It's time to consider becoming your own web services and domain name reseller. Are you in one of the situations below?

You are a web designer looking to offer more services to your clients. By providing full-service web site hosting and domain name management, you earn extra income and maintain more control over your work. And you don't need to provide technical support: we'll do it for you.
You are an I.T. service provider who wants to offer added turn-key options for customers. You can keep them as your customers, while focusing on providing support to your core I.T. business.
You are a domain name investor who buys in bulk. With reseller access, you can buy domain names wholesale, at our prices, and save money.
You are looking to start a successful online business. The Internet is big, and growing bigger every day. By selling domain names and other web services, you can profit from the online revolution.

When you join Arrow Bay Partners, our reseller program, we will provide you with everything you need: products, support, even a web site. Thanks to our turn-key setup, your site is online from the moment you sign up! As a reseller, you can...

Choose your own product mix! Using our wholesale prices, you can sell domain name registrations, transfers, renewals, appraisals, and backorders; web site hosting, including full and virtual dedicated servers; e-mail accounts and services, including fax-through-email; web site builders; blogs; web site promotion and marketing tools; and more. Nearly everything that Arrow Bay offers, you can offer!
Set your own prices! There are no deposits, minimums, or advance purchases required. And our wholesale prices are among the lowest in the industry, which means higher commissions for you.
Customize your web site! Use one of our ready-made designs and choose your own logo, images, and colors. Or use the included web hosting plan to host your own reseller home page that links into the reseller system.
Focus on sales! Your customers will get full 24/7 free tech support, just as Arrow Bay provides for all its customers. We also take care of all the billing and renewal processing. You can focus on marketing your site and making sales. We'll even give you tools to do it, like free Google Adwords advertising credit, and eBooks on succeeding as a reseller.
Try it risk-free! If you don't like it, cancel your reseller account within 30 days for a full refund of the annual fee.

Arrow Bay Partners is a great deal, but we're going to make it even better with a couple of discount coupons. If you become a Pro Reseller, you can save $25 by using the coupon code "RS25OFFPRO" during the sign-up process. Or, if you just want to experiment as a Basic Reseller, you can save $10 by using the coupon code "RS10OFFBAS". (Note: current resellers can use these coupons for renewals, too!)

Can't get the domain name you want? Try DomainAlert® Pro!

blog@arrowbay.net (Arrow Bay) — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 15:56:00 GMT

Sometimes, the domain name you need is already registered. You can monitor it, however, using DomainAlert® Pro -- a set of products that helps you keep close watch over currently-registered domain names. It provides timely and invaluable information on domain status, as well as securing the inside track on registering soon-to-expire domain registrations.

DomainAlert Monitoring alerts you when a monitored domain becomes available, and keeps you informed of changes to the domain's Whois information and registration period. DomainAlert Monitoring service can be applied to any domain name, regardless of its registrant and registrar.
DomainAlert Backordering allows you to “backorder” a domain, meaning that DomainAlert will attempt to register the domain on your behalf as soon as its registration expires and the domain becomes available. DomainAlert Backordering includes DomainAlert Monitoring capabilities, as well.
DomainAlert Investor's Edge helps you by maintaining a continually updated list of expiring domains, letting you select ones you want to register upon expiration.

Check out the latest prices on DomainAlert® Pro.

Web Hosting in the New Economy

blog@arrowbay.net (Arrow Bay) — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 10:37:44 GMT

It's no secret that the economy is not as pretty as it used to be. As economic conditions leave consumers searching for ways to save time and money, Arrow Bay Internet Services has implemented a wide range of significant product and service enhancements. Whether you are running a business or an individual web site, these upgrades will help you stretch your dollar.

As more and more people look to create or bolster their online presence, we're making it simpler and easier for they to do so. For people who want to have their site developed without investing lots of time or money, Arrow Bay has introduced affordable web design services for those who want an informational site to target customers.

We also just introduced an Unlimited Hosting package designed for power users who need more disk space and bandwidth. Unlimited Hosting is available on both Windows and Linux. (The Unlimited Hosting package replaces the Premium Hosting package. Existing Premium users can upgrade through their hosting control panel.) We also recently launched an email plan with unlimited storage space and IMAP (not to mention two new Hosted Exchange email plans with BlackBerry support!).

Another time-saving tool from Arrow Bay is a new integrated product suite which allows users to quickly switch between Website Tonight, Quick Shopping Cart and Quick Blogcast. This integration is aimed at business users who want to build a complete online presence, including e-commerce, using Arrow Bay's simple-to-use products.

We've Got the .IN Thing

blog@arrowbay.net (Arrow Bay) — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 20:39:00 GMT

Hoping your Web site will become the next "in" thing on the Internet? Maybe we can help -- we just added .IN to our long list of domain offerings.

The .IN extension is actually the official country code top level domain (ccTLD) for India, but it's now available -- through Arrow Bay Internet Services -- for use as a domain by anyone in the world.

This wouldn't be the first time ccTLDs offered through Arrow Bay have caught on beyond the country they represent. In January 2008, .ME -- the country code of Montenegro - was introduced. In the last year, nearly 200,000 .ME domains have been registered for both personal and professional use.

The .IN Registry calls .IN, "a unique symbol of India and its role in the world." Currently 60 million of India's more than one billion residents are avid Internet users. Only three other countries on earth have more people online, according to Internet World Stats.

The .IN extension is available to anyone interested in registering India's top level domain. All .IN domains (.co.in, .net.in, and others) currently cost $14.99 and have a one year minimum registration requirement. Visit our site to register an .IN domain.

You can find out more information about .IN from the India Internet Registration Authority.

Happy New Year!
