  2. jj levine says:

    Incidentally — I don’t know why the date beside my name says 4/1/09 — it is Sat., January 3 as I write this for several more hours!

  3. Andre says:

    The site is back up now (as of 10:15pm EST 1/3/09) but the promo code seems to only give you 90% off now… still a good deal though.

  4. Peter Mykusz says:

    I also can’t log on. I’m assuming that the deadline is midnight PST

  5. desi says:

    Waited 3 hour until the “Temporarily Not in Service” error was gone. Filled everything out then got this error:
    Software error:
    Can’t call method “query” on an undefined value at /usr/local/lib/site_perl/Ndn/Common/Login.pm line 120.

    For help, please send mail to the webmaster (webmaster@balanced6.signup.dreamhost.com), giving this error message and the time and date of the error.

  7. Joe User says:

    Sure makes you want to host with them when attempting to sign up generates the following:

    error every time i try to pay.
    Curious, and really bizarre.

  9. John john says:

    The web panel is temporarily unavailable while we perform maintenance on our database.

  10. Jose says:

    It’s almost 8:30 pm PST and I just signed up, so it’s still working.

  11. zach says:

    I got in earlier today with no trouble, but my friends who i showed this deal are both encountering error after error, and can’t register.

    Is there a solution for those who have been locked out because the servers seem to be down?

  12. John john says:

    I finally, after many attemps just signed up.. but I too am getting 21.00 for 2 years.I have a german IP address during signup.

    Total: $214.80 2 years of hosting
    includes one domain registration
    (includes 18% discount)
    - $193.32 202 promo
    Due Now: $21.48

  13. Migzy says:

    Well I think I signed up, not sure. I got all the way to pushing the charge this card(to go on my credit card) and pressed the button, which then dumped me back to the empty sign up page. No auth checks on my credit card yet and no email.

  14. I think the thousands of amazing Lifehacker readers signing up might have overwhelmed their servers. :-)

    Dreamhost seems back up online and they have extended the offer for 1 more day to get in more customers.

  15. Mohammed shafi says:

    I got this :

    Promo code error: Promo code invalid for your region!

    I am from India

  16. Jamie says:

    I just signed up (AZ, USA). Paid 21 dollars for two years, not too bad. We’ll see how the service is.

  17. Helios says:

    anyone knows how to fix the Promo code invalid for your region? I really want to take up this promotion badly. :(

  18. cm says:

    It’s giving me $21.48, too. You should change your post to reflect the real price.

  19. this offer is not valid for Indian Customers.

    and also the discount is now 90% i.e $21USD not $11USD as reported above.

  20. vlad says:

    You may want to validate and correct the information in your post. When using code 202 for the 2 year plan the total amount to pay is $21.48 not $10.74. That is a savings of 90% and not 95% as you stated. Also dreamhost extended their 60% promotion until 1/4/2009 using code 223. There is no such thing as an extension of code 202 until 1/4/2009 for 95% savings.

  21. Akshay says:

    Works fine for me. 90% off instead of 95, but a deal’s a deal. I’m in the Middle East.

  22. skykid says:

    I got my account for 10.74 and so did my uncle = so the post said what the terms were. It seems that Dreamhost decided to cut 5 % of the deal for the later subscribers .

  23. cr says:

    Frankly, I’m not going to complain for unlimited hosting (or anything close) for less than $1 a month – even if it isn’t 95% off, it is a ridiculously good deal. People need to sound a little less bitchy that they don’t get the $10 deal anymore…! Thanks for the post! :)

  24. postmoden says:

    It doesn’t work in Singapore…I tried repeatedly for almost an hour and finally gave up.

    It keeps bringing up the same error message: Promo code invalid for your region. If the promo code is valid only in certain regions, than they should have indicated in somewhere on their site at least.

    Maybe it’s a good thing I’ll not be hosting with them… I’m not impressed with the the slow speed of their own site and the problems encountered.

  25. postmoden says:

    By the way, I forgot to add that the amount I was going to charge me something like $166 for the 2 year hosting (just the regular 18%less).

  26. As far as I am aware, the code 202 still works and gives 95% discount and is valid till 4 Jan 2009 for most subscribers.

    Just as the code is not working in India, it is possible lesser discount hosting deals are available across the world.

  27. Mitch says:

    YAY! Just signed up with this 202 code and it worked! $21.48 for 2 years unlimited hosting and a free domain name! Woot! Thanks!

  28. I confirm that with 202 code i have 21.48 for 2 years unlimited hosting and a free domain name:

    Total: $214.80 2 years of hosting
    includes one domain registration
    (includes 18% discount)
    - $193.32 202 promo

    Is it a fake?

  29. Marticore says:

    could tell me if using a proxy can make the purchase?

    or countries that can make the purchase?

  30. Michael says:

    Yep, used it, got 2-year for $21.48 !

    That is a great deal… I don’t even need more hosting, but come on…

    - Michael
