Package Pricing
Skyhound Internet launches our new package pricing specials. Now, in addition to custom design services we offer an easy and affordable way to bring your business to the web. Package pricing on template based sites will save you time and money.

Skyhound Internet has been providing web site design and hosting services since 1998. For years we focused on custom design services by creating unique websites designed to meet the needs of individual businesses. While these services are still the thrust of our business, this May we have launched a new marketing plan to offer pre-designed websites to customers.

Pre-designed websites are templates created by us and a pool of other designers worldwide. These top quality designs, which would cost several thousands of dollars if we created them custom, are now being offered at special package discount prices.

You'll get a website that looks like you spent thousands for a lot less. We have thousands of pre-designed templates to look through, and some of our newest templates even include Flash Intros and Flash elements.

What's more is you'll get a website that still is custom, as we create it with your logo, images, and links.

We want to level the playing field for small businesses all over by offering big business websites at affordable prices.

Check out more info on our pre-designed website packages. We think you'll agree it's a fast and economical way to get online for small to medium sized businesses.

Domain Scams
Skyhound Internet alerts customers about domain name registration and transfer scams as well as search engine promotion scams. Don't fall victim to these tricks by reading our customer information bulletin below:

We have been made aware that there are a few companies that are sending out "Domain Renewal Notices" to our clients through postal mail. These domain renewal notices look just like an actual invoice, and try to trick you into paying
the domain registration fee. Although paying the fee will renew your domain, it also transfers it to another register company that charges much higher fees. Many times the register company is overseas.

We do not recommend you pay any of these phony invoices.

In most cases, Skyhound Internet handles all domain renewals for our web hosting clients. You will receive notices directly from us via email, or you may be set up for automatic renewal service if you have credit card or quarterly billing.

If you have any questions about how your domain renewal is handled, please let us know.

In addition to domain renewal scams, some customers have reported getting "Search Engine Submission Invoices". These letters also look like an invoice and offer you to renew your search engine submission service, for a fee.

Although you can use this service to help promote your website, we recommend that you read the fine print on these offers before acting upon them. We are very leery of doing business with any company which tries to fool you into paying a bill that is not actually due.

Skyhound Internet also offers search engine submission services, so if you are interested in this option, please let us know.

Unfortunately, when registering domain names the information contained in the domain record is available to the public. This is how these companies acquire your addresses.

There are new privacy services that will mask your company name, address and email in domain records. Please let us know if you would like to do this with your domain names.

If you have any questions about either of these issues, or any material regarding your domains that you receive in the mail, please let us know.
