* * Maternity News * *
As some of you may already know, one of our team is currently expecting. Lisa Mackay is due to start on her maternity leave in mid to late October, so will therefore be out of the office for a few months. We'd like to wish her and the newborn (when he or she arrives) all the very best.
 
We're pleased to say that we now have a new employee who will be working with us while Lisa is on maternity leave, and will possibly remain with us on a permanent basis once Lisa returns. We'd therefore like to introduce you to Jo Donald who is taking on the role of Support and Sales Administrator. We're sure that you'll all soon get to know her and that she'll help with any queries that you might have if you get in touch with our team.

* * The Latest Domain Scams * *
Unfortunately there is always someone out to make a buck on the internet, we would therefore like to urge caution in relation to any emails you might receive in relation to renewal of your domain names. There are several organisations who send emails, making it appear to be an invoice for a renewal to prompt you into paying them for services. Sometimes they'll be looking to take the money and run, others will be attempting to get your approval to do a transfer by making it look like a standard renewal.
 
We've put an example of one of the current scams doing the rounds online so that you can take a look at the sort of tactics being used. If you ever receive an email that you're not sure about - please feel free to get in touch with us and we'll be able to confirm whether or not it's a genuine message.

There will be the opportunity for you to win a bottle of champagne when you vote, and we can win a feature in the newspapers. Watch out for those details in the Highland News, Lochaber News, North Star, Inverness & Nairn Herald and the Ross-shire Herald.
 
Thank you in advance for your support!
 
* * Half Price .info Domain Registrations * *
As we've been offered a reduced price on .info domains from our top level supplier, we'd like to pass that saving on to you. During the month of October we'll be offering half price .info domain registrations (with the discount applying to the first year only). If you'd like to register a .info domain name for £12.50 + VAT please go to the following website:

* * Buy a Domain for that Unusual Christmas Present * *
Looking for that gift for someone who already has everything, then why not register a domain name for them for Christmas?
 
We've been seeing an increase in the number of domain names that are being bought for relatives and friends, and know that many of these are for Christmas presents. For example, if you were buying a domain name for John Smith, you might consider johnsmith.com, john-smith.co.uk or johnsmith.me.uk. You can also pay for the domain for up to 10 years so the present lasts more than just one Christmas. It's a great present for someone who's difficult to buy for.
