    +1 always been happy with my hosting through VentraIP

  • +2

    Can I give you a $1 for a Ventrasaurus Rex :O

    I'm assuming the hosting package is for new services only? I can't add this to my current service?

  • Sweeeet! Thanks love the domain I just picked up :)

  • +4

    @ventraip Great deal. Although I wish you could reward your loyal customers as well.

    • So you want them to charge existing customers $1?

  • Great deal! Happy OzB10 to you

  • Rep, When I went to pay it said invalid invoice ID and when I login to my account I see it says my order is pending. Anyway I can fix things and pay? :)

    • Same here. It worked straight away for domain registration but not for hosting registration.

    • We're looking in to this now. Won't be long. :)

    • just spoke to support.

      They've had a few issues.

      They said the invoice isn't working properly.

      Check back later to see if it went through or not.

      • +1

        If you encounter this issue please submit an eTicket to our billing team who will make the invoice payable as quickly as possible.

        Unfortunately our existing billing system doesn't like it when we get a huge influx of orders out of nowhere (thanks guys! :P), which is one of the many reasons why we'll be releasing our own system very soon!

        We appreciate your persistence as we work to fix this issue and would like to assure everybody that our billing team is making sure to honor the first 500 of each coupon code.

        • Thank you. I was having some issues with host registration and quick chat with support fixed the issue. 1 year hosting for $1 :).. now time to scratch my head around on how to build a website (noobie here).

  • Anyone get it to work?

    I can't see the invoice for the domain.

  • might try ventra when i get home

  • Recurring is $71. No thank you.

    • All you have to do is open a ticket saying you want to turn off automatic renewal. It took them less than 12 hours to turn mine off.

      • I know, but I'd rather not change hosts every 12 months. I want to choose 1 and stick with it.

        • Give Panthur a try. They are cheaper and offer more monthly bandwidth.

        • +1

          @Sergeant Salami: That is not true. On their $5 plan you get 100GB monthly bandwidth, our gives you 250GB.

        • @ventraip:

          Oh wow, I didn't realise they must have changed their plans since I last checked. I guess I was mistaken :)

        • +1

          Go with zuver.net.au - they are resellers for ventraip. Have used them since a year. No issues. Only $3 a month with 300gb traffic and 10gb space.

        • +1

          @kshitijdesai: Technically speaking they're not resellers of VentraIP Australia, they're actually our 'budget' brand which we wholly own. They run from different hardware but you have the same network and team backing you either side. :)

        • @ventraip: that sounds good too for $3. Cheers guys.

    • -1

      So you want a web host that charges $1 every year?

      • No, but if they want clients that keep renewing their service this isn't how you do it. You cut it over time. Maybe like $10-$15 a year.

  • Only PHP?

    • It's linux-based hosting with cPanel, so just no ASP/.NET. But HTML, PHP, CSS, etc, all work fine.

      • What about Python? Or Java Servlets and/or various JVM-based languages like Scala? I'm guessing I should probably just go with a cloud VM host if I want anything in the Java ecosystem, but cPanel can support Python, right?

        Also, I can't find any mention of the Ventrasaurus Rex promo on the site anymore. I just grabbed a $1 domain, but I was going to buy three other domains with you guys, and the Rex would've been a nice perk with that. Oh well. :(

  • +1

    Ordered a $1 domain. Was happy to answer this question at sign up

    How did you hear about VentraIP Australia? Oz Bargains

    • Thanks for that railspider! Here's to many happy years together. :)

  • +1

    Thumbs up for a bloody awesome deal.

    • Thanks!

  • +1

    It's a good deal but unfortunately I don't have an ABN :/.

    • +3

      Yeah you do - it's 123456789 remember?

      • Using false details is a great way to lose you access to your domain name.

    • There's always id.au which has no such requirement.

      • To me AuDa's id.au is really stupid - I've never seen someone with a personal website/email hosted on .id.au, the average person won't even know what id.au is and would probably ask if you've made a mistake or assume it themselves.

        For example, you have a website johndoe.id.au

        You tell someone to go to your website johndoe.id.au

        They assume you want them to go to johndoeidau.com.au

        Even more disastrous with emails…

        • +1

          Just to let others known I've used an .id.au address, just for emails for the past 8 years and never had a problem, with people getting confused by it.
          You sometimes get someone saying "interesting address" but thats about it.
          I expected more technical problems with it but I only once had to ask a name registration service site to support it, which that did promptly.
          I've been using ventra ip for name registration for the last 2 and half years and they have been great.

  • +1

    Is there an option to programmatically update an A record on your free DNS hosting service or do I need to roll my own DNS hosting? Looking at using this instead of dyndns for a dynamic IP site.

    • I just had a quick look. It looks like they include free DNS hosting which allows you to add the following:

      • A record
      • AAA record
      • CNAME record
      • MX
      • TXT
      • SRV
      • NS
    • +2

      Just use CloudFlare DNS and use their API to change records

      • Thanks for the tip - will check it out

    • The dynamically updating of records is not a supported feature with the included free DNS with VentraIP.

  • +1

    Thank you - ordered both domain and hosting.

    • +1

      No, thank you! :)

  • +2

    Thanks! Already have ~50 domains registered at VentraIP…

    • +1

      Thank you for your continued support!

    • Scotty, if you haven't already take a look at Synergy Wholesale. With 50+ domain names that can be very worthwhile.

  • +1

    No love for existing customers wanting to renew?

    • We had deals for customers wanting to renew last week during Customer Appreciation Week. Sorry!

      • I only saw one, and you had a caveat that had to have a renewal date before June. (I'm in July). :(

        • Don't worry we'll have more renewal discounts available during our MEGAMayMonth sale next year! :)

        • @ventraip:
          Sweet. Thought I was in the bermuda triangle of discount missing.
          Thanks! :)

  • +1

    Do the codes work for transfers?

    • +1

      Transfers of .au domain names are free and the coupon cannot be applied to renewals it's only for new registrations only.

  • +1

    This is a genuine bargain. $1 domain regos for .au are all but impossible to get. Been a customer on/off for the last 6+ years with no complaints. Good stuff ventra.

    • No, thank you Keithality!

      We sincerely appreciate your ongoing loyalty for so long and are glad to hear you keep coming back! ;)

  • Darn just registered a domain the other day at the Customer Appreciation Week deal which was still >20$.. :-/

    • Same here

  • I tried to buy the domain .com.au. I put random ABN,entered the voucher and then it got rejected via email.

    Fair enough, I tried to buy the domain .id.au. I put the the voucher,clicked submit and didn't check that it charged me 19 AUD.

    Can I get it cancelled?

    edit : Apparently it also charged me $1 AUD already even though they rejected my domain application
    How should I proceed?

    • It got sorted out by ventraip in 5 minutes after I submitted a ticket. Thank you very much!

    • Hi sorasora,

      As you've probably realized by now, being a fully-accredited registrar comes with some responsibility! As such our automated system verifies the details you've provided when signing up for any domain name that has eligibility requirements before actually registering the domain.

      We're very sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused you and are glad to hear everything was fixed in a timely manner! :)

  • +1

    Is it possible to order the Web hosting without knowing an Address in Advanced? I would like to make a portfolio website, but dont know what address i would like yet, and i dont have an ABN for a .AU address.

    • You snooze you lose. Just use your real name and get a sole-trader ABN online from ASIC or use a friends/family member ABN.

      • Prefer not to get an ABN, i hear it complicates tax and other stuff.
        Looks like the code works on .id.au, therfore no need for an ABN, Thanks anyway!

        • no, it doesn't effect your tax affairs at all. It doesn't effect your GST or anything like that. Just a registration.

    • +2

      You sure can benllben!

      Simply register the hosting service and select option #3 "I will update my nameservers on an existing domain Or I will register a new domain." during the ordering process. Enter the domain name you think you want and then proceed to checkout.

      Once you know what domain name you want associated with the hosting service (and have purchased it!) log in to your VIPControl account and change the primary domain name to your new choice. Please note that your hosting service will be provisioned on the day of purchase and prepaid time will be used from said date.

      • +1

        Thank you! I have purchased a .id.au for now just to have something to brush up on my PHP knowledge.
        I assume i can re-point the hosting later to another address i may eventually purchase as with any regular hosting.

    • +1

      Is it possible to order the Web hosting without knowing an Address in Advanced? I would like to make a portfolio website, but dont know what address i would like yet.

      Your post is quite weirdly worded. But I think you mean domain name yes you can order a web hosting package without having the domain name.

      However when you do the initial registration of the hosting package you will need to provide one. This can be changed relatively easy after the fact. Just use something like "benllben.dev" when setting up in registering for the hosting package.

      A host file modification on your local system can make that domain name resolve relatively easy so you can develop your site. When you finally pick your domain name it's relatively easy to change this in VIP Control to the new one. You may need to make additional changes to your site if you choose to use a content management system.

      i dont have an ABN for a .AU address.

      If you do want to register a .AU in the future you will need an ABN. The good news is there is many choices out there that don't have this kind of restriction. There's always id.au which has no such requirement.

    I already have a domain name with VentraIP and just registered another one. I also already have the Economy Saver service. Can I use it to host these two domains or do I have to buy another service? Cheers

    • +1

      A single hosting service can definitely be used for multiple websites, however we don't particularly recommend doing so with our Economy services due to shared resources bottle-necking the performance of your services. :)

      • however we always recommend doing so

        Just to clarify, do you recommend getting 2 services for 2 domains, if they are Economy or 1 service for the 2 domains?

        • +1

          Sorry, our initial response had a typo which may have been somewhat confusing. ;)

          We often see our customers set up multiple small websites or test sites for personal use on a single service, however this isn't really recommended if you're going to have a bit of traffic as the resources are shared between the two services and can cause performance issues during peak periods.

    • As already mentioned by the representative from VentraIP. While this is technically something you can do in most circumstances this can be a bad idea. But it really depends on the traffic and what type of website's you're going to be running on there. The safest thing is to put them on single packages that way they have their own resources.

      However if you just have two domain names and you want them to go to the same website that would be perfectly fine.

  • +1

    Have the 500 domains all gone? Was $1 in the cart, but then $20 or so when went to pay in Paypal.

    • +1

      I'm surprised they haven't gone sooner.

    • Just checked I can confirm the coupon still applies for me so there is it least one available still regarding the exact number left that would be something for the representative from VentraIP to give an answer on.

    • worked for me just now $1

  • Any chance of a deal on a .com domain?

    • Hi BigTed,

      Nothing at the moment but we're always running promotions on new domain names through our VIPSales so check it out!

      https://ventraip.com.au/vipsales/

  • +1

    Hey OP, Is it possible to install our own version of Linux (like CentOS, Ubuntu or Debian) and PostgreSQL database ?

    • No this is shared hosting. If you want to be able to do that you will need to purchase a VPS from VentraIP.

      • ok, So question to OP. Any special deals on VPS hosting ?

        • Nothing at the moment Paul11 but if you sign up to our weekly VIPSales mailing list you'll be the first to know!
          (we recently offered 60% off our E-VPS range through one of our Wednesday sales)

  • thanks! just bought hosting and registered a domain for a year!

  • DAMN IT!! I wasn't paying attention and mis-typed the domain name I was going to buy.
    Sigh… Lost opportunity :( but my fault!
    Great deal!

    • ozbragain.com.au is taken, folks

    Just bought a domain name. Thanks!

    Just bought a domain name. Thanks heaps :)

    The domain name code doesn't work any more?

    • That appears to be the case looks like. They're all out I believe there was only going to be 500 so looks like they have hit that number.

      The promotion code entered has already been used

  • +7

    Stock Update - 11:00PM 21/11

    This has been an overwhelming response so thank you again!

    OZB10HOST - There are just 23 uses of this coupon left. Get in quick!

    OZB10AUDOM - All uses of this coupon have been taken however given the response we have added another 50 uses!

    Enjoy. :)

    • +1

      You guys are awesome, thanks for the fantastic deal!

    • And it appears the additional 50 have gone already.

      • Yeah :(

    • Ran into some issues while ordering late afternoon so tried back again now and seems all gone. Any chance to get a few more rep since OzBargain 10th Bday continues today, so hope to get some :)

      • If you email our sales team we're sure they will be able to help you out!

        [email protected]

        • Thanks rep, I will drop you a PM and also an email to this email ID. Thanks again.

    I would have gone for the host deal as well as the domain, but the domain was $1 until I went to pay with Paypal and then it was over $20. I didn't go ahead but I got an invoice for the over $20 anyway. Can you fix this?

    • +1

      Same here, thank you so much for offering this deal Ventra, shame I couldn't get it to go through either -__-
