I’m pretty excited about this:

I’ve personally been over the numbers and we can do this without overselling or any of the other typical scams that come along. We can host your new blog or other website for $12 a year (that’s a buck a month)!

The Plan

Okay, so here’s what we’re offering. You get 100MB storage, and 10GB monthly transfer allowance. You can host one domain on it, and we’ll happily setup up to around 10 email addresses for you. More if you ask nicely and we’re not super-duper busy.

You get a secure, stable host powered by real-live people with good communications skills who can help you out when things go bad. We’re experienced with WordPress, and if you so desire we can get you up and running and push you off with the training wheels still on. If you need help, we’re an email or phone call away.

Your blog and everything you love about it will be backed up to a remote site, so should (as experts expect any day now) Godzilla emerge from the Atlantic Ocean and trash all the data centers on the eastern sea board, our team stands by ready at a moments notice to restore your blog somewhere such as Arizona, which is much too dry for Godzilla’s liking.

So to recap: 100MB storage, 10GB monthly transfer, 1 domain, ~10 email addresses, a MySQL database for $12 a year.

OH NOES THAT’S SO TINY! NEEDS MOAR GIGARBYTES!

Is it really that tiny? We’re marketing this at people who want to start new websites but find the adding up costs prohibitive. Consider this: this very blog, database and all, including my old version which had 100+ posts, weighs in at less than 25MB disk space.

My peak months of burning up EntreCard like someone with a really weird case of OCD I did in excess of 350 average daily visitors and used less than 2GB of bandwidth in a month. Do the math, you can fit a ~1500 daily visitor website with several thousand blog posts in such an account before you start running in to trouble. If you can get a new blog to ~1500 daily visitors inside a year, you probably don’t really care about upgrading your hosting plan, right?

Or hey, you can always go to supadupahost.co.qq and get twenty terabytes of bandwidth and unlimited disk space with the freedom to host 600 domains for all your friends for 25c a month, and see how much you enjoy the experience. Let’s be realistic people, we’re not offering you the world here (and that’s a good thing) – just a fair priced account to get a new blog started for the next year for about the cost of the domain name you’re going to buy for it anyway. Add it up: $12 + ~$10.20 for a domain name (via GoDaddy) and you’re all set for an entire year. BYO content.

You convinced me, how do I get one?

Clicking the image above will take you to our Valentine’s Day sale page, where you can order via Paypal. If you want to pay using a different method (Money Order, or we can bill you via Google Checkout) just contact us. As stated on that page, we set accounts up as fast as we can but it should definitely be done within 24 hours. Then you just have to wait for DNS to propogate and you’re up and running. Feel free to email us if you have any special instructions (say, you don’t want wordpress in the root directory of your website or something of that nature).

Happy Valentine’s Day!
