Hello GDI affiliates,

Whether you are purely a customer using our products and services, or also an affiliate promoting them, we have an incredibly exciting year in store for you!

2007 proved to be another milestone year for Global Domains International. 2006 was previously our best year ever in terms of revenue and profit, and last year we once again exceeded the prior year’s marks for both. Some of the exciting improvements we brought you in 2007 include:

• Accepting PayPal as another form of payment.
• Allowing username changes.
• Offering domains in several other extensions in addition to our core .WS suffix.
• Allowing customers to prepay for domains instead of paying monthly.
• Releasing our Dynamic DNS system so .WS domains are updated in real-time.
• Increasing the default mailbox size from 100 megabytes to 1 gigabyte (10 times increase!).
• Being approved as a member of the Direct Selling Association (the world’s foremost trade association of exclusive, top-tier, network marketing companies).

As great as our growth to date has been, we continue to strive to take it to the next level. Our goal is to provide our customers the best products possible and make every part of your online experience with us enjoyable and fulfilling.

To this end, we have been spending a great deal of time and resources researching exactly what our customers want from us. In addition to the highly personalized domains we offer, the vast majority of our customers use webmail and SiteBuilder. With that in mind, we have already started work on two of our core initiatives for this new year. We will soon be rolling out all new webmail and SiteBuilder interfaces combining cutting edge technology with extreme ease of use. This will not only give every customer a much improved user experience, but will also arm our affiliates with products they can promote with confidence and pride. The goals are simple: Make it easier for you to do what you want to do, and have more fun doing it!

This year will also bring all our offerings in Spanish. We chose this language to start because this is the one we currently receive an overwhelming number of requests for. We silently launched replicated sites and the new customer order flow in Spanish last month, and the results thus far have been even better than expected. Soon everything, including the members area, will also be available in Spanish. As time goes on and we monitor the success of the Spanish project, we will consider releasing additional languages as well.

We will also be unveiling an affiliate status achievement system to reward everyone with visual recognition for your efforts. Furthermore, we will be forming an official Growth Advisory Council comprised of leading affiliates in the field. This will give council members special access to corporate leadership and provide a forum where they may share their successful strategies, enabling us to relay the information to the rest of the field for better training, and guide all to success. The criteria for this elite group will be announced in upcoming months.

We sincerely thank all of you, and you have our word we are working hard to continually improve upon the current offerings we bring you. We are confident this year will turn out to be our best year yet once again, and each of you, our customers, make it all worthwhile. Stay tuned for more information to come!
