Enom central price increase
This is a reprint of an email received from enom central announcing a Web site registration renewal price increase from $15 to $39.95 per domain:
Valued Customer,
This is a follow up to the notification sent on 10/19/2011.
In July 2011, eNomCentral was notified by VeriSign that it plans to raise the cost for their respective domain extensions on January 15, 2012. As with previous VeriSign price increases, eNomCentral must adjust our pricing such that we can absorb the increased costs for reselling VeriSign’s domains. Historically, eNomCentral has always been resistant to raising our prices. Our goal has always been to provide domain name and value-added services at competitive rates. Unfortunately, based on this announcement from VeriSign, eNomCentral must modify our pricing to address the increased cost of reselling these VeriSign domains.
Effective January 14, 2012 your new domain pricing will be: New Price: $39.95
If you have any questions, please contact us at +1(425)974-4689 or customercare@enom.com.
Sincerely,
eNomCentral Support Team
Simple and Basic PC Care Tips
1. Have an up-to-date anti-virus system. ESET has been flawlesshas been flawless system. ESET has been flawless at a subscription cost of about $50 per year.
2. If you have data or want to save your browsing favorites, passwords or history, have a live online backup system. Carbonite is the best at a subscription cost of about $50 per year. It saves all of your data online every day.
3. Have a USB thumb drive system restore disk. USBs are more durable and portable than CDs or DVDs. Windows 7 makes it easy; just search for instructions for “system restore dick” or ask me to help make one if you don’t have it already.
4. If you have long term data files like personal photos or music, have a data backup disk. Windows 7 does backups automatically; all you have to do is supply a drive. Good choices are a USB thumb drive, a media card (like those used in phones or cameras), or a portable hard drive (best if you have music or video to back up). All of these are cheap, ranging from $20 to $100.
5. Manually review, tune-up and clean up your PC every few months or sooner if performance slows down. Check for unwanted programs in the startup process (using Task Manager), pending updates that are not installed (Using Windows Update and check the notification icons) and remove extra junk that slow down the PC (using Disk Cleanup).
