Domain Registration Fees for .COM and .NET set to increase, Thanks to Verisign

Norman — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 10:28:23 +0000

Earlier this year, VeriSign Registry announced that they would be raising prices for domain name extensions .com and .net. The price increase will go in to effect on July 1st, 2010. As a result of this price increase, Enom, our domains provider is in the unfortunate position of having to pass this price increase down through their Reseller channel (2MHost.com and 2mdomains.com).

So, from July 1st, 2010, domain registration and renewal will be increased from $8.75 to $9.75 and still including ID-Privacy protection for free.

Right now, all our loyal customers whom host tens of websites with 2MHost will have the chance to get considerable discount each time they order or renew their hosting accounts .. we call this program: Super User Discount Level ..

“Super User” because you will get this discount through your super user account only and ”Discount Level” because the discount value changes according to the number and the package type of the active hosting accounts.

All that clouds!

For unknown reason, there is intense racing between hosting companies to advertise the launching of their hosting clouds, I agree that hosting industry need some fresh products, but to call anything you have a “cloud” is plain fraud.

To be “Cloud” you need to able to spread your website over multiple hardwares, with full failover (High Availability), load balancing and easy to expand over more hardwares when you need more resources ..

But what really sold today is a Xen virtual dedicated server that can get more resources when need, no failover, no mulitple hardware, no HA .. simply Xen VPS.

In return, the BEST you can get is a dedicated server performance with higher price.

check my chat session with a “Cloud” provide:

Paul: Greetings, my name is Paul. Welcome to ***** Sales. With whom am I speaking? How may I be of assistance?
you: Paul I have a question
you: is what you are selling is really Cloud? or its just VPS on a node?
you: I mean .. does my instance can spread over several nodes?
Paul: Hello, it is based on Xen, so it only is using the single node
you: from what I see in your website and similar, the largest instance is 1 dedicated server .. why youdo not say we sell Xen VPS and you are done!
