	<title>ICANN-approved registry price increases</title>
	<link>http://clients.vividhosting.com/announcements.php?id=5</link>
	<pubDate>Tue, 02 Oct 2007 00:00:00 CDT</pubDate>
	<description>In April 2007 the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) approved price increases for certain domain registries. Domain registries are the private companies which manage the registration of domain names within the top-level domains for which they are responsible, control the policies of domain name allocation, and technically operate its top-level domain(s). Domain registries VeriSign, Afilias, Neulevel and Public Interest Registry applied for price increases and received approval and will be raising their wholesale prices to all ICANN-accredited registrars. In light of that decision, VividHosting.com will not adjust its pricing tiers effective October 14, 2007. We don&amp;rsquo;t believe in penalizing our customers in order to make an extra buck, we will stand against the increase and provide the same great service our customers have come to know from us. </description>

	<description>As of 2/1/2007 we changed our name from WebsiteSpot.com and GotWebsiteHosting.com to VividHosting.com. This change is exciting because it&#039;s a tribute to our continual growth in this ever changing industry. The ownership and management has remained intact, the only change is our domain name &amp;amp; legal business name. With this growth we have launched a newly designed web site, we incorporated a new ticketing system to handle your requests and we expanded our server capabilities that will give you max performance and excellent server reliability. Another important and exciting change is our billing system. We&#039;ve licensed a very robust billing system that will now allow you to upgrade, downgrade or even add an additional product in real time. This in turn, saves you time, because you won&#039;t need to contact sales or support for these tasks any longer. IMPORTANT: If you were a WebsiteSpot.com or a GotWebsiteHosting.com customer, you have received an email stating that you have a &#039;new&#039; account or your account has been migrated to our new billing system successfully. Don&#039;t be alarmed, we are not creating a new account nor are we charging you anything. This email is simply informing you that your migration has taken place. Within that email, you received your login information and billing instructions. If you did not receive this email, please contact us at billng@vividhosting.com as soon as possible so we can give you access to your account. Lastly, our most exciting piece of news that we have is that we will soon be offering you a toll free way of contacting VividHosting.com. This will further enhance our services and give you just another way of contacting us. It is an exciting time at VividHosting.com, since 1999 we have grown by leaps and bounds, however our primary focus is still you; our customers. Thank you for your patience and patronage.

	<title>NEW EPP CODES FOR .NET and .COM</title>
	<link>http://clients.vividhosting.com/announcements.php?id=1</link>
	<pubDate>Thu, 16 Nov 2006 00:00:00 CST</pubDate>
	<description>Verisign, the registry for all .COM and .NET domains, implemented Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP), the language that registrars communicate to registries. TLD&#039;s already using EPP include .INFO, .ORG, and .MOBI. In order to transfer .NET and/or .COM domains to VividHosting.com, it will be necessary to know the EPP code prior to transfer. The EPP code will be requested in the shopping cart when trying to transfer. If you don&#039;t know the EPP code for your domain name, you will not be able to transfer the domain to us. Please contact your registrar before trying to purchase a domain with us if an EPP code is necessary so you don&#039;t have complications during the ordering process. For outgoing transfers, we will now supply an EPP authorization key for outgoing .COM and .NET domains. </description>
