Pay for your domain for several years all in one go – and think about something else instead!

Some domain names you just know that you are not going to deregister in the near future, and may often even be crucial, for example, to the success of a business that they are kept active. And, if nothing else, it can be nice not to have to worry about whether you have paid the annual fee. If these scenarios seem like they apply to you, then it could be a good idea to arrange for multi-year payments for your .se domain names.

.SE Direkt can now offer billing for payment periods that are specifically suited to you. Log in to the DomainManager and select the number of years you want, from one to ten. Read more about multi-year payments here.

Keep track of your domains with DomainManager

You have logged in to your account on the DomainManager, haven’t you? That is where you can make all kinds of updates and selections for your domains with .SE Direkt. For example, you can see the date of when your next bill will be sent and check the address information that is registered with your account. You can also select multi-year payments, activate the text-message service, and register new domain names when you are logged in to your account on the DomainManager. If you have not logged in to the DomainManager before or have forgotten your password, read more here.

Text-message news flashes that you haven’t paid for your domain

We know that many of you highly value your domain names and it is important for our customers that these domain names are renewed and remain active. For this reason, we launched a new service at the beginning of the summer whereby you can receive a text-message reminder to tell you that you have missed a payment of your domain fee and that your domain may be deactivated, meaning that it could be closed because no payment has been received.

The service is free and can be activated from your account in the DomainManager. You will also be able to see the next date on which you will receive a bill. Read more about our text-message service here.

The Internet Days – Sweden’s most important Internet conference

Of course you know that as a customer of .SE Direkt you are part of developing the Internet? Proceeds from the fees for .se domains go to projects aimed at promoting the development of the Internet. For example, some of the fees that you pay for your domain names go toward arranging the Internet Days – Sweden’s most important Internet conference.

The annual Internet Days conference, which this year will take place at the Stockholm Waterfront Congress Center on November 21-23, is being organized by .SE for the twelfth consecutive year. The Internet Days conference is the most important meeting place for everyone interested in the Internet and its development in both Sweden and internationally.

The main themes of the 2011 conference are: society, security, technology, domain names, media landscape, an open Internet, IPv6 and cloud services. You can attend lectures on such subjects as Wikileaks by Yochai Benkler, Bredbandskollen Live, IPv6 on the mobile network and no less than three talks on approval of new top-level domains from a variety of viewpoints.

More information about the conference and program is available from the website: http://www.internetdagarna.se/en/

Take look at .SE’s website for details about other events. There is everything from highly technical workshops to seminars targeted to such groups as teachers.
