?

Instead of paying our normal rate or even 50% of it you'll pay only 5 euro ex-VAT to register OR transfer a .ie domain. (That's close to 80% off our normal price!) - Please read on for the terms and conditions of this offer.

How much will a .ie cost?

5 euro ex-vat  for a one year registration - just in case it wasn't clear!

How do I get the special price?

Just order a .ie registration or transfer.

The discount will be applied in the shopping cart just before you checkout ie. when we're about to take the money from you the final total will be displayed

See screenshot below (click to enlarge) :




Are there any special coupons or discount codes?

No. It's all automatic.


Now there are certain limits.

The special price is limited to one order per customer and you can only register one .ie domain for a one year at this special price.

How many domains can I get a this special rate?

One

But I want to order a domain for someone else?

Fine, however only one domain will be discounted

Can I transfer a .ie from another provider?

Yes. You can transfer a .ie domain from any other provider and get this special rate.

I want to transfer a lot of IE domains from another provider to you. Can you help us?

The special rate is only applicable to one domain order. If you want to move a large number of IE domains from one of our competitors please contact our sales team who can give you a discount rate on IE domains.


Do I need to buy hosting from you?

No, you don't. We'd love it if you did, but you're under no obligation to.

Can I host this domain with ... ?

You can host the domain wherever you like, however ALL IE domains need to have dns records setup before they will function.

What's included in the price?

The IE domain registration (or transfer) and DNS services.

Unlike some companies we don't charge anything extra for DNS services for domains you are paying us for.

Can anyone register a .ie domain name?

No. The IE domain space is governed by specific rules. If you do not qualify you won't be able to register the domain. Please read over our guide here.

What kind of documents will I need to provide?

That will depend on what and how you are applying for it. Our system will send you out emails with detailed instructions based on your order.

Generally speaking you will need to provide proof of identity, business documents and possibly a signed covering letter explaining why you want to register the domain name in question. Saying that you "like it" is not enough - sorry!

How long do I have to supply the documents?

Please provide them as quickly as possible. A pending registration request will only be valid for 28 days maximum.

What happens if I don't supply the documents in time?

The registration request may lapse and someone else may order the domain.


Why do I need to provide documents?

The IE Domain Registry have very strict rules. We do not invent the rules, we merely act as a conduit.

I don't want to provide the documents, surely an email is enough?

No it isn't. If you want to register the domain name you will need to provide the documentation as requested. No exceptions.


Can I register my own name?

If you are a resident in Ireland and can prove your residence you can register your name. See the PDN site for details. NB: The rules are explicit and do not allow for any extra variations

I don't live in Ireland, can I still apply for an IE domain?

Please read the registration guide. If you are a business then you may qualify. If you are a private individual it's highly unlikely that you will.

I don't know what name to register, can you help?

Why don't you have a look at the deleted domain list. You may find some inspiration there.

How much will it cost to renew domains registered (or transferred) during this offer?

Our normal rates at the time of renewal will apply.

Can existing customers renew their domain at this price?

No. This special only applies to new registrations OR transfers from other providers.

So what is the catch?

There is no catch.

How can Blacknight offer IE domains at such a low price?

Short answer - economies of scale. We have invested heavily in automating the order process as much as possible.



All dates and times are based on Dublin, Ireland.

This special offer deal will not be extended, so if you leave your order until 5 minutes before it closes you may be disappointed, as we will not extend it even a minute beyond the deadline.


UPDATE: Added a screenshot

We know you like offers, so we've been working on putting a few together to keep you all happy.

Our latest offer is for .be (Belgium) domain name registration.

For a limited time only we've slashed the price on new registrations to EUR4.99 (ex-VAT if applicable)!

What can you do with a .be?

It's really up to you, but you could use it for expanding your business presence into another EU country ....

OR

you could play around with the "be" element

One of our clients has put together this rather simple site that plays with the word

You might find this site which list all words in English ending in "be" helpful as well...

If you do something cool with a .be domain do let us know

UPDATE: Since there seems to be a bit of confusion about this. The discount will appear once you add the domain to your shopping cart NOT before

UPDATE 2: We've extended this through August

Our Windows sysadmins inform me that there are still one or two Windows packages available on our special promo pricing

Signup now for the Windows 2008 Minimus and pay only 29.95 for the first year (when that offer's gone it's gone.. )

If you're using Windows on your desktop - why not upgrade to Internet Explorer 8?

UPDATE: Offer sold out.

IQContent have been running their Bootcamp event for the last few years and the lineup yet again this year looks really impressive.

Topics that they'll be covering include:

• Web Strategy
• Web Content
• User Experience and Design
• Online Marketing
• Technology

Why do I mention this? Well they gave us a really nice deal to offer our clients..

Use the coupon code: Blacknight when signing up and they'll give you 20% off

Not bad eh?

Our technical team are always working on new and cool things behind the scenes.

The latest project to bear fruit is the launch of Windows Server 2008 with IIS7 on our shared hosting.

What does it give you?

The hosting plans are identical to the Server 2003 versions, but instead of IIS6 you get IIS7 basically.

Php on Windows Server 2008 with IIS7 is meant to work a lot better and there are other improvements and options that ASP.net developers will appreciate.

So to celebrate this launch we're doing a nice little special offer.

The first 100 signups for our new Windows Server 2008 Minimus plans will get a 20 euro discount (no coupons required). So you can get all the power of Server 2008, IIS7 and all the other features we offer as standard for a mere EUR 29.95 for the first year!!

How do you get this offer?

Just signup online - remember to choose the Windows 2008 / IIS7 option from the dropdown and the discount will automatically be applied.

The small print: The offer is valid only for the first 100 signups. Offer only applicable on annual signups for Minimus plans using Windows 2008 / IIS7

We ran a one day promo on IE domains a couple of weeks ago which proved quite popular, but a lot of people seemed to have missed out for one reason or another...

So we decided we'd do it once more today...

Ground rules are very similar to the last time.

The promotion is valid until midnight tonight.

The coupon code is: iefridayjan09

You can register a new IE domain OR transfer an existing one from somewhere else

You can only order 1 domain at this price for a maximum of 2 years ie. one domain per customer for up to 2 years per domain.


If you want to register a personal IE domain please make sure you check the accepted formats here.

The IEDR WILL NOT allow domains that are "close" to that format. They will accept that format and that format ONLY.

Everyone always complains about the price of IE domains.

So how would you like to get one for less than the price of lunch?

From midnight tonight until midnight on Friday 9th January we are offering IE domains for the ultra-low price of 10 euro!!! (ie. for 24 hours only)

Simply use the coupon code: iefridayjan09

So what are you waiting for? Go here to place your order

Now there are limits... we may be insane, but we're not totally bonkers! (Well that's debatable... )

So you can only order 1 domain at this price for a maximum of 2 years ie. one domain per customer for up to 2 years per domain.

UPDATE:

Just to clarify.

This offer is only valid on new registrations and transfers.

If you wish to register a "personal" IE domain please check out this site for details.

You do not need to send us the documentation today, though the sooner you send it the sooner the domain can be registered

Remember how we said we weren't going to do a "normal" sale this year?

Well we've been true to our word.

While we have slashed the price on IE domains, we're also running a load of different promotions throughout the month. Some are appearing here, some might pop up on Twitter, others on Facebook and others might magically appear on a high profile blogger's site....

You never can tell....

So what do we have planned?

Well this Friday we're going to be doing something very special. I'm not going to say what it is, but it should keep you interested...

Or maybe not ..

Who knows ?

We've dropped the price on IE domains for the month of January.

We've cut the price to €19.95 / year ex-VAT, so you could register a .ie domain now for a mere €199.95 for ten years!

With our new control panel you can manage your domain's DNS easily. If you want to forward your IE domain elsewhere - you can.

But with our hosting plans starting at an incredible €4.95 / month, why would you want to?


Keep an eye on here, twitter and facebook for other promotions

EDIT: Just to clarify. The promotional pricing applies to registrations and transfers of IE domains

• Sales Are Boring

We always like to offer people incentives to move their hosting and / or domains to us.

From now until the end of the month we're offering yet another super-duper incentive - ALL .com transfers are a mere EUR4.95 (ex-vat)!

If you want that in dollars or sterling (for those of you that way inclined... ):

• $7.02 US
• £3.92 Sterling

That means that our pricing on domain transfers is now lower than anyone else in the Irish market and compares very favourably against most of our European and US neighbours (there's probably someone out there offering you cheaper pricing if you look - but at what price?)

Of course we'd really like it if you bought hosting as well (I'd be lying if I said otherwise!), so check out our pricing:

The Minimus comes with a massive 10 gigs of space and 100 gigs of bandwidth! (some of our competitors give less bandwidth with their overpriced dedicated servers!!!)

All this for a mere EUR49.95 per year.

And unlike some people we do offer excellent customer service - don't believe me? Check out what our real customers have been saying.

So what are you waiting for?

How about 15% off your hosting bill as well? Simply enter the coupon code "movehost" when placing your order and save a further 15% off your hosting bill.
