Hot? $10 for 1 year of hosting. 2 Free Domains! 20 GB space, 750 GB BW

[zimu]

just a FYI: signups are still open, except now its 100gb storage.

all current accounts have been upgraded too.

quite a steal

 

[leglez]

I am about to signup, but I was wondering does it require you to renew the domain and hosting every year? Or can you signup for 1 year and then have everything terminated after that year?

 

[MrVeedo]

thanks, ive been waiting for another dreamhost deal, but this will work , great price, and kills some time being able to throw some stuff on the www. should be able to cancel after one year, i never read the fine print like always lol.

 

[Fayd]

i've had this deal for the last 8 months... i just wish i had something worthwhile to put on it! >.<

 

[leglez]

Dang just found out you can have a proxy setup on their servers. Guess I'll look for another similar deal.

 

[dehemke]

I did this last year.

It might be worth it for the domains, but the hosting is terrible. The hosting software interface is horrible, and as pointed out above connection latency isn't very good.

$10 for the first year and then $119.40/year after that... Gonna suck for people who actually want to keep their domain(s)... I think I am going to pass on it and keep my free 10GB website

I think you can keep your domain(s)

Just pumped 175GB of bandwidth from this offer, still going strong so it looks like they are good to their 750Gb a month xfer =P

(Most my other hosts would cap me at 100GB if I had 150 or something)

 

[agrall]

Could one sign up for a new account for $10/year again and import their current domain to the new account? It kind of looks like that would work...

 

[Frintin]

This deal is showing as expiring February 28. 2007.

 

[magomago]

is it possible to renew this with someone who already has a netfirms account?

edit:

didn't work

awwww

anyone have any alternatives?

 

[agrall]

I started a new account and imported my old domain name to it. I also had to renew my domain for a year for $10, but it's still a good deal.

 

[Leros]

I'm only getting 100KB/s on my 25mbit connection. Pretty slow.

 

[VengefulActs]

After a year with NetFirms, I moved over to the Surpass deal to get a taste of something new and to see if Surpass is faster than NetFirms. So far I like the Surpass interface a lot more than what NetFirms offers, and I'm glad that I've checked out something new.

My problem is that I can't figure out how to cancel my NetFirms renewal. They've been good enough to send me an email to notify me that they'll be automatically renewing me two weeks from now, and they even have a place in the account interface where I can manually renew myself. Why is there no information or option to NOT automatically renew??!

I guess I'll need to call them on Monday.

 

[hofan41]

deal added 4/24/07:

Domain name + Private Registration: $4.95/year http://www.netfirms.com/495

fairly hot for one year considering private registration via godaddy would cost twice as much.

 

[Cheapest]

What happen after that? They keep/own your domain? What about renew price ? Can you pay for two or more year now?

I think you can keep your domain(s)

To whom and how much do you have to pay .. ( to keep your domain )

This deal is great if you don't need hosting beyond a year, otherwise there are lots of
inexpensive hosting sites out there with a lot more ..

I like HostMonster ..

Anybody know how to move the netfirms picture pro photo gallery....to another host, or a new netfirms a/c?
My a/c expires soon....

The way the gallery works..is that it puts photos in its own random folders....so it might be hard to transfer/import it.

What hosting service seems the bets these days?...once I can stick with, for a decent price...without the hassle of moving my gallery around.

Would appreciate any tips
