Hi Guys, Based on your posts, I am thinking about going with a DIY option - I just seem to find that these 'easy' things turn into many...

Now I'm scared - That sounds pretty complex to me!

Alan6984 posted a forum topic Dash Cam Options
Hi All, I am looking at getting a dash cam - I guess the general options are to have one fitted, or buy and do it myself. Has anyone fitted...

Sounds like I've had a lucky escape. I tried registering a few times, but they never send the SMS to verify. I suspect they are using one...

Only showing Whangarei and Nelson now (for me at least).

I've consistently had the same problem - I first tried months ago, and the txt never arrives: https://www.cheapies.nz/comment/47791/redir I...

It was their decision to make a deliberate / explicit statement that it was available in NZ, and then actively blocking - quite different...

Me too. I was not using any VPN or anything else that would hide or obfuscate my correct location (direct connection through Slingshot)....

I've never yet had anyone refuse to change nameservers for me prior to pulling the domain over, and I would never refuse to do that in...

This is so true Kiwical.

Okay - so if we are moving a client to us, we make sure we get all the DNS settings prior to doing anything, and have them all setup ready...

Hi Chewster, It still sounds like it would only impact on a client that was moving away from us, in which case, it would be up to whoever...

Fair comment - I'm sure Gull are having a competitive impact. We have loads of stations near us - at least five within walking distance...
27/09/2019 - 08:32
I agree - its only with the vouchers that their discount days are compelling, else I would likely not bother using Gull at all (compared to...

As long as you get the vouchers, then its still good today.

Added to my list too - thanks! Alan.

I have put NameCheap on my list Thanks, Alan.
23/09/2019 - 09:29
Yes - the help desk explicitly confirmed by email that I cannot update the NameServers myself through the ControlPanel - they said to email...
23/09/2019 - 09:28
This is a good point - I'd prefer to look at alternatives that are truly unrelated to WebDrive / OpenHost, so I guess Domains4Less are out...
23/09/2019 - 09:25
Hi Chewster, If we are transferring a domain out, we tell the client to make sure that they have all that covered off, but if they (or...

Alan6984 replied to DisabledUser6364 on NZ Domain Registration - Best Deals
Yes - I am not concerned about the web hosting at all, just domain registration and DNS. I generally prefer not to have domain...

Hi All, I have been with WebDrive for many years, and never had a reason to look elsewhere. However, they appear to have been bought out by...

Wow - That sounds like a very sweet deal. Thanks! Alan.
19/09/2019 - 08:42
I had a look through the link above (thanks Starcub), and I think the answer is 'no', but can anyone confirm if this also applies to SMS...

I don't know anything about them personally, but I would note that, giving away a freebie, in the hope that you then purchase later, is not...

Hi nem2k2, How does it work? Is it a mail in / online redemption, using a code on the receipt? Do they, or at least, are they supposed to,...

I haven't received any from the New World promo, but I did get the 4 x $5 cards from the Countdown one a few weeks ago now. Alan.
