Boo hoo.

You taken the 1 minute to try and use the coupon code?

As a matter of fact, yes. It says "all 777 acounts have been used". I signed up a friend, giving them all of my $97 in referals. So if people want to go with Dreamhost, you can get the whole gig (domain, same plan etc) for a $22 and change.

Anyone experience anything different?

I just tried this and it said all of the 777 promo codes have been used.

Is this deal officially dead?

Dont worry guys, you're not missing out on anything big here. I have been using this $9.24 plan for months now and once your site gets even alittle traffic it gets shut down temporarily. I mean litterally all pages from your website get shut down for about 30 mins or so. It happens everytime. Its a script they run on the server.

I call bull$hit on that. I use them to run several popular sites and this has NEVER occurred. I use upwards of 200gb per month of bandwidth.

 

[stimpy1]

Oh well, that's all moot now anyway. I have confirmed that this deal IS officially dead. When you try and use the promo code it says they're all used up.

I think i saw this posted earlier in the thread.

Looks like they have a similar hosting deal, but its their regular price.

 

[skylord23]

anyone got any other deals on hosting like this one was?

 

[PhaZe]

damn. good thing i got in on it last month

 

[Nutcase99]

Do you guys know if the deal is valid for one year only? Or is the same rate just charged to you when its time to renew?

My site has been down for the whole day....and probably so has Dreamhost's site. Hope they didn't jack me for $10.

its cause of the power outage in los angeles...i guess the whole city is without power

 

[Fenix793]

Ah that explains it my email and website are down.

 

[crimson117]

Read about their outage here: http://blog.dreamhost.com/

 

[lollavid]

it suggests the promo code 888 which brings up a price of $24 a year...

 

[CRPGer]

I got 2 several weeks ago during the 9.99 deal, but liked em, so got the 24 a year deal for a friend.

It would been cheaper to just get a domain registered for 9.95 a year and host it on my account, but I wanted a seperate account for him, and hey, its 2 bucks a moth for registation AND hosting.

I have found them to have decent hosting, although they are vanilla, they have some EZ one click installs for blogging, forums, mambo ETC that make learning to do your own thing easy. I never had a website before and now feel like a half way competent person to post my crap on a blog and run my own little forum.

 

[hawkeye81x]

Just signed up using the promo code. (referenced earlier)
I guess it still works!

 

[RossMAN]

Which promo the 7 or 8?

 

[MadOni0n]

so the deal is done? if so, anyone know any other hosting sites with similar offers, or the best offers currently available?

 

[CoolTech]

yah, this deal is still alive, nice

Then what's the difference with the normal deal? -.-"

 

[Rip the Jacker]

IS THIS DEAL ALIVE OR DEAD?

 

[ottothecow]

I believe that the 9.95 one is dead. I do know that if you use the code "7BACKNOW" you will basically get $7 off (so..your first month).

If I remember correctly though, there was someone out there who had a code for$97 off (it might have been on slickdeals though)

p2p still blows it away thought, infinite bandwidth 24hrs a day. 2.4gb is only half of a dvd!

Interesting, and how do you host a website with P2P?

Well afaik you can't host a website yet, but there's software to host a forum. Its called keyforum.
