Get One Free’ on domain names.
Press
Release Body: Fasthosts Internet Ltd, the UK's
number one web hosting company, has announced a new offer roll
out that provides ‘Buy One, Get One Free’
on domain names registered until the end of August 2008.
The
latest domain registration
offer means that new or existing customers who register a .com
domain, will receive a free .co.uk registration for 2 years. The
offer, with no catches or ties, is a great opportunity for small
businesses and organisations to expand their visibility online
and better protect their brand identity for free. Fasthosts has
used its economies of scale, as home to more websites than any
other UK provider, to pass savings onto its users.
The
offer means that customers simply register any .com domain
names, before the end of August 2008 and they will receive
a 2 year .uk domain registration of their choice (such as .co.uk),
for free. The deal is the latest effort from Fasthosts to make
effective web usage more affordable for smaller players.
Steve
Holford, CMO Fasthosts Internet Ltd, said, “Plenty
of providers offer discounts, but what users really need is to
experiment with new solutions without risk. Our ‘Buy
One, Get One Free’ deal is a great way to see the
impact of using more domains without investment. It is especially
important for businesses to ensure that their shop-window onto
the world is as prominent as possible”.
A
recent research study commissioned by Fasthosts,
found that UK businesses most often choose their primary domain
name in haste, with 41 per cent investing under 1 hour of thought
in the decision. The survey of 615 British businesses revealed
that the average business spends only between 6-12 hours choosing
their main domain name, and 61 per cent of business owners sought
no second opinion before making a selection. Most significantly,
one third (33 per cent) believed that their sales revenue would
improve as a direct result of changing their web address. Hence,
Fasthosts’ free domain offer is an ideal opportunity
for businesses to consider their options and modify or expand
their web identity with ease.
Holford
added, “Domains are often bought with little thought
at the start of an online project. Website owners have much to
gain from regularly reviewing their domains to ensure that their
website is working as hard as possible.”
As
the UK's largest web host, Fasthosts offers a
comprehensive range of web solutions including domain name registrations,
email solutions (including mobile email services), shared web
hosting, dedicated
servers, online payment services, reseller web
hosting and feature-rich broadband packages.
