Default Zip Hosting/Hostess Deal

Hi Guys

Just wanted to let you know that our friends at Zip Hosting aka Hostess are doing a killer deal starting tomorrow, with .au domain registration costing $10 for two years.

http://www.ziphosting.com.au/

Might be worth a punt for a few of those undecided domains!

Cheers
Mark

Thanks for the heads up!

Woohoo
Although I wish Netregistry would give better wholesale prices to their longtime and formerly loyal (+5 years) Legacy Planetdomain resellers.
My Supposed w'sale price is 33$. NetResult 70+ of my own Aussie Names Transferred / Renewed / Registered at your competitors.

I don't think so. Just an Australia Day promotion I believe...

What's stopping people from registering for $10 then transferring to another domain registrar?

Nothing but try to think of it as a loss leader. They lose a little on the front end but then some customers buy hosting etc which brings monthly revenue.

Speaking of that, I wonder what how long people stay with the same host and the life time value of someone who signs up for a hosting plan.

I thought $5 per year would be below their wholesale cost! Must be a catch!? Great deal if it is accurate! I understand they are bound by auDA rules as far as having to allow transfers away to another registrar.
