The People Have Spoken

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 .. )

Pre-Christmas Domain Madness Powered By YOU

Everyone was asking for discounts on .com domains.We heard. We listened. Now we are acting.From now until the end of the month (December 31st 2009) all .com registrations and transfers are discounted to €4.99 (ex-VAT).You don’t need any special coupon…
