Over the past while, I’ve heard several negative comments about Dreamhost. People either love Dreamhost or hate them it seems. I’ve used another host before for a website I designed but for my new latest project I felt like I needed a more stable and reliable host that could accommodate a startup like mine. Enter Dreamhost! At first glance, even their basic L1 package seems very generous. 156.2 GB of disk storage, 1.562 TB of bandwidth per month and 1 domain free for the life of the hosting package. However at second glance, you see the price and and the last sentence loses its wind. If your paying for a year it costs $119.40, thats a lot compare to many hosts, but still not a ridiculous amount of money by any means.

So I spent a few days thinking about what to do and two things made me go ahead and buy a hosting plan with Dreamhost. Firstly, they have a 97-day back guarantee, so if I didn’t like them after 96 days I was free to change. And second, I noticed a lot of promotional codes around the internet for Dreamhost. These are codes which give you a discount on the hosting plan.

Now that I have signed up to Dreamhost I can make Promo Codes of my own. If you would like a discount of around $90 off the $119.40 enter “GOFUL” when signing up. Or if you would prefer a discount of around $45 but 3 free domains for the life of the hosting enter “GOFUL2“.

What are your views on Dreamhost?

It’s incredible how things can just pile up! I feel like I’m in a traffic jam at the moment with the amount of work I have to get through. Firstly, I have exams next week that I have to study for which is taking a good number of hours of my time, more than I’d like. Also I’m in the middle of a new start-up I’m co-founder of! Which I’m very excited about! :D It’s not near ready yet but it’s getting better each day. The domain has been secured (aka the title). It’s going to be quite a difficult design and I really need users as it is very user orientated. Feel like becoming part of a community? Comment box at the bottom! :)

I’ll let you know one thing for the moment: It’s based on a voting system like Digg but had nothing to do with news.

Got you wondering have I?
