Why Our
Prices Are So Low
You are probably wondering how we can charge as much as 70% less than our
competition and still be in business, right?
First of all, we run a tight ship. We choose our promotions carefully and
ensure every advertising dollar pays for itself; we streamline our systems and
billing processes; we don't have any frills. We also don't waste money on
unnecessary things like toll-free telephone numbers that are often abused
anyway.
Second, we're straight shooters. There are no tricks in what we do,
just good, old-fashioned, reliable business principles. Quite often we're
asked if we bait our customers with low rates and then charge high renewal
prices. Anybody that expects us to do that will be disappointed. We believe in
the old saying, "You can shear a sheep many times but you can only skin it
once." So, your renewal rates will be no higher than the rate you paid when
you initially registered your domain name, or what our registration rates were
when you transferred your domain name to us (the only exceptions would be if
the price the registry charges us increased, or if you took advantage of a
limited-time, special price. If the registry increases our cost, yours will go
up by no more than the same percentage ours did).
What's the end result of all this? Well, we're happy to tell you that we're a
small but profitable company that expects to be in business for many years to
come. All this, of course, is due to value-conscious customers like you.
1. Guaranteed renewal price.
You'll never pay more to renew your domain name than the rate you paid
when you initially registered it, or what our registration rate was when
you transferred. (The only exceptions would be if the price the registry
charges us increased, or if you took advantage of a limited-time,
special price. If the registry increases our cost, yours will go up by
no more than the same percentage ours did.)
2. Risk-free, money-back
guarantee transfers.
No matter how hard we try, a domain transfer occasionally fails. This is
usually due to your former registrar trying to keep your money, even
though it is legally required to comply with your transfer request. With
our Partnership with Go Daddy, you're protected. First, the Rapid
Transfer System saves time and eliminates errors by extracting critical
information automatically. You no longer need to find it and type it in
yourself. Second, our Transfer Concierge team is trained, dedicated, and
available to you 24/7 with personal, caring assistance. And finally, we
believe that you paid your money and that you have every right to expect
that transfer to occur, no matter who is at fault. So we've made your
transfers absolutely risk free and fully refundable. If your transfer to
GoDaddy.com fails for any reason, we'll let you know and refund your
money. Guaranteed.
3. More
FREE, value-added services with every domain.
At PC Buyer, we're proud to have you as a customer and want you to get
the most out of your domain ownership. So we give you all of the
following FREE with every domain purchase: Quick Blog,
Hosting with Web site builder;
Complete Email ($9.99/yr value!); change of registrant; parked or "For
Sale" page; domain locking; status alerts; domain forwarding; domain
masking; total DNS control; and 100 email forwards.
4. Consistently lower
prices on everything we offer.
It starts with low-cost domains. But it extends to everything else we
develop (right here, in-house) and offer. Like hosting accounts,
spam-protected email accounts; domain services, utility software and
more. And we’re constantly developing more, better, lower-cost ways to
improve your domain ownership, Internet- and PC-experience.
5. Best-in-industry live
customer support, 24 / 7.
This is a point of pride for us. You deserve the best, and we won’t
settle for providing anything less. We’re available to you either by
phone, web board, or email 24 hours a day, everyday. Many of our
competitors don’t even provide a telephone number for you to call!
6. Fast, easy bulk domain
transfers and registrations
Our super-low prices, intuitive tools, Rapid Transfer System™ and
concierge support make it a snap.
7. Just-right, affordable
hosting options.
We host all of our customer sites on our own secure servers. Most of our
competitors job their hosting out to the lowest bidder. If you ever have
an issue with your PC Buyer hosting, just call us and we’ll be on
it immediately. With the competition, there’s no telling who you should
call.
8. Superior domain search
and management tools.
Our domain search and portfolio management tools are second to none.
Once you’ve registered your domain names, just log in at "Manage My
Domains" and select domains to modify, either individually or in bulk.
Apply your changes or add additional services – it’s fast and easy.
9. Fierce protection of
your personal information.
We do our best to prevent your data from being "mined." And unlike some
of our competitors who will happily sell your information to anyone for
a price, we will never under any circumstance make it available to third
parties, unless legally required to do so. (Please do understand,
though, that information in the Whois database is public domain. We do
everything possible to prevent screen access to it, but under certain
circumstances it can be obtained.)
10. Unique, valuable and
innovative software and services.
At PC Buyer, you can get everything you need to make the most out of
your domain ownership and Internet experience. We offer Private
"unlisted" Registrations; Web Site Builders; Traffic BlazerŪ (search
engine registration); Quick Shopping CartŪ (if you want an online
store); Hosting & Servers, Email, Blog and Podcast products; and much
more.
