Update 1: The offer has been extended to 4 January 2009. Hurry now.
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.
Something strange is going on here. The date keeps changing on this site (quicktips), but when I contact Dreamhost they told me that the offer was only until 1/3. They claim that because I did not sign up on or before 1/3 that they will not honor this offer. Wthen I signed up on 1/4, this site (quicktips) said the offer was extended, as indicated by the strikethrough font, and when I entered the code they tried to chart me over $42.
IT WORKS!!! Use promo code 220. I paid $21.45
I am registered one year plan on 02,01,2009, but my account pending to approval till now, why?
this overseller is not even having good server hardware to handle signups too. tried many times to signup without success.
They have extended the sale to 5 January 2009. It amusing how they are extending it one day at a time. I guess the good business they are getting is too much to turn off.
@Dingyan: I’m not sure today’s promotion changed something, but yesterday’s DID work outside the US. At least it did work for me and I’m German.
Damn, i missed this. If it was not working in India. I would have passed it over to friends worldwide so they could benefit from it. Was late for the show :(
Please note the promo code discounts are changing based on reader feedback and have been updated in the article above.
Code 202 now gives 80% discount costing $42.96.
Code 220 is giving 90% discount costing $21.48
@Fred Firstly, the 202 code is Dreamhost company code and we make no commission from it. That is clearly mentioned in the disclosure above.
Every webhost has their downtimes and problems, but its just that Dreamhost talks about it, shares the blame, fixes responsibility, apologizes and lets customers talk about it – rather than stay quiet about it behind closed doors not letting anyone know what is happening. This transparency is what I like about Dreamhost. Of course hosting is a big decision and members are welcome to read why we host this site on Dreamhost for last over 3 years.
$21.48 with 220 promo code as of 11 PM CST 1/4/08
Came up as $21.48 for me with the 220 promo code. You must be doing something wrong.
I’m in the US, and getting 42.96 due now when using the 202 promo code.
Maybe the deal expired prematurely?
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 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.
I use the 220 code instead of 202 and got 2 years for $21. Which still be a good deal to me.
220 worked. Excellent. No more GoDaddy!
I got 42.96. That’s only 80% and not the deal I came in for. Even the $21 would have been a fine deal, but this bait and switch is garbage.
42.96 here as well. What’s up with that? I signed up anyway
Use code 220 to get 90% discount since they changed to 80% for the code 202. Thats what I just did and it cost me like 21$!
Hope it helps!
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.
Using 220 instead of 202 gave me two years for $21.48.
42.96 here as well. That’s lame…
42.96 for me too.
Am now being quoted $42.96 as a two-year price with this promo code… is this happening to anyone else?
It’s $42.96 for me. Am I doing something wrong? I did not select any special features.
mee too, coming to 29.95 :(
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
I finally signed up too. It was the higher price but either way it’s still a good deal. :) Thanks
I thing This offer is not for India
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.
Just tried at 1:00 EST in the US and it is coming up as $29.95
Thanks for the great tip! Just signed up from Germany with the 202 code for $21.48. Awesome.
Does anyone know if this offer lasts through January 4, or only until January 4?
Its live right now on 4 January 2008.
Is this offer valid *through* the 4th or just until the 4th? Missed the post yesterday :(
I was able to sign up, and posted an entry on my blog to alert others to this great deal!
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
got 2 years for $21.48.. which is still very good and got myself a very nice domain too :) thank you so much!
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.
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. :)
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)
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.
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
I got 90% off
could tell me if using a proxy can make the purchase?
or countries that can make the purchase?
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?
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!
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.
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).
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! :)
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 .
