Some exciting news:
Domain Name prices slashed to just $19 per year!
I think that makes us the cheapest NZ owned and operated .nz registrar. In any case, there is no reason to use another registrar now. We can register most international suffixes too...
Also, in this issue of Website Builder news, June, 2013.
We have just slashed the price of domain names to only $19 per year. At this rock bottom price for domains, we hope you'll tell all your friends that websitebuilder is the best place to get their domains from. Why not search for that domain you've always wanted right now.
If you are tricky, you can even register Australian .com.au domain names, by selecting OTHER for the ID type, and entering your IRD number. It's subject to review by Australian Authorities, but so far it seems to work for most NZ businesses without an ABN.
If you are a website designer, graphics designer, or highly motivated individual, we also have a great offer for too. You can sell domain names and make $2 profit on every domain sold. Checkout our brand new reseller domains option.
You can now add shopping carts to the basic brochure business plan. If you have a low traffic website with less than 6 products, then this is the plan for you.
We have recently upgraded the vouchers, discounts and promotions area. So you can now offer discounts like:

Did you know that if you refer a friend to use our awesome website builder service, you get a 20% discount off your hosting? If you refer 5 friends, then you will essentially get your web hosting for free! Not only that, but your friends will also get their 2nd month web hosting absolutely free. That's a nice little encouragement for them to check our service out and gives us the opportunity to setup your discount. Both discounts apply for your 2nd and subsequent websites also. It doesn't matter if it is yours, a friend, family or a stranger. Discounts begin once both websites are live.

We have updated other combo boxes for the category selection and product selection also, to give better access to long lists of products or categories or pages.
