Dreamhost, one year hosting and domain $9.24 today only

Hey puttsey ... thanks! Perfect timing!
One year hosting for $9.24 plus a free domain for life of contract... very happy camper.

It's interesting that if you go to the account settings and change the Auto Renew to Ending Today you'll get credited over $100 back. I don't know whether they'll let you go through with this though since you didn't actually pay the actual amount.

Interesting. Why don't you try it and let us know the result.

i've been with them for years and for the money i don't see any other host providing the same level of service or anything BETTER than makes me compelled to move.

i get a discount but it is about 7-8$ a month after the first year. there would need to be alot of value to move 10+ dynamic websites and co-ordinate downtime. time is money

regardless even if the service is fair-decent for the money; it is consistently so. don't have to worry about your webhost going under and disappearing in this economy.

Thx OP for the great deal. After year one though, the rate can definitely be beaten. If anyone is looking for longer terms, HostMonster has their 3 year plan at $3.95/month when signed up for 3 years. Domain included. I use HostMonster and could not be happier. The cpanel interface is also much better in my opinion.

It is typical of Dreamhost's specials.

From what I have seen, every promotion they offer on the main page of the site (i.e. x years of hosting for $xx.xx)
always has a script that simply updates to the current day (hurry, ends xx/xx/xxxx!) until they are ready to pull it.

I've been with them for several years now and for the price have been very pleased with the service.

Now it says "Labor Day Sale." Link is still good.

good webhost. much cheaper shared hosting than GoDaddy. dreamhost allows pr0n too (if want to start your own pr0n site )

any good Domain Parking service providers? Google parking won't approve some of my domains.

I guess this is finally dead?

now it says: "$9.24" and Happy Holidays.... I guess it's forever... anyway, thanks OP.

BEWARE OF LINKS TO DREAMHOST!

I just had a very interesting email exchange with dreamhost customer service. It appears that you can get a year of hosting for $9.24 with coupon code 777. But you need to meet two criteria to qualify. 1) You have to be a new customer. 2) You can't, at any time, click on a link to dreamhost provided by one of their (as I like call them) "Referral Fortune Seekers".

Apparently, existing customers get a referral fee for anyone they send to dreamhost. But those referrals are not eligible for the $9.24/first year deal. The most they can get is $50 off. So even though I'm a new customer, because I clicked on someone's link at one point in my research process, I am not eligible for the program. Also because I started the process of registering they have my name, address, email address, etc on file so I can't just register from a different computer. (not that I'd want to at this point anyway)

LESSONS LEARNED:
1) Don't ever click on links from someone else's site...just in case. Go directly to the site.
2) Dreamhost encourages deceptive marketing and I won't support them to that end.
