Fair and Simple Pricing Without the Gimmicks

With the end of the year fast approaching, my annual ritual of reviewing the past 12 months and looking forward to the year ahead has started in earnest.  Not unlike most people, some of my failures and New Year fixes revolve around my waist size.  This past year can be summarized as winning the small battles, but losing the war.

With renewed vigor, I plan to fight again in 2010, but with one major change.  This year, my strategy to fight the bulge starts with making weight loss simple and straightforward.  Enough with diet books, special meal programs, boot camps, or infomercials, which often result in some sort of gimmick or untruth.  Simple, truthful, and straightforward is the plan.

So why start this blog entry with my belt size? The reason is that many gimmicks and ploys also plague the domain industry as well.  For instance, how can some domain companies set their REGULAR price for a particular domain below known registry prices?  One better get ready for a litany of restrictions, constant up-selling, unwanted and invasive advertising, reduction of support, or other problems when choosing such a company – buyer beware.

Like my diet plan, HEXONET’s philosophy of doing business is to make domains simple, truthful, and straightforward.  Where domains are offered with no restrictions, full support, abundance of features, no advertising, no up-selling, and at great prices, some at industry leading rates.  HEXONET can do this through ultra high efficiency and mass volume, where every penny saved is shared with our customers.

HEXONET publicly posts domain prices because we know we have highly competitive prices.  Also, we offer free registration and use of our system, because we have nothing to hide, our systems are that good.  HEXONET and our customers succeed because we keep things simple, truthful, and straightforward – hopefully my weight loss will also!
