| 419339 | 2006-01-09 04:41:00 | Alrighty, it has been suggested (or insisted) in the past that NZ companies overcharge for a .com domain, So, who would be recomended for this task? Must answer queries, and have a grasp of the english language...and of course have no issue about being paid with a NZ CC. Also, what sort of ballpark figure are we talking? |

| 419341 | 2006-01-09 04:52:00 | Cheers Stu, Sadly I have just discovered the url I was after has been purchased by a company that buys them in bulk for the single purpose of pumping the price up if anyone does want it. Spewing blood, fire and acid. |

| 419342 | 2006-01-09 04:56:00 | I'd also recommend GoDaddy. Very good value and excellent control panel. :) | maccrazy (6741) | ||
| 419343 | 2006-01-09 09:22:00 | Heh, Have been advised that the current market value of the URL is $800 american dollars, Have advised them back that its current market value is $14.95, the same as the other variations of the url that I can use. | Metla (12) | ||
| 419344 | 2006-01-09 09:30:00 | Ahhh .. good ol supply and demand at work :) You want it, they will make you pay throught the teeth. Gotta love greed (Incidentally, I also looked up the one I am looking at getting, bought by some domain reseller - possibly the same one). Anyway, I don't need it that bad so they can get ...... |

| 419345 | 2006-01-09 22:42:00 | Try your ISP. Orcon (and Xtra) both do .com's, and although it's via a third party, (Tucows I believe) it works well. Orcon charge a reasonable NZ$35.00 per year. Webfarm, who own Freeparking also do them for a similar price. | Greg (193) | ||
| 419346 | 2006-01-10 03:54:00 | Have advised them back that its current market value is $14.95, the same as the other variations of the url that I can use. How about a one or two character variation on your original url? Maybe an underscore or hyphen between words or an 'nz' prefix or suffix? :2cents: A |
