Narre Warren based VentraIP Australia, the largest privately owned provider of web hosting and domain name registrar services in Australia, has announced that it will give away 10,000 domain names to help local businesses get started online during the Covid-19 crisis.
In what will be known as The Great Australian Domain Name Giveaway, local business owners and entrepreneurs who do not currently have an online presence will be able to register a free Australian domain name for one year in what the company says is the largest ever giveaway of its kind.
Angelo Giuffrida, the 29 year old CEO of the company, said he was proud to be able to help the community get through such a challenging time.
“Getting your existing business or your new idea online is now more important than ever, and if we can do something to help people achieve this then that’s a win for everybody”, he said.
The company will fund the offer using the cashflow assistance package announced by the Federal Government last month.
“We’ve been extremely fortunate that our revenue has not suffered a major downturn since the crisis began but we will still receive that funding, so in good faith we decided to use that money to assist other businesses transition to working online and to help people who may have lost their jobs and may have a great idea that they can build a business from.”
The company employs more than 60 staff members in its Narre Warren officer servicing to more than 200,000 customers.
