Ok, I know….I’ve not updated in ages…but, I do have a very valid reason!
I’ve been doing college work, and having to revise for a last-minute maths exam which I had yesterday. No idea if I passed it yet, however I *should* find out on Monday! I need to pass to get into Uni so I’m pretty much relying on the results.
Work wise, I’ve continued to work on WSDReg, however not as fast as I would like (due to college). I’ve got about 2-4 weeks left until I finish so after that I’ll whiz through it.
WSDReg seems to have had a huge increase in activity last month, and this month. We’ve had almost triple the usual amount of monthly sales in the space of about 2 weeks! Considering our entire operation has never had any major paid advertising, we’re doing really well.
Once the move to AWBS is completed, we’re also looking at expanding to have a UK site, and a Euro site. We recently also managed to secure a great partnership with BurstNET which will allow us to offer some of their services, including the services from Nocster at reduced rates. We’re looking at offering dedicated servers, as well as several other packages. We’re also looking at offering servers in alternate locations.
Burst has a datacentre located in Pennsylvania, which is great for US based customers, however we want the option of offering customers servers that are better for Euro use…we’ve not decided how we will approach this yet however my feeling is that we should use a UK dc and our own servers, which would allow us to also offer co-location.
Now, I know WSDReg is primarally a domain registrar, however we are looking at going furthur into the hosting industry. This will allow us to expand our great low prices that our customers have come to expect from our domain registrations.
Here’s a lineup of what we will be offering once the new site launches:
- US Based Dedicated Servers
- US Based Linux and Windows VPS Hosting
- US cPanel Shared Hosting
- US cPanel Reseller Hosting
- Improved SSL Certs
- Backup Services
We’ve already secured all of the above, and are hoping to get some contracts with data centres to offer co-location.
Anyway, this post has turned into more of a WSDReg promotion! I’ll stop talking now.
I will endeavor to update over the weekend as I’ve got more to write…but I’ve also got college work to do so may not get time. I’ll do my best!
Have a nice weekend all!
