There are now over 12 million Dot-Net domain names, making it the second largest generic top level domain (TLD) after .com.

Established in January 1985, the .net extension was initially intended for network-orientated websites such as Internet service providers, but there are no restrictions on who can register a dot-net. It is often treated as a second dot-com, and businesses should buy both to protect their brand name.

Offer valid until Friday 3rd July 2009 @ midnight, available to both new and existing customers, and the €6.00 price is recurring. Offer available on all registrations and transfers, but not on renewals of existing domains.

Domain Services ‘final notice’ email scam

Published by Spiral Hosting on Sunday 7th June 2009

Spiral Hosting has today warned customers of a domain services scam.

Domain Services have been sending email solicitations to many of our customers requesting payments for Search Engine Submission. The emails request payment details are sent to an American fax number for payments of between $75 and $295. The emails may appear to be sent from Hotmail email addresses, but the source is actually a company calling themselves ABC Domains. This is a scam. Customers are advised to disregard the letter.

Why Ben Chose A .Tel Domain

Published by Peter Armstrong on Friday 10th April 2009

This morning we launched .Tel domain name registrations — only 10 euro a year from Spiral!

In this video Ben tells you why to choose .Tel!

.Tel domains now available only 10 euro!

Published by Peter Armstrong on Friday 10th April 2009

Spiral Hosting has today introduced .Tel domain registration to its long list of domain services.

Dot-Tel is  unlike any other domain extension and it’s very different from a normal website.  There’s no webhosting needed as everything is hosted by Telnic’s DNS directory.

So what is it?
Dot-Tel is like a big phonebook. Your .tel is your business card on the Internet. Imagine never having to tell people you’ve changed your phone number or email address. They know your .tel domain and it stores all your contact information - you can even choose which details are shown to everyone and what is shown to your friends.

telnic

All you need on your business cards is one address - yourname.tel

Over 100,000 people registered their .Tel domain in the first 24 hours of registration, and it received worldwide media coverage including BBC News and CNN.

For a demo please visit our own .tel domain: spiralhosting.tel

The most interesting part of .tel is that in the future applications could be developed for your phone - so you don’t store your friends phone numbers, you just store their .tel domains. The .tel address always has the most recent information - so essentially you are putting your friends in control of their contact information stored on your phone.

The best bit is the price - only €10 from Spiral Hosting.
