He will reserve 20 minutes for open questions on Center Stage.
Remember, we have a new location at 790 Industrial in Bend.
Domain name registration made easy
Domain names are confusing enough. Why would you pay a couple of bucks less just to be hassled into buying add-on features you didn't know you needed? So many of the bottom-feeder services entice us with below-cost domain names, just to try to scare us into buying add-ons that should be included.
It doesn't have to be that scary. Did you know that Alpine provides a simple domain registration and management service at http://domains.alpineinternet.com/ ?
We like ours the best because contact privacy is free for all .com addresses, there are some great built-in suggestions, tips on choosing a good name, and no ads for upgrades. Plus, if you want to manage your domains yourself, there is no easier way to do it. It's just 12 bucks per year for a .com domain name.
