Cheap Web Hosting

Nick Momrik2 Comments

Get web hosting from DreamHost for less than $10 for the first year. Simply use promotion code 777 when you order. I’ve been told that the promotion is over, so I’ve setup a new code. Use promotion code MDV2 and receive discounts on any hosting package through DreamHost.

This applies to their “Crazy Domain Insane” package and you must choose to sign-up for a year. The package includes:

  • 1 FREE domain registration
  • Host 3 full domains and 15 subdomains
  • 2400 MB Disk space
  • 120 GB Transfer
  • 600 Mailboxes
  • 75 Shell/FTP Users

If you’d like a higher package, I’ve setup my own promo code that will give you discounts. Basically you’ll get $20 off a monthly plan, $40 off a 1-year plan, or $60 off a 2-year plan. Simply use promotion code MDV2 when you order.

I’d also appreciate it if you would sign-up through the links in this post or enter mtdewvirus as your referral so that I get credit. If you use my promotion code, I’ll automatically get credit.

I’m signing up for my own DreamHost account as I finish up this post. I’m all setup. Now I just need to figure out the best (quickest and least painful) way to transfer my sites over.

Forward

I’m pretty happy with the way the design turned out. I call it Forward because of it’s relation to my life right now. We can usually tell what is over our heads and what is under our feet, but we don’t always know what’s right in front of us. For instance, just look at the header and footer images. You might not be able to tell, but both images are cut from a photo I took in Philadelphia last year. I purposely didn’t use any of the middle section. What you find in the content of this site is always changing. It’s the unknown. This new design also comes at a point in my life where I hope to be moving forward very soon. My “master life plan” is finally coming into view.

I still have a lot to do with the site and other things related to the release of WordPress 1.5. The next item on my to-do list is to convert all of the plugins I’ve created so that they work with WP 1.5. This shouldn’t take too much time. I also need to prepare MDV-Archive for release. What’s this? Just browse through the archives and you’ll see they don’t function like the archives on most WP sites. It really shouldn’t be too difficult to get this released, so it may come before the plugins. I basically just need to edit a few lines and offer the files for download.

On the home front, here at MtDewVirus, I’m going to put up an extensive about section. It’ll be complete with information about yours truly, the history of MtDewVirus, an explanation of how things are accomplished in Forward, and an FAQ. If you have any questions about Forward, the site, or anything else please post a comment and I’ll be sure to take it into consideration.

One thing that may change with Forward is the font used for the image headlines (not the font in the header image). I’m not sure it fits in. Let me know what you think.

I should also mention that Forward was built on top of the default theme (Kubrick) that now ships with WP 1.5, but is highly customized.

All New

As you may have noticed, I’m in the process of rolling out the new MtDewVirus design. Please excuse the small piles of dust here and there as I clean a few things up. Also note that I haven’t even started to work on the Photos section of the site. Much more to come in the […]

What Happened To MtDewVirus?

As you may have noticed, the look has changed. Matt asked if I’d test out the first build of WordPress 1.5 and I couldn’t say no. I haven’t had the chance to give everything a test run, but I’ve noticed some great changes already. Over the next few days I’ll be pumping out a new design (I’m using the new WP default theme for now) and will write up a review of all that is new to WP.
