Get A Second SpaceNode For ÂŁ39.99/year
On 1st June the price of a SpaceNode went up from ÂŁ39.99/year to ÂŁ59.99/year after the introductory period came to a close. However, because our users need more support setting up their first website than any other, for a limited time we are keeping the old price of ÂŁ39.99/year for anyone who already owns a SpaceNode.
To find out the name of your new website, please use the domain name picker on the registration page. Instead of completing the order online, email your domain name to support team alongside any extras and we'll email you an invoice at the reduced rates.

New Feature: Countdown Block Plugin
SpaceNode owners now have access to a new Block Plugin for counting up/down to a certain date or time. The time can be a specified date, a relative date (eg: +20 seconds) or by default takes the current date. When counting down, you can specify an URL that the user is sent to when the counter reaches zero.
Uses include:
- Counting down to a certain event.
Eg1: End of Early Bird EFT Conference Tickets – https://goe.ac/ - block is on Page Left underneath conference advert and counts down till "1 July 2010 00:00:00"
Eg2: Start of the EFT Conference – https://goe.ac/conference/ - block is on Page Right and counts down till "13 Nov 2010 09:00:00"
- Counting up from an event in the past.
Eg3: Showing how long The GoE has been online - https://goe.ac/about – block is on Page Right at the top and counts up from "2 Dec 1998 00:00:00"
You can also use a certain time on a page before being directed elsewhere, which creates interesting possibilities for you such as allowing the user 20 seconds to take advantage of your special offer and letting the user view a page free-of-charge for a limited time before sending them to a sales page.
There are certain caveats when using this block plugin:
1) The timer uses the visitors date and time as given by their own browser. This means that time zones aren't accounted for. For example, if you end a sale at exactly 9:00:00 GMT (+0) then you need to make allowances upto +/- 12 hours depending where round the world the visitor is viewing your page.
2) The timer uses javascript which some people disable in their browser
New Feature: Fading Block Template
The "sliding block template" was such a success that we have now created a "fading block template". Because of restrictions in how HTML and javascript works, each content item needs to be no more than 200 pixels high otherwise it will overlap the content beneath it.

Thanks to our discount last month, we've had a nice flurry of existing sites moving to us, including:
