I get this when entering the promo code

"The 777 promo is only good on 1 or 2-year CDI plans"

Sure enough. Price dropped from $119.40 to $9.24 for a whole year of hosting plus free domain name. Yowsa!

EDIT: Just saw that this deal was posted last October at fatwallet. So the good news is that it's nothing new and will likely be around for a while...

I've only heard good things about this host. I've seen advertising by them in major magazines. For $9.24 or whatever it comes out to, how can you go wrong.

A .com/2.4 gigs storage/120 gigs of bandwidth a month... HOOOOWWEEYY.

That beats my current plan under the free 3 years from 1and1. I only get 5 gigs of bandiwdth from them.

Maybe this belongs in another forum, but how hard would it be for someone who is only semi-computer literate to set up a PHP styled discussion forum at DreamHost?

I've been using their service since January. No complaints on my end but why would there be any considering the price :) Can't beat <$10 for a full year with 120gb bandwidth per month (99.999% chance that I will never get to that point)

http://www.phpbb.com/ you could start there. Setting up MySQL database is easy at dreamhost.

try signing up for 12 months. seems like if you try getting 2 years, the deal doesnt really work.
