In case anyone’s in the market for cheap, decent hosting, Dreamhost has a pretty crazy promotion going on right now:
500GB storage, 5TB monthly bandwidth, $50 discount, and 5 free domain registrations <b>for life</b>. (Your domains won’t cost you anything as long as you remain a customer.) That’s $69.40 for the first year of hosting if you sign up for the yearly plan. Also, the storage and bandwidth increase every month for as long as you’re a customer, meaning you’ll be able to start your own YouTube in no time. Just enter the coupon code 555 when signing up. I’m led to believe this is a limited time offer.
If, on the other hand, you don’t so much care about the sudden burst of disk space and monthly bandwidth and the 5 free domains, and would rather just save $97 instead of $50, you can use the coupon code ECLECTICISM, which I set up a while back to pass all of my “referral bonus” on to a friend of mine. (Dreamhost will give you either 10% of what a referred customer spends for as long as they’re a customer, or a one-time $97 bonus. You can choose to pass some or all of that referrer bonus on to the person signing up, which is what I did.) I think this works out to $22.40 for the first year. This offer is not for a limited time.
I’m not shilling for dreamhost, and I don’t get anything out of it if you sign up — I just wanted to share some pretty great deals. I’ve been a dreamhost customer for quite a while, and I have very little negative to say about them. If anyone is curious, I’ll happily explain the things I do or don’t like. For everyone else, just know that those things have yet to make me even consider switching hosts.
