A .me domain gives your website that personal touch

There are several ways to create your own .me website. If you are creating a personal site you can use yoursurname.me, yourfullname.me, or even yournickname.me, so friends and family can easily find you. For businesses, a .me domain can be a great opportunity to give your company a more personal feel and it will complement your .com site well if you have one. It can also be a great place to highlight specific brands and/or products, for example creating the site yourbrand.me.

 Another benefit of the .me domain is its availability. It can be difficult to find the perfect web address for your site because many times somebody else has already taken the .com address you wanted. Choosing a .me domain gives you more options and opportunities to get the domain name you actually want.

Register your .me domain today for only $8.99! Offer is only available for a limited time – it expires 6/30/12 23:59 PDT, so get your .me domain before it’s too late.

We’re at the start of every great website, so we know the impact a website can have on a small business. According to a study by the Kelsey Group, 97% of consumers use the Internet to research products or services in their local area. Being online increases the visibility of your company and allows you to “stay open” 24/7.

We know getting started with a website can be daunting for small businesses, which is why we offer free one page hosting services with each domain registration. This one page can be a great way to start your website by getting some basic information about your business online. From there you can easily build on that first page to create your perfect site and start connecting with you customers online.

Let Dynadot help you get started with your website today! And if you’ll be at San Francisco Small Business Week from May 14-20 come by our booth and say hi. We’ll be doing some fun giveaways and we’d love to meet you.

We've extended our .tv special package offer!

If your site has a play button, it was made for .tv. Get yours for free today when you purchase advanced hosting!

Having a .tv domain is an easy way to tell the world that your site has online video content. Since most people are always carrying some form of video camera with them – be it through their wireless phone or pocket camera – in-the-moment video has become another way to tell your story and engage your audience. Often video content is buried, forcing users to search for video in multiple places – on your blog, within your products, etc. Improve your user experience and get your site noticed all at the same time by adding a .tv domain that can support your existing websites.

We’ve extended our .tv special package offer until 4/30/12 23:59 PDT. Get a FREE .tv domain when you register for our advanced hosting! Register yours today! Use code: HOSTTV.

1 year registrations only. Premium .tv domains excluded.

Re: Forwarding Issue Redux

Alright,  I think we got it this time.  Thanks so much for your patience!

Forwarding Issue Redux

Sorry guys,  the forwarding fix didn't hold.  We'll be trying another method.  Please stand by.

Forwarding Issue Resolved

Hi everyone,  the issue with our forwarding server has been resolved.  Thank you all so much for your patience.  We did change the IP address associated with this server,  so you may need to clear your computer's cache before you see the sites resolve properly.  Thanks again and enjoy your Sunday!

Forwarding Issue

Hi everyone.  It looks like we're having a bit of trouble with our forwarding servers.  Please bear with us while we repair the issue.  

Signs of recovery

Hello again,

The bulk of the repairs have been completed.  Because of the attack,  we did have to change the IP address associated with our ns1.dynadot.com and ns2.dynadot.com Name Servers.  There will likely be some caching issues resulting from this change.  This will clear itself in time, or you can ask your ISP to refresh your cache for immediate results.

Again we thank you so much for your patience and sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.

Site Down

Hello all,

As you may have noticed,   we are experiencing some down-time.  This is due to a DDoS attack on our main Name Servers.  We are working to resolve the issue now and expect to be up and running again shortly.  Thank you so much for patience and continued suport.
