It’s true. My dream come true!
Dreamhost is offering free hosting with DreamHostApps. You can create a free subdomain on dreamhosters.com so your blog will look like yoursite.dreamhosters.com. You could also use a domain you already have or register a new one with DreamHost ($9.95).
You get WordPress, Drupal, phpBB, ZenPhoto, MediaWiki, Google Apps and Gmail totally freely hosted by DreamHost for life. (They said it on their blog so it’s their word not mine.)
DreamHostApps is in beta stage so they might start charging a fee once it’s out of beta, but only to new users. Or this could be a big publicity stunt, and they’re not really going to charge anything for it, they just want loads of people signing up thinking it’s some exclusive opportunity that’s expiring soon.
Who cares? It’s free hosting! Sign up or you’re totally missing out!
P.S. Eh. I spoke too soon. Hosting is limited, there is no file-level access so you can’t actually upload your own themes or plugins. In time, it may rival Blogger (DreamHostApps offers subdomains, free apps plus unlimited content, storage. It’s awesome). But for now, it’s best they keep it free. People start creating themes for DreamHostApps!
fli, fli, heidee told me youre giving out free domain hosting reg daw? dale….
Hi Chu! Yes but it’s not with DreamHost (they don’t accept Paypal, their loss). It’s with HostMonster.
Just tell me what CMS you want me to install (Joomla, Drupal, WordPress, etc) and I’ll hop to it. 🙂
For what domain gale?
