Happy 10th Birthday WebFaction from the iwantmyname team! To celebrate this milestone, the hosting company is giving away $100,000 in services to new and existing customers. Here are the details of their awesome web hosting deal:
New customers: just sign up from Feb 5th at 2pm UTC and pay $9.50 for the first month (or pay for longer). $100 will automatically be credited to your account.
Existing customers: add one new service to your account from Feb 5th at 2pm UTC (a 256 MB plan, 256 MB extra memory, or a 1GB plan) and pay for one month of that service, and you will receive the next three months of that service for free.
All domains registered at iwantmyname can be easily pointed to their service by choosing WebFaction's nameservers from the popular hosting provider list in the iwantmyname dashboard.
If you're in the market for a new web hosting provider or just want to start a new site, this hosting giveaway is just too good to miss.
Throughout February you'll be able to benefit from the following great top-level domain sales at iwantmyname:
We also throw in an additional 10% transfer discount on any .com/.net/.org domain transfer from GoDaddy in February (make sure to avoid these problems when starting domain transfers from GoDaddy).
We get our fair share of domain transfers from the world's largest registrar and while it is generally a smooth process, there are few things you should know before moving to iwantmyname (or any other registrar):
Whois privacy: You need to disable whois privacy through GoDaddy's DomainsByProxy service. Otherwise they will allow you to start the transfer to another registrar but cancel it later in the process.
Recently updated owner: If you have updated the owner details of a domain, GoDaddy will decline the transfer for 60 days. You can send an email to review60 [at] godaddy.com and they will work with you to make the domain transferable.
Incorrect authorization codes: Should you request an authorization code through GoDaddy's control panel for some country code top-level domains (ccTLDs), they will send you an invalid code by email. This applies to .de, .ms, .fm, .nz and some other domain extensions. We recommend to contact them by phone and specifically ask for an auth code from their ccTLD team.
ccTLDs needing local presence: GoDaddy might also decline a transfer if you use a proxy service, e.g. a German address for .de domains. In that case, we are able to provide you with details of our local presence service so they can update the domain accordingly.
If this sounds at all complicated or you run into any problems, we are more than happy to help in migrating your domains with our managed domain transfer service.
Since launching iwantmyname, our mission has been to help you find and set up the best hosted services through our unique app marketplace for domains. The number of listings is constantly growing and now features more than 100 applications with easy 1-click DNS setup.
The iwantmyname marketplace lets you discover hosting services and apps from 15 different categories:
As an iwantmyname customer, you will be able to add the DNS settings for any of these services with just one single click from the dashboard, e.g. create a website with Virb for yourdomain.com, start an additional shop through Shopify at shop.yourdomain.com, set up a knowledgbase on support.yourdomain.com with Desk.com and many more (some of them even offer free hosting). It's really the easiest way to get started online!
We are starting off the new year 2013 with some price reductions for the following popular country code top-level domains:
From $33 to $29.90:
From $35 to $29:
From $24.90 to $19:
From $59 to $49:
From $29 to $24.90:
These prices apply to new purchases as well as renewals. Happy domain registering!
It has been an amazingly full and challenging year for us here at iwantmyname as we continued to win over new fans with our no-nonsense approach to domain management. Elsewhere, from Hobbits to hurricanes to Halloween, 2012 has been a rather eventful year globally as well. Now as the holiday season is almost upon us, you can rest easy in the full knowledge that we will still be on deck keeping
a watchful eye on your domains.
During the year we launched a crisp new design for iwantmyname including improvements in search speed and functionality. 2012 was also the
year in which we witnessed hundreds of aspiring domain applicants preparing bids for the release of new top level domains. Some of the applications had merit, whilst
others were downright domain crazy. We continue to monitor the process and will keep you informed if and when new domain spaces emerge.
We've got major plans for 2013 ourselves too, including additional development work on our
customer dashboard. We're also doing our bit for the economic recovery by taking on more domain elves, plus we are planning a move to bigger and brighter premises as we continue our global growth. None
of these things would have been possible without the support of our valued
customers however. Apart from your domain business, we especially appreciate
all of your feedback.
We want to make registering and managing a domain name easy and fun, so
it really helps us to improve when we hear about our customers'
experiences.
We're not to sure if they do because both cheezburger.is and cheeseburger.is are still available for registration. There seems to be an Iceland Cheeseburger Pizza though?!?
Now THAT sounds healthy! Anyway, as one of the most requested country code top-level domains (ccTLDs) at iwantmyname, it is with great pleasure to announce the addition of the Icelandic domain extension to our TLD family.
Iceland's ccTLD can be registered at a yearly cost of $99 USD with .is domain transfers being free of charge. Please note that ISNIC, the Icelandic registry, has special nameserver requirements. If you are planning to use different nameservers than our ns1/2/3/4.iwantmyname.net, please check with your nameserver or hosting provider first.
Since the .is namespace is rather small (41361 domains as of today), many great domains or domain hacks are still available. Make yourself a domain Christmas present and get your Icelandic web address today!
Thank goodness it's almost Thanksgiving! Everyone is looking forward to
putting their feet up over the holiday weekend, eating good food and
spending lots of leisure time with friends and family. It's also a time
when online retailers get busy offering a wide range of fantastic deals
to lure customers away from their turkey and cranberry sauce. So to get
into the Thanksgiving spirit, we sniffed out a fantastic offer for you
from WP Engine.
From November 22nd to 26th, WP Engine is
offering $25 off your first 3
months of service! That's premium WordPress hosting for as low as $4 per
month for the first 3 months. There's never been a better time to get
yourself online and start sharing your thoughts with your own fantastic
WordPress blog. Better yet, WP Engine handle everything for you. No need
to worry about software updates or hosting.
Of course iwantmyname makes it easy to domain customize your hosted WP Engine blog. So you don't need to settle for a plain old vanilla flavored URL. Choose from our selection of more than 100 international domain extensions and get blogging over the long weekend with WP Engine (affiliate link).
Google's Matt Cutts explains why you shouldn't park your domain right until the launch of your website:
Some more tips from us:
Frequently described as one of the most influential bands of their era, British synth-pop pioneers Depeche Mode are planning a world tour plus an album release in 2013. They are amongst many groups managing their online brand presence using various smart domain customized hosted services for musicians.
So we were thrilled when they tweeted using a superbly crafted short domain set up through iwantmyname to illuminate their new studio production video clip.
