Update 2: (5 Jan) – The comments below indicate that the 95% hosting deal is now over. Readers report that the Dreamhost coupon code 202 now gives only 80% discount and the final deal costs $42.96.
Update 3: (5 Jan) – Some readers indicate that Dreamhost promo code 220 is giving them 90% discount and the hosting package costs $21.48 only. This is the better coupon code to use now.
Update 4: They have extended the hosting sale till 5 January 2009.
Update 5: Another day extension till 6 January 2009. They might as well decide the final end date.
Works fine for me. 90% off instead of 95, but a deal’s a deal. I’m in the Middle East.
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.
this offer is not valid for Indian Customers.
and also the discount is now 90% i.e $21USD not $11USD as reported above.
It’s giving me $21.48, too. You should change your post to reflect the real price.
anyone knows how to fix the Promo code invalid for your region? I really want to take up this promotion badly. :(
I just signed up (AZ, USA). Paid 21 dollars for two years, not too bad. We’ll see how the service is.
I got this :
Promo code error: Promo code invalid for your region!
I am from India
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.
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.
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
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?
It’s almost 8:30 pm PST and I just signed up, so it’s still working.
Next error…
The web panel is temporarily unavailable while we perform maintenance on our database.

FAIL also…
error every time i try to pay.
Curious, and really bizarre.
Sure makes you want to host with them when attempting to sign up generates the following:
———————————-
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.

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.
I just signed up.. but I too am getting 21.00 for 2 years. Although I have a US IP address during signup.
Total: $214.80 2 years of hosting

– $193.32 202 promo
Due Now: $21.48
I also can’t log on. I’m assuming that the deadline is midnight PST
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.
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!
FAIL…errror once I try to pay, too (writing from NYC)…
Scary … sticking w godaddy.com…
FAIL…
error once I try to pay.
accepting payment should be the one thing they are best at.
I got the discount, but I did pay $21.10 I’m from Brazil. Anyway… Thanks a lot
@PeteWilliams: Same here. It seems to be a 90% discount instead of 95% as it says in the main page. Anyway, I just signed up for it. Seems like a good deal.
Well I finally get to the checkout page and it comes up as $21.48 not $10.74..
Like everybody I else, I jumped at the chance to try out Dream Host. It’s a shame I can’t even sign up. I find it quite curious that the comments before mine are dated with Sunday’s date. It’s only Sat Jan 3. 2009 at 6:15 EST hmmmmmmmmmm
(maybe they are still getting used to the date …cause I know I am LOL “2008” LOL)

Don’t count out the possibility that they took their own site down to prevent hordes of people from capatilizing on this particular deal. Too many people sign up and they’d be losing money.
Site doesn’t even attempt to load. Goes straight to PCD which most likely means they purposely broke their own DNS pointers.
It keeps crashing for me too…to bad.. :(
Uber FAIL … the site is dead on arrival. I can’t get in and it does not bode well that a hosting site’s own website doesn’t work.
Their site seems to be down
They can’t even manage their own page with al lthat traffic they got
Too bad though cause the offer seems awesome and with their site down this is not good publicity for them :(
I wish they fix it soon cause i wanna get me a package :)
I too am trying to signup for this awesome offer and the site keeps timing out…
FAIL
I’m getting page load error also. Does this include php as well?
too bad the website keeps crashing. not a good sign for a web hosting company.
I give up.
I agree that $11 is a steal. But I can’t even sign up. If their servers can’t even handle large sign up traffic as a result of a promotion, then I can’t imagine what kind of hassles I’ll have to deal with down the road.
Hosting Fail.
It doesn’t look good on a host when they can’t even handle the traffic of people trying to signup with them.
I wonder if I am going to be able to take advantage of this offer. I guess I will probably just stick with Hostgator.
This promotion seems to be causing havoc on their servers. I can’t sign up because the page keeps hanging up and I keep getting Page Load Errors.
Not a good sign.
A friend gave me this link. Thank you!
You got a new subscriber to your RSS :)
Wow–I spent the entire week looking for a great web hosting deal, and then this comes along. Needless to say, I took advantage of the 95% off…Thanks QuickOnlineTips!
Thanks a lot for the heads up!
Got a 2yr hosting at 10.74 bucks and a friend of mine got one too!
But unfortunately referrals don’t work this promotion…. still not complaining!
Darn it! I just signed up with DreamHost 2 days ago! Although I still received a good deal (1 year hosting & new domain name for $22, I did not get THIS good of a deal.
That said, I have been happy with DreamHost so far. I have been using InMotionHosting for my eJabs.com blog, and have ran into a few problems with them.
not working for me… I get Promo code error: invalid promo code — it’s 12:50 pm CST 3/January 2009
https://www.dreamhost.com/ front page offers promo code 224 for 50% off 2 years — $107.40
bummer, I really wanted the 95% off
@Sam – that 70% offer might be older. This 95% offer is live right now with this coupon code / promo code.
I am not aware of any fineprint terms associated with the code. Usually Dreamhost codes work worldwide, so it is surprising that it should be limited to some regions only.
Its saying “Promo code error: Promo code invalid for your region!”
Sooooo sad..
I was very much excited after reading about this and tried to get it as soon as possible, and finally got above message, unfortunately.
It is not available for INDIA I guess..
When I used this code, it says this promo is not available for your region.
DreamHost put this “Get two years of hosting for 70% off! That’s a $214.80 value for just $64.44 Expires 1/3/2009”
People it pays off to have quickonlinetips.com in your rss reader!!!
Thank you sooooo much for alerting me, I was looking to host and now I found it!! Yeah!
