as a member of dreamhost, i’m able to create discounts for other people signing up. if you don’t know already, dreamhost is pretty cheap as it is–their smallest offer, dubbed “crazy domain insane,” offers one free domain registration (though you can host unlimited domains under the plan) with 20GB of space and 1TB of monthly bandwidth for $9.95 a month. (other stuff: http://www.dreamhost.com/shared/comparison.html) this is the plan i use, and after two years of hosting i’ve yet to have any trouble.
this discount eliminates the one-time setup fee, which is $50.
if you decide to go with dreamhost, just enter “HOORAY50” (without quotations) when asked for your promo code. then all you have to do is enjoy their great services!
