Shared Web Hosting - DreamHost Top Tier Package 87.5% off ($10/mo instead of $80), 22nd, 23rd, 24th Only!

[UnisonMicro]

Just a heads up to anyone who is looking for a great host for their website or just wants to have a unique URL to send e-mail from, Dreamhost is offering a great deal for the next 3 days. (22nd,23rd,24th) You can find all the nitty gritty info on their page. ( www.dreamhost.com )

Here is the jist of the deal, for $10 a month, for life, you can sign up for their strictly business plan which is typically $80 a month. You will get:

1 Free Domain Registration
1600 MB Space
40 GB Bandwidth
300 E-mail Accounts
75 Shell Accounts
Up to 15 Domains Hosted
Custom DNS
MySQL
PHP
UNIQUE IP ADDRESS
FREE SSL Secure Certificate
VPN Access
Anonymous FTP

among other things.

I have been using Dreamhost for almost 2 years now and still have nothing but good things to say about them. Downtimes are very few and far between and are always repaired quickly. Their administration panel is first class, easy to use and powerful. Their tech support should you need it is friendly and helpful and they always keep their mySQL, PHP and other services patched and updated.

If anyone has any questions about them then post or shoot me a PM. I'll be glad to post screen shots of my uptime etc if anyone wants to see them.

PS If you use dmstiner as the person that refered you when you sign up I will get you as a referal. If you don't want that or if any of the board mods here have a problem with me doing this then I'll remove the referer info, just let me know. Thanks!

 

[DaveSimmons]

Wow, you held on to this account for over a year before using it to spam a referral link ("dmstiner")? That's better planning than most of the spammers who come here.

 

[UnisonMicro]

I reread the rules and found near the bottom where it meantions click through referal links so I have removed those. I wish you would of just sent me a PM message though instead of crapping on my post.

 

[DaveSimmons]

Since you have no profile and your first (and only) post was a referral link I didn't feel lke giving you the benefit of the doubt.

You also don't have PMs enabled on this account. People wanting honest hosting, go --> RossMAN approved

 

[UnisonMicro]

Sorry, didn't know profiles and PM's were off by default. Sadly we all start with one post so be nice to us lurkers just because we don't have 6400 post doesn't mean we are not honest

 

[AgaBoogaBoo]

Hey! Nice deal! I'm gonna tell some people I know about this...

 

[rasputinj]

not a bad deal, I prefer to have cPanel as the admin panel, but that is a lot of bandwidth and space..

 

[weepul]

for $10/month this is an awesome deal with shell access.

my question is, will this last?

I the interests of fairness, this deal is available directly from dreamhost without any referrals. If you want to benefit UnisonMicro, this is how it's done and what the terms are:


DreamHost Rewards
DreamHost Rewards offers an equitable and, most importantly, a RECURRING revenue stream for our customers! Here's how it works:
You will get 10% of the total amount paid by every person you refer to DreamHost credited to your account, for AS LONG AS they are a customer. Even better - you'll also get 5% of the total amount paid by every person THEY refer to DreamHost, for as long as THEY are customers! The potential for long term continuous revenues is much greater with this system than any of our previous incentive programs.

You have several methods for referring people to DreamHost:

Put a link to http://www.dreamhost.com/rewards.cgi anywhere on a site hosted with us and we'll be able to automatically track the signups received through that link and give you credit.


Put a link to http://www.dreamhost.com/rewards.cgi?WebID anywhere at all (it doesn't have to be a site hosted with us!), even on a guestbook or message board*, and we'll be able to automatically track the signups received through that link. (Don't forget to replace 'WebID' with your Web ID!)


Make your rewards link (http://www.dreamhost.com/rewards.cgi?WebID) a part of your email signature, which is appended at the bottom of every email you send. If you subscribe to any mailing lists, literally hundreds or thousands of people could see your link each time you post. You can even write a little blurb next to it telling them why you love us so much. (Don't forget to replace 'WebID' with your Web ID!)


When your friend signs up at https://panel.dreamhost.com/signup/, have them put YOUR WebID in the "referred by" field. This will give you credit for that sign-up as long as they enter a valid WebID that they were referred by.

It's that simple. Put the link on as many different pages as you'd like, because the more signups you get, the less you have to pay us!

If you'd like to use an image to link to us, you can make one of your own, or use one of the ones below. Just copy the HTML in the box below the one you want and paste it into your page's HTML - putting it near the top usually means more clicks, and make sure to change 'WebID' to your own WebID so you can be sure to get credit.

Looks like a good deal.

 

[dlaw]

Looks good, though $10 a month is still more than what I would pay for my personal website.

 

[MontyBurns]

What a remarkable deal! I need to find out what planet this guy is buying hard drives and bandwidth on. I could be RICH!


They say they host 50,000 Web sites. I guess they make their money on volume.

Also, just wondering: You say you have been using them for two years, but their domain name was registered in October 2002?

Yes, appears they were registered previously.

 

[UnisonMicro]

Last day for this deal! Also wanted to pint out that if you use the free domain registration that comes with this deal Dreamhost will keep the domain name registered for free for life as long as you stay with them.

 

[takhyon]

Good deal, signed up, thanks. Put UnisonMicro in the referral field, hope that's your id on dreamhost as well.

 

[UnisonMicro]

Well dmstiner is my ID but don't worry about that. Glad you got signed up, I'm sure you will be pleased with their service.

Do they own the domain ? If you decide you don't like their service or they go out of business, will you no longer be able to redirect your domain ?

Along those same lines, are they listed as the admin contact?

What if they go out of business? Your domain is GONE.

[tommytran]

Thank for the deal. I has put your name as referral.
Just on time to move my marble sculptures site to this one

 

[UnisonMicro]

No problem TommyTran, hope you enjoy it. I'm kicking myself for not using dmstiner as my name though

 

[IceBlast]

Thanks, just signed up and put dmstiner in as referral.

 

[earsjr]

Anyone not have a referral yet? I think dmstiner has enough... We could probably work something out with the referral and sub-referral options to our advantage... time to spread the wealth, hehe

--edit--
just so no one thinks i'm a jerk... i put dmstiner as my referrer
