Nope, can't sign anyone up till the 4th ... Last time I started early I got some bad PR :)

Bad PR? What happened? You probably don't want to say. Can't see why anyone would complain -- you treat people well.

Ok guys, I'm getting really excited about this July 4th Explosion sale!! All servers are ready, more waiting if necessary. I've been asked every day - whats the sale gonna be? Whats the promo? Will you start it early?

Q. Whats the sale gonna be - Whats the promo?

A. I told ya it's gonna be AWESOME! We'll have our FAMOUS 2/1 Sale (Double quotas or 2 regular hosting accounts for the price of one) - OR - our $25 Starter Sale (200mb 3GB bandwidth) ... YOU CHOOSE! (you can't mix them together, but there's nothing to say you can't buy one (or more) of EACH package !! To make the offer even SWEETER - For the dates of this sale only, I'm lowering the domain name registration price to only $9.95 - thats another $2 savings.

Q. Will you start it early?

A. Probably not. I really took some nasty comments from people when I started early last time ... kinda left a bad taste in my mouth. I may change my mind if there is enough interest in starting early ... but the earliest I'll consider is Thursday July 3 - nothing before that. Let me know what you think. I've got to finish up the credit card processing before I'll even consider it - I want everything to be smooth as silk by the time this starts.

Q. I'm worried you're gonna take my money and run to ________ (fill in the blank).

A. HostPC has been in business for nearly 5 years now... we're not going anywhere. I don't know how else to stress that. I think HostPC's reliability and stability have been proven over these 5 years. Search popular, non-biased online sources like Webhostingtalk (webhostingtalk.com) - you won't find a bad comment anywhere. If you're already a customer - I'd sure appreciate you spreading the word about your experiences with HostPC anywhere/everywhere. It's your continued support, and word of mouth advertising that keeps HostPC strong.


Have a great week everyone - lets make this a fourth of July to remember!

Sounds like a great deal. Although I'm a huge supporter of the sale, I can't help but shake my fists as I feel like I'm going to be making up domains just to take advantage of the sale :lol:

Can't wait for July 3!

Thanks!!

You'll always have the rate you signed up with for the life of your account... So if you paid the $25/yr at Memorial Day, as long as you don't cancel the account or the billing, you remain at $25 for every consecutive year!

I love it!!!!!

With the number of requests we've had from clients of createspace/FeaturePrice and several others ... all saying that their hosts have closed up (while we remain strong) - I've decided to start this sale a bit early. I'm sure I'll be hated for it, but having websites down is NEVER easy, I'd like to help these people however we can.

The details are now released.

You can choose our $25 Special - http://www.hostpc.com/July4thSale.html

or

Our Famous 2 for 1 Special - http://www.hostpc.com/saleorder.php - which gives you TWO hosting accounts (of the normally posted plans) for the price of one, OR Twice the quotas for one plan.

You can choose ONE or the other - NOT both. For instance, you can't get DOUBLE quotas on the $25 special ... etc.

ALL domain transfers/renewals and new domain registrations (.com/.net/.org) will get a SPECIAL price of only $8.95 per year ... this will DEFINATELY end on Sunday night - so get it while it's HOT!


If you have any questions, please post them in this thread - others may benefit from your questions as well.

New accounts will be setup in 4-6 hours, or less.

Staff MAY or MAY NOT be available via IRC for support as we get clients setup as fast as possible, and insuring that we have new servers prepped and ready for a landslide. :)

Thanks everyone for your support - I hope to be seeing a LOT more friendly faces around here soon!

Joe,

I'm looking for a webhost for a small family site. Maybe some pic-hosting, maybe *someday* a family website, etc. May also be looking for a new host for church website around Thanksgiving-time...

Question about your services:

1. In signing up for the $25/year special, it leads me directly to PayPal without signing up for anything... Will I get a chance to fill out the specific after that? Or will you email me a link? How will this work? When I've set up sites before, I've filled out all the pertinant info first, then it linked to the $$ part. Just curious...

2. Are you okay hosting a .us site? I see in your stuff that you do .com, .net and .org. Just wanna make sure you can host a site for the .us name that I just bought through godaddy.

Thanks >> and looking forward to doing business with you!

When you go here:
http://www.hostpc.com/July4thSale.html

You should click the "Sign Up Now" section, which will link you to our order form - asking for complete details before you go to Paypal...


As for .us domains, yes, thats no problem. We're registering .com/.net and .org for $8.95, but not .us - but you're free to bring your own .us - how appropriate for a 4th of July Sale!!

Hey, that gives me an idea :)

Joe
07-02-2003, 07:37 PM
Thanks for the great idea!! I just changed our price on registering .US domains to $8.95 as well! Kinda fitting for a July 4th Sale, eh?

Have a great day everyone - and welcome aboard to our new clients!

Hey Joe I've sent you a couple of emails recently and I was wondering if you've had a chance to read them since I haven't heard back from you.

You're probably busy with this sale you have going on, but please get back to me so I can make alternate arrangements if necessary.

Thanks,
Kevin

I'm having some personal web connectivity problems tonight - orders are a bit delayed ... and responses to emails sent may not happen until morning. Verizon's routers are experiencing some MAJOR problems here in NY. I've been on the phone with them for the last 2 hrs trying to find a work around... so far, I'm waiting for an upper level tech to get me moved off the Genuity GSP service ... I think thats where the problem is at the moment.

I will get to your questions and get them replied to ASAP. If your question is URGENT and can not wait till morning, please call our offices at (877) 587-2091 - I'll handle your calls personally, on an individual basis.

I've been trying to register my domain through your site.. and I've tried 2 diff. credit cards and it keeps getting hung on some sort of error saying that I didn't enter in some billing info correctly... I've ordered other stuff online using the same credit cards and never encountered such a problem... any ideas??

thx

Send me details of the domain registration... who it's to be registered to, domain name, address, phone etc via e-mail, we'll register it on your behalf, in your name and bill you for the service at the current domain rate. Send the details to support @ hostpc.com

We use Enom for domain registrations - I'm not sure what issues they're having concerning overseas registrations, but we'll get you taken care of.

Less than 18 hours of this sale remain. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their support and confidence in HostPC. I'd also like to welcome all our new members!!

One of our members chose to mention us to Fatwallet, Anandtech and Webhostingtalk.com - and that put a surge in our sales for the past 48 hours ... we really appreciate your word of mouth support!
