For a couple of years now, we (http://www.redpin.com) have offered inexpensive and rock-solid DNS hosting (http://www.redpin.com/dns.html) targeting the small-business and website-operator markets.

One or two DNS servers, 24-36 USD/year, per domain. It's a heck of a deal, if we do say so ourselves.

But what if you've got more than one domain? What if you sell hosting, or are a web developer, and need slave DNS service for multiple domains?

Now, we do that, too. :D

Over the last month, we've set up and tested a couple of slave DNS servers designed specifically for that purpose. There's nothing magical about them, or the software we're using (PowerDNS). This isn't some closely-guarded magical secret or anything. It's nothing you couldn't do yourself, if you were so inclined.

The only thing is - we know what we're doing, and we're willing to do it at a lower price than you can.

What are we talking about? We'll let you use two DNS slaves - one in the United Kingdom, and one in the heart of the United States - for 4 USD per master server, per month - or 40 USD per master server, per year. Unlimited zones (i.e. domains) per server, unlimited traffic. (And if you only want one slave, or your server happens to be in the same datacentre as one of our slaves - Equinix in Chicago or Bluesquare in London - we can do that for 3 USD per server, per month - or 30 USD per server, per year.)

There are certain unavoidable technical restrictions, which you're free to discuss with us (http://www.redpin.com/cgi-bin/contact.pl). This offer is not listed on our website - this is a WHT-only special until the end of the year, and you must contact us to order. We accept payment through 2Checkout and PayPal, as well as cheques and money orders in USD, if that's what floats your boat.

Oh, and by the way - if you'd like to try us out, we'll give eight months free service on two slave servers, for one master server, up to thirty zones, to the first three WHT members with at least 25 posts who PM us three original English-language dirty limericks. No catch, no obligation, limericks due in advance; you must have root access to your server and be running BIND/NAMED for this free offer.

How's that for a holiday deal? :D
