Hello,

I do not mind if exabytes sell at RM 55 if I'm the consumer.
You got to know that everything come with cost. So, the direct cost (the domain cost) + hidden cost + profit margin = RM 55. Please remember this is PER YEAR payment. So, Exabytes making RM 20 profit annually for a domain.

This industry is going to be a really low price industry rather than fight for quality. Consumer want everything from the hosting provider without giving them a good profit margin. To me exabytes give a really good offer (hosting + domain + staff support + hardware + bandwitdh + knowledge + time) for a fraction of your monthly salary.

Thank you,

from a consumer point of view, of course price is one of the main consideration when purchasing something. unlike a webhosting service where after sales service and performance comes first while domain registration doesn't bundle with these.

I was going to buy a domain for 5 years registration so upon calculation, that would add up like another RM100 for that domain alone.

Hello,

The cheap pricing is only from ICANN registrar. However, for webprovider, we must purchase a reseller pricing.

What the different ?

1. You buy at namecheap.com, yes it is cheap. But if you buy for your client, can you give them control panel to manage the domain ?

2. Reseller account means that we can give control panel to our customers.

End-user domain scheme :
Namecheap.com ---> you ----> your client (no control panel)
Registrar

Webprovider scheme
Directi.com/enom.com --> hosting comp. ---> you (with control panel) ---> your client


Thank you,

Dear Robot,

The pricing scheme is depending on the operation cost and target market.
It seems that the pricing structure of Exa could not satisfied you.

Maybe you could drop an email to them to request for a domain discount. They might give you that

Thank you,

Why save this small amount of RM15 while you need to have the hassle of dealing with 2 different providers (web host & domain registrar)?

And, the more money you spent with Exabytes, higher the chances for you to win in our Host & Win campaign.
Exabytes Host & Win Contest
(We have gave away hundred units of iPod til today)
Rarely drink 1 cup of Starbuck, but yes for a small cup of free freshwater from Starbuck.

Don't know when can win that iPod - a very slim chance to win as it's lucky draw.

mydeuter, simple 3 steps as below:

1. Contact our Domain Department to have your domain name unlocked and get EPP Domain Transfer Code from us.
2. Place a "Domain Registrar Transfer" order with Namecheap.
3. Once the domain is transferred, kindly inform us so that we won't continue to bill you upon next renewal.
