New Zealand domain and hosting provider Freeparking to join Crazy Domains
One of the best-known brands in the New Zealand domain market, Freeparking, is set to disappear. This month Freeparking will be absorbed into Crazy Domains, a larger international brand with the same owners, Singapore-based Dreamscape Networks. You can read all about Crazy Domains in our explainer blog post.
This merger is due to happen on September 22. For now, both brands are still listed on our domain price comparison table, Freeparking at $53.99 and Crazy Domains at $35. Freeparking have said that Crazy Domains’ prices will prevail after the merger, but we won’t update our table until the brands are merged and everything is confirmed publicly.
We will also be keeping a close eye on Discount Domains, which is another Dreamscape-owned brand. There has been no indication that anything is changing there, but today Discount Domains describes itself as “managed by the Freeparking Group”. When Freeparking disappears, this may change.
