UPDATE: It appears the offer from Web.com Group Inc. has been trumped by 5G Networks, a publicly-listed company with no relevant industry experience who is willing to pay far more than those with experience have valued the company at.
Now more than ever, it’s time to back an Australian business.
Yesterday it was announced that Webcentral Group (ASX:WCG), which includes brands such as Netregistry and Melbourne IT, recommended a scheme of arrangement to its shareholders to be wholly acquired by multi-billion dollar US company Web.com Group Inc.
This is the same company who recently acquired Dreamscape Networks, which included brands such as Crazy Domains and Vodien.
How does VentraIP Australia compare? See our comparison pages.
If this acquisition is approved by their shareholders it will see Nexigen Digital become the largest Australian owned and operated web hosting and domain name company, and whilst that is a personally humbling achievement as a business owner, it means that more than 80% of the local market share will then be foreign owned.
If all of your domain names and web hosting services are already with VentraIP Australia – firstly, thank you – but this announcement won’t affect you.
But if you or anybody you know still has online services with any of these brands you may wish to consider getting them transferred over to us as soon as possible because:
Don’t forget, you can still be rewarded with a $50 prepaid Mastercard for every new customer you refer to VentraIP Australia who has a domain name and web hosting. Get your referral link by logging in to your VIPControl account and start referring us today!
