All Dot-Net Registrations & Transfers €6.00 until Midnight on Friday!

Use coupon code ‘net600′ at checkout.

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.

An .eu domain is great if your business sells products to the European marketplace. It’s perfect for trans-European businesses, cross-border organisations or any group or person wanting to celebrate their European identity!

There are many advantages to using a .eu domain name:

• It puts you on the map. It shows customers that you or your organisation is European.
• It’s practical. Many companies use .eu for a corporate umbrella website. That lets them use a single Internet address on all packaging and in all communications.
• It’s trustworthy. The .eu registry is operated according to established European Community regulations.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Click here to check if your .tel is available.

.TV Domain Promotion

For a limited period only, Spiral Hosting are offering new .TV domain name registrations for just €20 /year.

The normal price is  €45.45. Please use coupon code tvpromo to get your discount!

Why .TV?
A .tv domain means your Web address can communicate more than just where your site is - it can tell people what your site is - an entertaining destination worth visiting again and again. A Web address that ends with .tv tells your audience that a vibrant rich-media experience awaits, before they even get there! And since .tv is so distinct and memorable visitors will have no problem recalling your address when they want to come back.
