Gloucester, UK: Fasthosts Internet Ltd, the UK's number one web
hosting company, today rolled out an offer that provides Buy One, Get
One Free' on domain names registered until 31 August 2008. New or
existing customers who register a .com domain, will receive a free
.co.uk registration for 2 years, worth GBP5.90+VAT. The offer, with no
catches or ties, is a great opportunity for small businesses and
organisations to expand their visibility online and better protect
their brand identity for free. Fasthosts has used its economies of
scale, as home to more websites than any other UK provider, to pass
savings onto its users. Customers simply register any .com domain
registration, priced at GBP8.89/year+VAT, before 31 August 2008 and
receive a 2 year .uk domain registration of their choice (such as
.co.uk), worth GBP5.90+VAT, absolutely free. The deal is the latest
effort from Fasthosts to make effective web usage more affordable for
smaller players.

Steve Holford, CMO Fasthosts Internet Ltd, said "Plenty of providers
offer discounts, but what users really need is to experiment with new
solutions without risk. Our Buy One, Get One Free' deal is a great
way to see the impact of using more domains without investment. It is
especially important for businesses to ensure that their shop-window
onto the world is as prominent as possible".

A recent research study[1] commissioned by Fasthosts, found that UK
businesses most often choose their primary domain name in haste, with
41 per cent investing under 1 hour of thought in the decision. The
survey of 615 British businesses revealed that the average business
spends only between 6-12 hours choosing their main domain name, and 61
per cent of business owners sought no second opinion before making a
selection. Most significantly, one third (33 per cent) believed that
their sales revenue would improve as a direct result of changing their
web address. Hence, Fasthosts' free domain offer is an ideal
opportunity for businesses to consider their options and modify or
expand their web identity with ease.

Holford added, "Domains are often bought with little thought at the
start of an online project. Website owners have much to gain from
regularly reviewing their domains to ensure that their website is
working as hard as possible."

As the UK's largest web host, Fasthosts offers a comprehensive range of

web solutions including domain name registrations, email solutions
(including mobile email services), shared web hosting, dedicated
