Hi all,

Feel free to ask any questions here - As stated in the post, being a smaller company we can only really provide 200 free domains. Just trying our bit to give some domains away too :)

Purchase isn't required at all, but very much appreciated to help offset our costs - Plus if purchasing for a business, your hosting will be tax-deductible.

Thanks everyone.

Free domain may require an ABN/ACN as per AUDA policy, so NO personal domain?
- Store RepObble @ Obble on 31/05/2021 - 16:42
  
  Hi,
  
  Correct - The domain registration will simply fail with an invalid ABN or ACN, we can't bypass this rule unfortunately. So all the registrations must have valid details or they will simply fail.
  
  Cheers & feel free to ask anything else.

      I believe that's correct. You should be able to register .id.au with personal details only.
      
      Please though let us know if you have issues doing so (If you're planning to register one).

        @Obble: It still presents the form asking for an ABN/ACN if you choose .id.au.
        
        However, I was able to reach the point of payment no entering 'none' for the ABN, even for a .com.au domain. I'm a bit confused about how much of a rock solid requirement it is.
        
        I'd prefer not to register if it will be a hassle further down the road.
        
        Cheers

  Hi,
  
  We do provide free transfers, cPanel to cPanel. We do all the work, but understandable.
  
  For domains, if you're doing a domain transfer then yes they will get extended for another year. If you're transfering a .com.au these are free to transfer, if you have more than 3 months remaining. So no cost, but also no extension.
  
  Other domains transfer & add 1 year as normal. Happy to help with anything else too.

  Our servers are all provided by OVH, Sydney. So we're on their network, we don't currently own our own hardware & colocate.
  
  We support IPv6 on our VPS plans only at this stage - And building on that, we can provide a discount on VPS hosting. 50% is our usual, so we can apply the same discount as this to VPS. You'd have to send a message privately though so we can organise the coupon code - It would be a lifetime discount too.

@OP - I'd love somewhere to run my web apps, but they are docker containers. Do any of your hosting solutions include docker support?

      Sure does. You’ll run whatever OS you’d like and then can install docker & other software as required.
      
      You’ll get a dedicated IP which you can then point to with your domain.
      
      Pricing is $10/GB of memory, $5/month absolute cheapest we can do for a 1gb vps with a custom discount. Again just PM us if that interests you

  Hi,
  
  Which domain is this? Can you send a message directly and I will investigate.
  
  Some domains require ABN details and if incorrect details are placed then it will fail. I can have a look into the order for you.

  Come on man, OP's clearly doing their best, this is a hasty downvote. Worse still if you are complaining about a free domain.

Interested in buying a domain and getting onto this deal while it’s cheap… especially lifetime price. Really cool.

Does your web hosting support Wordpress server? I’m a bit of a web hosting noob here and haven’t built a website up for years, but when I did the hosting helped me load Wordpress on, so I’m keen to see what someone like me could do.

  Sure does! WordPress can be installed with a single button via cPanel, enter your desired details and it does the rest.
  
  If you have any troubles after ordering, open a ticket and we're happy to help.

Hi there, just purchased the annual plan. Thank you for the fantastic deal.

Just one suggestion from a well-intentioned UX designer, on the dashboard it says "mydomain.com.au (Discounted)". You may want to think about changing the word 'discounted' to something else because I can imagine at least a few people reading it as 'Discontinued'. Might save your customer support team some time!

  Good call. Thanks for this!
  
  Previous to this deal we used to use coupon codes on the plans, so they never had any mention at all. In this instance to provide free domains (until sold out) we had to find a work around.
  
  I'll get that fixed now.

Hi, possibly keen to Cpanel transfer to Intermediate or Premium SSD, can you give me any existing client account domains/IP's to run some tests on?
- Store RepObble @ Obble on 01/06/2021 - 16:43
  
  Hi,
  
  Here's a test IP: 139.99.166.194
  Here's a URL to test download: test.obble.com.au
  
  And here's a long-standing client of Obble who is happy for his site to be posted: sawebstudio.com
  
  Thanks!

  Hi,
  
  Unfortunately at this stage we don't support .it domains. Sorry about that!

Would you offer 12 months web hosting and a free .au domain package for sale?Thanks OP.

  Hi,
  
  Thanks for your interest. We already have our discount on hosting at 50% off, and all 200 domains were taken up on the first day.
  
  Unfortunately we can't provide a free domain in addition, but if you're buying hosting with us we can discount the .au domain for you - Just PM here, or send an email to [email protected]
  
  Thanks!

Hey OP,

Out of interest, does your hosting offer a backup service? Would it be one we could setup to automatically back up (if need be)?
- Store RepObble @ Obble on 07/06/2021 - 13:49

  Hi,
  
  Yes by default we have weekly cPanel backups & daily JetBackups.
  
  You can download these yourself externally if you wish - And we encourage you to do so. Our backups rotate the oldest ones. Happy to answer anything else also.

This was posted 3 years 6 months 22 days ago, and might be an out-dated deal.
