Blacknight Customers Stand Out With .ME Domains Registrar offers deep discounts on .ME domains with the purchase of a Hosting package
Leading Irish registrar and hosting company Blacknight want to help customers get noticed online with .ME domains.
From now through November 22nd 2012 Blacknight is offering the Minimus.me promotion through which customers can register a .Me domain name for only €3.99 (ex-VAT) with the purchase of a yearly Minimus Hosting plan.
.ME, the Internet extension for people, is the fastest growing domain in Europe and is ideal for individuals, families and start-ups.
.ME is the perfect way to create a completely personalised identity online. Great for blogs, personal websites, life streaming and sharing photos; imagination is the only limit to the uses for a .ME domain.
Michele Neylon of Blacknight explains: “A .ME domain is the ultimate form of self expression on-line. Not only is it great because there are still loads of good names available, but also there is nothing else like it online. Also, with the discount, a .ME domain becomes €0.01 a day. What else can you get for €0.01 a day?”
The .ME discount applies to first year domain registrations only and must be purchased with an annual Minimus Hosting plan. The Minimus package includes 10GB of server storage space as well as 200GB a monthly transfer, which is perfect for most small blogs and small business websites. Minimus Hosting also includes, e-mail, FTP, MySQL, MSSQL, spam fighting tools and the ability to host up to 30 websites.
At less than €50 a year Minimus users also have the ability to choose between Linux or Windows, easy WordPress installation, use of the Plesk site builder to create simple websites and of course, Blacknight’s legendary chivalrous support services.
Neylon continues: “I like to remind customers that they can make their whole domain name work for them and that what comes after the dot is equally important to what comes before it. People want to use extensions that make sense for their needs and we are seeing more and more registrants choosing .ME.”
To take advantage of the Minimus.me offer, just add the Minimus package and .ME domain of choice to the Blacknight shopping cart and the discount will automatically appear at checkout.

Upcoming iQ Webinar: Optimising the online shopping journey with good design
Site conversion and basket abandonment have been an on-going challenge for online retailers. EPiServer’s recent survey ‘Benchmarking the Digital Highstreet’ shows that most online retailers deliver on fundamental aesthetics and functionality but fall short on purchase specific functions. In iQ Content’s next webinar, Steven Cassin, EPiServer, will present the critical insights on how top UK retailers fare against customer expectations from website experience, product research, buying and after sales.
Picking up on the insights, Laurence Veale with iQ Content will look at how good design that’s rooted in an understanding of visitors’ expectations and buying habits, can ensure that your site is optimised to convert every visitor to a customer. Ease of navigation, clear signposting and excellent follow through across all communications channels are just some of the areas that we’ll outline. This is backed up by case studies showing how conversion rates can be increased by 200% and more through some simple design modifications.

Been dynamic recently?
Just a brief note to let you know about my slight shift in direction. I’m rebrandingDynamic Web Marketing to Be Dynamic. I’ve chosen to focus on training people in both groups and one-to-one on SEO, social media and online marketing techniques and practice. I’ve always thought that helping people directly to help themselves is where my strengths lie so I’ve bitten the bullet and confirmed it now!
I’ve spent many years in one-to-one consultancy and I’m recognising more and more the need for businesses to stay close to their social media and digital marketing. It’s become clear to us all that companies are seeking to reduce costs and regain more control. Put simply, I believe that training and consultancy is the way forward in online marketing. Many customers come to me and say that once they learn the techniques and how to do things online, they’d prefer to do it themselves.I think being dynamic and taking control of your online destiny will get you results. Whether that is keeping up-to-date with social media trends and techniques or getting your head around analytics, it’s important you stay on top. Be Dynamic is here to make sure you do!Call me on 087 8348279 or email shennessy@bedynamic.ie to find out more.ThanksSandra
