Hello Black Friday, Looking For A Great Hosting Deal

Black Friday

I hated Black Friday!

Oh, of course I appreciate the prices, but I hate dealing with the mad rush everywhere to get that something special…  I’m more of a Cyber-Monday kind of guy!

But this coming Black Friday, I may have to change my plans of ignoring the event!

As long time reader may know, the www.Moneyreasons.com site was an experiment that started out its existence as a virtual server guest on my Vista workstation at home.  However the reliability and unique characteristics of my ISP caused me to go to a shared host solution instead,  and comparatively, it has been much better, but not great.

So now it’s time to consider a bigger, better solution, because of the great deals coming this Black Friday at HostGator.com!  The rumors is that HostGator is going to offer 50% to 80% off on everything that they currently offer!

The 80% deal off of everything is huge!  I’m honestly debating whether to go to a more expensive shared hosting option at HostGator, or go with a virtual server solution that HostGator offers instead!

After all, with an 80% discount, the Virtual Server solutions will run about the same as a shared host solution!

So yes Virginia, I will be going out on Thanksgiving to purchase goods… at least, online I will!!!

I can honestly say that I’m excited about the HostGator deal!!!

I hope my fellow black friday shoppers get all that they want too, and Happy Thanksgiving to my US readers!!!

  1. Hey MR, MoneyCone’s on HostGator as well. Been great so far – no major issues and they are prompt in responding to your emails. Even without the discount they are a good deal!

    • Thanks for the great info! I’ve heard some pretty good think about that company.

      Honestly, I would love to go back to a virtual machine (which they provided). I think that would be awesome!

      • That would be ideal! But HG’s shared plans aren’t that bad. Has survived Digg and Reddit onslaughts on my other sites – you won’t be disappointed.

  2. Agreed, Black Friday’s a hassle and, with the exception of a few limited deals, not the cheapest price to be found during the Holiday season (that would be the last Saturday before Christmas).

    But, 80% off?! Can’t blame you for being excited!

    Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!

  3. I love Inmotion hosting, but you already know that. I think I pay 9.95 a month, and it is totally worth it. I think it has been down a total of an hour (that I know of) since I started blogging in March.

    Happy Thanksgiving!

  4. MR- I use Bluehost and love ’em. I’ve only had one short outage that I know of over the past year.

    It’s only $6.95 a month…..but the main reason I love them is their support. I’ve had to call their tech support about a dozen times for various things (mostly stuff I screwed up) and each time I got an answer almost immediately and they walked me through a lot of free tech support above and beyond the normal call of duty.

    If you’re considering alternatives to Host Gator, feel free to email me and i’ll send you my aff link, but I won’t spam it in this comment.

    • It’s the luck of the draw with Shared hosts. I just got unlucky with the servers I was one. I do think some companies are better than others though. Both hostgator and inmotion host providers, I’ve heard glowing reviews about!

    • I missed the 80%, so I didn’t jump hosts afterall, I was so upset that I didn’t get the 80%… That would have been great!

  6. That’s a great price reduction on a host. I personally host my sites with LunarPages, but I know that HostGator is also a good server as well. Maybe you’ll have to write a follow up post about your experience and how much you saved!

    • I was so disappointed that I missed the 80% sale, that I decided to stay put.

      My old host did move me to a different server, so perhaps that will make a big difference, we’ll see…
