I was planning to create my own website a few months ago.
On the net a .COM domain was usually about R50 - R100.
But R9.99 per year, is this for real?

Also, is there a negative aspect to that deal?
I ask because I'm not familiar with the related contracts.

You would most probably have to host with them. @ R85 odd per month, they ain't cheap.

With absolutely no contact details on their site, not even and e-mail address, i would be a little wary of them.

If it is subsidised based on the monthly prices then one could even give it for free.

I usually offer my clients free renewal on their domains as the actual domain cost is covered in the hosting fee

Hi all,

I am from Webnetix CC and would like to assure you that we are a legitimate registered CC business operating in South Africa. The R9.99 .com promotion is no hoax and will be running until the end of March 2010 ;)

We are also proud to announce that Webnetix is an official sponsor of the 5th annual ITWeb security summit scheduled for 11 - 13 May 2010 at the Sandton Convention centre. The event is of particular importance to us, as it highlights just why IT security should be taken seriously and the various ways in which we as individuals and businesses have to become more informed to protect ourselves form becoming victims of cyber crime.

We hope to see you there! ;)

For more information on the event, please visit our site at http://webnetix.co.za or directly at http://www.securitysummit.co.za/

Please feel free to contact me if you require any assistance or information.
Kind Regards
