Did you know that you can pay your Webspring and Interspeed accounts automatically using a credit card? We call this auto-billing. Think of all the Flybuys, Airpoints or Reward points you could be collecting!
Once you have set up auto-billing your hosting invoices and domain renewals are paid when they fall due, no need to do anything and nothing to remember. If you want to you can pay your web development/design invoices the same way and a staement or receipt (your choice) will be emailed to you.
It’s easy to set up, just phone Janine in Accounts (07 859007 or 0800 WEBSPRING ext 401) and give her your credit card details. She’ll take care of the rest!
Being Master of your Domain (Name)
I have a friend who recently started her own business. She chose a catchy business name and we talked about getting her website organised. She is not relying on the website to generate business and she’s invested a lot in setting up the business so she decided to hold off on the website for the time being. But we did talk about the importance of purchasing her domain name (or URL).
The trouble is, if you don’t own your own domain name somebody else can. And in fact this is what has happened, she didn’t jump in and buy the domain name straight away and now it’s too late.
The cost to register a .co.nz domain name is just $50 per year…it is such a small amount in the big scheme of things!
You can check the availability of domain names right here, on the Interspeed website.
