10% off First Time Service Registration @ VentraIP

20
WELCOME10

I was offered this discount while setting up a new account for a friend. Used this while registering a new domain name on my existing account with multiple services and the code worked. Not sure if this will work for renewals.

    check out this wiki before buying a domain, Personally I would try and buy at micron21 you will get it at cost price ($8.61 right now) and renew at cost price forever if you buy a domain with them, and if you already have a domain maybe move it to click-host and save 50% of ventraip's renewal price.

    • Do you use either yourself?

        Yes I have one domain with Micron21 and the other domains I didn't purchase with Micron21 are in click host. They are all pretty much identical to each other feature wise. I did have VentraIP at one stage but why pay twice as much?

          As the primary maintainer of the wiki, thanks for sharing and I would agree VentraIP's pricing is out of control given the quality of service and level of support they offer these days.

          • @Kyle-K: Thanks for the wiki, I never would have known about the cheaper options without it.

    • Wow didn't realise VentraIP's prices kept going up.
      If I transfer, do I need to wait for it to expire? I prepaid a few yrs on mine.

      Why not CloudLoop 10c less than Click Host?

      • You can transfer whenever you want as far as I know. I did a few Ventra to Click Host a month ago and it was really fast, I guess because they are the same wholesaler like porting phone number from Boost to Aldi.

        Yeah I don't know if cloudloops price is new I didn't see it when I was transferring, or until you just brought it up. But check em out.

          Depends on the extension.

          I did a few Ventra to ClickHost a month ago and it was really fast, I guess because they are the same wholesaler.

          Most of the providers in Australia, use VentraIP's wholesale arm, Synergy Wholesale. As most of the other resell/wholesale platforms are horrible.

          • @Kyle-K: Figures, domains are pretty esoteric with their rules. Is there a good page somewhere that lists all the rules and differences between the .au domains when I have a quick look the auda factsheet on transferring domains isn't very specific.

            • @denserham: I should probably expand the wiki a little for .au to include the information.

              But essentially, most Australians need to be aware of two sets of rules ICANN policies, which apply to all top level domains and auDA rules and policies who is the governing body and controls the country code top-level domain .au.

              When it comes to ccTLD's they can have different rules as normally each country is responsible for how there two letter country code is run.

              We do a bunch of things that are different from ICANN policy when it comes to .au some things in my opinion a better others are not.

        CloudLoop selling below cost and is trying to undercut the market they're also relatively new and their reputation is non-existent.

        Wow didn't realise VentraIP's prices kept going up.

        VentraIP has set themselves to be a certain point in the market and it's just not, competitive, unless you're with one of the worst providers in the industry.

        If I transfer, do I need to wait for it to expire? I prepaid a few yrs on mine.

        This question really depends on the extension of the domain I'm not going to just presume it's a .au domain.

        • I got .au, com, com.au, net, net.au
          some paid up 1200 days :O

          I don't want to support someone who sells below cost, they won't last.

          • @furyou: Okay, the .au domain names are free to transfer, but as you're paid up multiple years you can't renew them as they need to be in the last 90 days referred to as the renew period to apply a renewal and can be pretty much moved it any time but you could move them now, for free just won't be able to apply any additional years.

            .com and .net, technically, cost money to transfer, but the transfer typically adds a year of registration and they need to not be in a 60 day lockout period.

            But if they are VentraIP, there on Synergy Wholesale and you can technically contact the provider if they're also on Synergy Wholesale and ask them if they will do a free internal transfer for you.

            But on non-.au domain names, the better deal is offshore with someone like Porkbun.

            Personally I use Clickhost for all my .au domains and Porkbun for everything or except for one domain name, a emoji domain. and technically a lot of my domain names are at Google Domains temporary as I take a vantage of the Turkish roundabout. Which has sadly expired.

            • @Kyle-K: thanks looks like I'll have to wait a bit for times to run down. Sadly a bunch just renewed last week

              • @furyou: Think of it this way while VentraIP's pricing is a little bit higher compare to what you found on the wiki, they qualify for being on the wiki and there is definitely much worse pricing out there.

      I just dropped VentraIP after many years when they just recently upped their price by 40%.

  • Random question for anyone else who uses Ventra, have you been having issues with emails not coming in or being auto blocked that shouldn't be?

    • Which platform you on? a shared hosting account or dedicated email.

      • Using "Select Hosting Shared Hosting" and running emails form the same service (Cpanel).

        • Unfortunately, that is problematic at most web hosting providers most of the good ones try their best, but you can't win them all unfortunately.

          The good providers will have a handful of incidence a year the really bad once it'll be constant.
