New Year's campaign or hosting for free
Some time ago I wrote about an interesting hybrid of hosting and VPS from DreamHost. For our mass hosting market, the offers of this company are expensive (their standard price is 10 USD per month hosting, plus another 15 for VPS). Being one of the leaders in the west, they can nevertheless afford stunning New Year promotions. Actually, I wanted to briefly talk about the main one:
At the moment, an unlimited plan (without VPS) is available for 1 year for $ 9.24 (ie 77 cents per month) if you specify the promotion code “777”, this corresponds to a discount of more than 90% + 1 com / net / org domain is included in the price.
I think it’s not worth saying that the ratio of price and quality in this case is off scale. I would not like to dwell on the details of the tariff - details pagereplete with the number of Unlimited, in general, the plan can be briefly described as "Everything is included without restrictions" with the note "Do not be impudent!".
Details under the cut
You can argue about the possibility of unlimited in budget hosting - but in practice, if you do not set a goal to consume more resources, then claims from the hosting can be avoided. Personally, until recently, I stored more than 100GB of files on my account and spent up to 10tb of traffic. In addition to the profitability of the proposal, it is worth paying attention to a number of chips that are somewhat rare for mass hosting:
Technique:
1. A full-fledged shell (Debian by the way) with SFTP, with djp the ability to run long-running software and daemons (the latter is not welcomed by the rules, the execution time limit did not notice). Torrent clients are prohibited by the rules
2. The disk subsystem is organized on the SAN, there are no problems with quotas and brakes. How should dedicated clusters be under MySQL / Mail / etc
3. In addition to PHP4-5, Ruby on Rails is provided, CGI is available for Perl, Python, C, C ++
4. CVS and SVN repositories (configurability is limited)
5. You can enable and configure WebDAV methods for selected folders
6. Streaming RealAudio / RealVideo (by HTTP) and Darwin-based QuickTime streaming server, media converter for streaming to Flash
7. Personal Jabber Chat Server
8. Ability to get resource reservation (VPS) from the quarry
Organizational:
1. Adequate and professional support (Los Angeles), not stunners and not Indians
2. Guarantee 100% uptime of the infrastructure, add an hosting day for an hour of downtime
3. gates without question (give three months for reflection!)
4. DreamHost for 80 cents per month !!! What can I say ?
Just in case, I’ll add that I have nothing to do with DreamHost , I don’t pursue my interests, I am a happy client and I recommend
UPD to others. The registration process I had was as follows:
1. Enter the code and personal data and order hosting for 1 year . Some people get an error that the code is incompatible with the region. There are two ways out: go under a different IP (some Russians work and probably all Western ones) or use a different promo code, 777 gives $ 110 discounts, if nothing works ,please contact the PM, there are promotional codes for $ 97 discount without restrictions on regions tcnm many promotional codes for $ 50 discount
2. When registering, they ask for a credit card to confirm their identity. In the first week they should be charged $ 9.24 from it, if there is no balance on the card or it didn’t work for another reason - the panel has payment methods by PayPal, Google Checkout and a few more options
3. If for some reason they took you more - billing support it should be fixed quickly, do not forget about your right to a full refund within 97 days from the moment of subscription (does not work for PayPal), your money will definitely not go anywhere.
UPD2 Servers are located in the states, so with a warez and easily compromised services (like hiding links) may be UPD3 graters
Promotional codes created with a discount of 97 USD may be with a discount of only 50 USD, it looks like a new bonus policy. Several old promotional codes for 97 USD are present HERE , I ask someone who has not registered yet to check them. If you used the code TDZ4HABR check for a full bonus. Old promotional codes before the introduction of this restriction can be viewed in the old post , perhaps this restriction does not apply to old codes. For code 777 described in this article, this does not apply, as before, they give a discount of 110 USD
UPD4If during registration you missed the promo code field and subscribed to the regular tariff, you can contact support and ask for it to be added, but several people have already refused, so it’s more reasonable to close your account (there is a button in the panel for this) and open a new one with a promotional code (I think another email will be required). The first week (with promo codes two) are considered trial, at this time you can refuse accounts without any risk. You can later claim money back through the money back policy.
