[EDU] Dreamhost thread 07 - Hosting for $22.40 for a year + free domain registration - YOUR OWN BLOG

* This is not spam, I make absolutely no money off this. The reason I'm posting this is to get as many Democrats as possible to start their own blog or website and let our voices be heard.

If you have never had an account before:

1. Go here: https://dreamhost.com/signup/?plan=1&yearly=1
2. All the settings should be correct where they are (they should be the following):

* Crazy Domain Insane (165.6GB disk, 1.656TB bw, $9.95/month,
* Automatically Rebill - once a year. (No set up fee!)
* Register a new .com/net/org/info domain for me free!


3. Next you should see the following:

This is where you put in what domain name you want (provided it is available), and where you create a username that you will use to login to your account.

4. Here is what you see next:


The ONLY thing that you should fill in honestly here should be your email address, otherwise you will get a bunch of bullshit mail at your home address, and you are putting your info up on the web for anyone smart enough to run a whois on your site. Create a password, and put in the city you were born in (in case you forget, this is what they use to reset your password). All the other info below the city you were born in line should be fake.

5. This is what you see next:


In the second box where it says, "Promo Code or email of who referred you:" put in the code "SUPER_DEAL" without the quotes!

That will give you the maximum discount possible (your total should be $22.40 per year).

6. Check the "I agree" box, and move on to "Continue to secure payment". If I remember correctly, I'm pretty sure that if you use a Credit Card, you have to fax them a copy of the rubbing on the numbers of the card, you can figure that out on your own.
7. Once everything is set up, make SURE you turn off Auto Rebill. Log into your account, and on the left side of the screen, you should see something that says "Billing". Click on that, and it should expand. Click on "Make Payment". When the middle of the screen refreshes, you should see "Credit Card Autopay - Enabled" in big green letters. Click on it, and when it expands, click on the box that says "I authorize DreamHost to charge this credit card on the 15th" and make sure to REMOVE the check from the box. Scroll down a little and click the blue button that says "Update Automatic Rebill Setting". It will tell you it was successful, and you should be good to go.

8. Make a blog/website about politics, hobbies, whatever. We need as many Dems as possible to have web sites!


If you are a returning customer to Dreamhost:

Sorry to tell you guys, but they have started to wise up. To get the discount, you will have to do the following:
1. Go here: https://dreamhost.com/signup/?plan=1&yearly=1
2. Use a Credit Card number you have not previously used with them before
3. Use an Email Address you have not previously used with them before
4. Create a new User Name you have not previously used with them before
5. Create a new Domain Name you have not previously used with them before
If the above items are not unique to their system, it will flag it, and you will not get the discount.
6. Use discount code: SUPER_DEAL
7. Once everything is set up, make SURE you turn off Auto Rebill. Log into your account, and on the left side of the screen, you should see something that says "Billing". Click on that, and it should expand. Click on "Make Payment". When the middle of the screen refreshes, you should see "Credit Card Autopay - Enabled" in big green letters. Click on it, and when it expands, click on the box that says "I authorize DreamHost to charge this credit card on the 15th" and make sure to REMOVE the check from the box. Scroll down a little and click the blue button that says "Update Automatic Rebill Setting". It will tell you it was successful, and you should be good to go.


The current working discount code is SUPER_DEAL

This will give you a year of hosting + 1 free domain registration for $22.40
