I’ve just switched from my old host, Hostright UK, to DreamHost.

I have been thinking of switching from my current host for sometime, and DreamHost seemed the best host to move to.

I’m on the cheapest package, Crazy Domain Insane!, which normally costs $9.95 a month. Currently (for a limited time), DreamHost are quadrupling all new user’s disk space and octupling (not even a word…) all bandwidth. This means, even on the lowest package, you get:

• 20GB disk space (which increases by a further 160MB per week you are a member)
• 1TB bandwidth (which increases by 8GB weekly)
• Unlimited mySQL databases (not really unlimited, it takes up your disk space! But really, I doubt you are going to have a 20GB DB!)
• 3000 POP/IMAP mailboxes
• 75 FTP and Unix Shell users
• 1 domain name registration. Unlimited hosted domains and subdomains.
• PHP4, PHP5, Crontab, Ruby on Rails, CVS, Subversion, SSI and canned CGI scripts
• QuickTime and Real streaming

As I said above, this normally costs $9.95 a month (or $7.95 on a two-year contract). If you choose to pay monthly, you have a $50 set-up fee.

However, if you use my promocode WEBBYSWORLD you can apply the following discounts:

On all pay-monthly packages: $37.50 off (about three quarters of the set-up fee)
On all yearly packages: $80 off (which means that the above package would only cost you $22 for the first year!)
On all bi-yearly packages: $80 off

It’s worth noting that the code can only be used by first time customers and it only applies for the first payment (so you don’t get $80 off each year…). Also, I will get paid a comission on any sale made through this promocode, but you’re saving quite a bit of money!

So, if you are planning to buy hosting with DreamHost, it is worth your while to use the WEBBYSWORLD promocode.

Update: I’ve cancelled by DreamHost, as it wasn’t for me. However, the above promocode still works.
