Sausage Sizzler - Dog Pack Launch |

G'Day Sizzlers!
Well we skipped last weeks issue of the Sizzler as we have been busy working on a few new items that I believe everyone will love and want to take up. But first I have to do some housekeeping!
I quickly realized (thanks to Jack Shaw) that what we have is the full version of Xara WebStyle. Therefore without a key there is no way to use it. Hence our contest to win a copy by using WebStyle to design a Sausage banner, was somewhat impossible to enter. For Jack's trouble he won the first of five copies of Xara WebStyle. Derek from Xara is working on getting me a trial version so I can restart the competition. I will let you all know when it is ready to go! In the meantime here is what Jack came up with after he got his copy of WebStyle:

Next I am proud to announce we have hit 1,000 members on the Sizzler Forums. "Saint420" is the person who signed up to hit the mark. Although it is not quite the ten thousand members the old forum had, I am sure we can build this new version into just as popular a place to learn, laugh and contribute!
Finally, in a lead in to what we have been working on, here is a unsolicited quote from a Sausage Hosting customer:
"
Great Support
I would like to say that the support from Sausage Hosting is fantastic. Damian has been the greatest support for this neophyte. He has been patient, helpful and intuitively knew what I was trying to do when I set up my domains, sub-domains, parked and pointed. I'm still confused but Damian is very patient and helpful. I would recommend their service to anyone. The control panel is an outstanding feature that I did not get with my other provider.
Thanks again for the great work Damian!
Nick"
So this leads me to the launch of the "Dog Packs".
In a nutshell, they are different combinations of our various products and services. We believe if you take us up on even the most basic of the packs, we will be helping you save money on all of your webmaster needs (which are Tools, Domains and Hosting).
The
rest of this issue is dedicated to the Dog Packs so we can better explain them to you. Also note that if you are a HotDog Junior, HotDog PageWiz, HotDog Professional 5 or HotDog Professional 6 user, you will be receiving an email from us that gives you a discount coupon, because you already have the tool portion of the package. You should receive your email later this week so stay tuned.
Next week we will return to normal programming!
Keep on sizzling!

Dog Packs for all types of users!
We are pleased to announce a new way of getting everything you need for your Web site from Sausage! After a successful first quarter of Sausage Hosting we have decided we are ready to offer more comprehensive packages that will give you all the options to get better value for your hosting, domain and tools budget. We call them the Dog Packs.
I like to think the four packs we are offering give every type of Webmaster, whether they look after a simple personal site or a complex business site, a cost effective option for obtaining the tools, domains and hosting they will need for it.
We have called the packs Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum. Basically as you increase in the value of the precious metal it is named after , you also get increased features and quantities of the products and services in the pack.
I won't bore you all with details here as they are available on the Web site. However, let me run through the most basic pack, the Bronze Dog Pack. That way you will start to see the value we have included in each and every pack!
The Bronze Pack gives you:
- Your choice of HotDog Web Editor (valued at between US$39.95 and US$99.95)
- The Sausage Hosting M20 Plan (valued at US$99.00 - based on annual fee)
- One Domain Name (valued at US$19.95)
- A Sausage t-shirt and baseball cap (valued at US$29.90)
We are selling this pack for US$148.95.
We will also give you free product upgrades throughout the year. So for example if you choose HotDog Professional 6 as your editor, you will be able to upgrade, free of charge, to Hotdog 7 when it is released. It is covered for the duration of the year with the Dog Pack!
If you think the Bronze Dog Pack is good value check out the others at:

Please note that as I said in the editorial, existing HotDog Junior, HotDog PageWiz, HotDog Professional 5 and HotDog Professional 6 customers will be getting an email with a discount coupon in the coming week. So if you fit into any of these categories and are interested in the Dog Packs hold tight! You will be able to get an even better deal.
In the meantime make certain you check out the various Dog Packs on offer at:
