This is what’s called the “call to action”. Do you want them to email you? Make a phone call? Click on a link? Tear out a coupon? Whatever it is, the call to action has to create a sense of urgency, be simple to do, and have benefits to doing it. jonathan.crossfield@netregistry.com.au (Lina Nguyen) Fri, 23 Oct 2009 00:00:00 +1100 http://www.netregistry.com.au/news/articles/527/1/Testimonial-How-BlueWire-Media-learned-to-stop-worrying-and-love-web-hosting/Page1.html When Adam Franklin & Toby Jenkins started Brisbane web design company, Bluewire Media, in 2005, both wanted to own a business but neither person was technical. Naturally this threw up a few challenges, especially when it came to web hosting. jonathan.crossfield@netregistry.com.au (Jonathan Crossfield) Tue, 06 Oct 2009 00:00:00 +1100 http://www.netregistry.com.au/news/articles/526/1/StoreXpress-bears-sweet-scented-fruit/Page1.html Trina Johnson runs Fruitful Creative - a graphic design agency. When faced with a client request for a website, Trina was, like many first-timers, intimidated. No problem with the design, but what about all that code and technical stuff? "As a graphic designer merging into the world of web design, I was a little concerned about my ability to deliver when a client asked me to design them an online store. After much searching and reading, I realised that I didn't need to be a technical whiz or really know any coding at all to be able to deliver." jonathan.crossfield@netregistry.com.au (Jonathan Crossfield) Wed, 23 Sep 2009 00:00:00 +1000 http://www.netregistry.com.au/news/articles/524/1/Netregistry--Online-Growth-Solutions-acquires-MD-Web-Hosting/Page1.html 3 August 2009 - MD Web Hosting is now part of the Online Growth Solutions Ltd group of companies, alongside Netregistry, PlanetDomain, NETT Magazine and Hostess.

As an accredited auDA Registrar, MD strengthens our strategic position in the Australian domain name market – establishing Online Growth Solutions as the number 1 player in .AU ahead of Melbourne IT. In addition, MD's large web hosting customer base brings us closer to the number 1 position in the web hosting market – our next strategic goal." jonathan.crossfield@netregistry.com.au (Jonathan Crossfield) Tue, 04 Aug 2009 00:00:00 +1000 http://www.netregistry.com.au/news/articles/521/1/Naughty-Netregistry-responds-to-CeBIT-trade-show-nurse-controversy/Page1.html The annual Cebit trade show, Darling Harbour, has become the home of a heated debate, after Netregistry's Web Clinic caused a few vocal social commentators to find a new way to get their names in the press. Now dubbed by media as the "naughty nurses", the stand's use of two sales girls in nurse uniforms has been dubbed sexist and offensive by up to six or seven people, across IT and mainstream media – it is believed up to half of these seven people have actually visited the stand. jonathan.crossfield@netregistry.com.au (Jonathan Crossfield) Thu, 14 May 2009 00:00:00 +1000 http://www.netregistry.com.au/news/articles/520/1/Business-Development-Executive-required---Have-you-got-what-it-takes/Page1.html Netregistry is one of Australia's premium IT brands and a market leader in domain names, web hosting, e-commerce, dedicated hosting and Internet marketing.

Sure, you as the business owner want them to buy your product or enquire after your service, but have you told them that? If you have lots of traffic coming to your website, are you directing it in the best way to lead as many people as possible to the right outcome? jonathan.crossfield@netregistry.com.au (Jonathan Crossfield) Mon, 04 May 2009 00:00:00 +1000 http://www.netregistry.com.au/news/articles/518/1/auDA-recklessness-damages-Australian-domain-industry/Page1.html 20 April 2009 - The Supreme Court's decision to grant a temporary injunction against the Australian Domain Name Administrator (auDA) on behalf of Bottle Domains has thrown the domain industry into a week of instability and chaos. There is now the possibility that - if Bottle Domains wins its case - auDA may be subject to severe damages for loss of business, potentially bankrupting the tightly budgeted administrator. "Chris Disspain of auDA has acted as judge, jury and executioner by cancelling Bottle Domains' accreditation so suddenly, and this action is now proving to be grossly negligent," says Larry Bloch, CEO and co-founder of Netregistry. jonathan.crossfield@netregistry.com.au (Jonathan Crossfield) Mon, 20 Apr 2009 00:00:00 +1000
