The code works and I paid $21.48 for 2 years. Oddly the control panel lists the plan as “Happy Hosting (2 years)” with the full price of $214.80, and still gives the dates for a monthly billing cycle.
Can anyone confirm it’s listed the same way for him/her? I find that slightly confusing.
Hi, I’m in Switzerland and could Just signed up with this 202 code and it worked! ($21.48, not 11 like announced here though)
Promo code error: Promo code invalid for your region!
That’s the error I get when I try signing up. I’m from India. Why are they doing this? Any solutions?
Thanks. :)
I live in India. The promo code is valid for US only. The message to this effect was shown after I entered all the details.
got 2 years for $21.48.. which is still very good and got myself a very nice domain too :) thank you so much!
yep, managed to register, have no idea how to do websites, but for $20 dollars, i’ll learn!
btw i live in the uk and i managed to get the promo offer
I was able to sign up, and posted an entry on my blog to alert others to this great deal!
Is this offer valid *through* the 4th or just until the 4th? Missed the post yesterday :(
Does anyone know if this offer lasts through January 4, or only until January 4?
Its live right now on 4 January 2008.
Thanks for the great tip! Just signed up from Germany with the 202 code for $21.48. Awesome.
Just tried at 1:00 EST in the US and it is coming up as $29.95
I just signed up (10am Pacific Time) two years for $29.95 — don’t why it was more expensive than others but I’m not complaining.
I thing This offer is not for India
I finally signed up too. It was the higher price but either way it’s still a good deal. :) Thanks
I guess I have found a work around for the invalid region promo code error.
I too was getting the error. Here’s what I did to avail of the offer Workaround for invalid region error
mee too, coming to 29.95 :(
It’s $42.96 for me. Am I doing something wrong? I did not select any special features.
Am now being quoted $42.96 as a two-year price with this promo code… is this happening to anyone else?
42.96 for me too.
42.96 here as well. That’s lame…
Using 220 instead of 202 gave me two years for $21.48.
Tried to get in yesterday afternoon, 1/3/09, for a few hours, but dreamhost.com was down, or overloaded… This morning, 1/4/09, I got in and signed up for two years plus a domain registration for $21.48, using dreamhost promo 220.
Use code 220 to get 90% discount since they changed to 80% for the code 202. Thats what I just did and it cost me like 21$!
Hope it helps!
42.96 here as well. What’s up with that? I signed up anyway
I got 42.96. That’s only 80% and not the deal I came in for. Even the $21 would have been a fine deal, but this bait and switch is garbage.
220 worked. Excellent. No more GoDaddy!
I use the 220 code instead of 202 and got 2 years for $21. Which still be a good deal to me.
I had to use the 220 code, with 202 they were going to charge $42.96. I’m glad I decided to read the comments to see if others were having problems.
This is a significant ‘error’ and I might’ve missed the deal because of the ‘typo’ or whatever caused the problem.
The promotion they’re offering is not the one listed here. Instead of a 95% discount they’re offering only 50%. So a 2-year signup costs 107.40, not the &10.74 mentioned here.
And yes, this does appear to be their current promotion. Just like the one described here, it ends Jan 4 (and is still current as of this timestamp), and it is for a 2-year signup. It just costs 10 times as much as this site would have you believe.
I’m in the US, and getting 42.96 due now when using the 202 promo code.
Maybe the deal expired prematurely?
Came up as $21.48 for me with the 220 promo code. You must be doing something wrong.
