Simplename to pass on savings from InternetNZ domain price cuts
In response to InternetNZ reducing prices for .nz domain names, Simplename has announced it will reduce prices to match.

Richard Clark, founder of Simplename, 'Of course we'll pass on the lower fees, we're not out to gouge anyone.".

"Simplename has been advocating for fee cuts on the .nz domain name cost for some time, and we're thrilled with the extent of the cut. This is a sign that InternetNZ understands how important the .nz domain is for New Zealanders, and that it should be affordable."

There over 381,000 .nz domain names, all of which stand to benefit from the fee reduction.

"Given the economic climate, it is more important than ever for New Zealanders to be able to make themselves visible to the world market on the internet. Domain names are a key part of online marketing."

Some registrars, including Domainz, have gone on record saying they would not necessarily reduce their prices to match.

"I think that's disgraceful. We're in the middle of an economic downturn, acting as gatekeepers for .nz - something that's the property of all New Zealanders - and they're going to line their own pockets? .nz needs more visibility, more marketing, more business. We're not going to do that gouging NZ businesses."

Simplename is a .nz registrar focusing on ease of use, founded in 2007. Visit Simplename at http://www.simplename.co.nz/
