Guess what happens when you omit the (silly) “dubya-dubya-dubya” from their New Zealand website address? You still get their New Zealand website. Yeah, I know. I’m disappointed too.

While they may be “smashing prices” on the stuff they flog, I hope they got a decent discount from their hosting provider for getting it configured almost correctly the first time.
