50% Web Hosting Discount for Shouters

Dear Shouters,

Thank you for waiting. The time has come to announce a great news for Shouters! For the first time, ShoutOutLounge actually have the opportunity to give special promotions for Shouters and Shouters only. Special thanks to Exabytes for graciously providing this welcoming gift in conjunction with the sponsorship of a dedicated server for ShoutOutLounge.

We know that some of you have been itching to get a hosting package for your very own domain, please do not miss this opportunity. This is your chance to host your own WordPress powered blog, your own forum powered by phpBB or vBulletin or even your own web application.

 

Who is Entitled

In short, Shouters. Yep, you must be a Shouter to be entitled to this promotion. Does that make you feel special? This promotion starts now until the end of this month which is 31st of July. It is also limited to the first 20 sign up.

What Do You Get

A very large discount of 50% off the price of selected hosting packages. Below are the prices for each of the web hosting packages before and after the discount.

 

I can’t be sure, but if I am not mistaken, this is by far the best promotion I have seen from Exabytes. This means, your new blog/forum/web application will be up and running with as little as RM134.50.

How to get  

Very simple. Just 2 steps. First, you must comment on this blog post with your Shouter’s username and what will you be using this hosting for. Second, catch me (Lasker) at ShoutOutLounge and ask me for the Coupon Code. I'll then Whisper that Coupon Code to you. You will then use that Coupon Code when you purchase the hosting package.

Please note that receiving the Coupon Code does NOT automatically mean you will get the discount. It is still a first-come-first-served basis, if you sit on your Coupon Code while others go ahead and use it, you will NOT be able to get the discount if you are the 21st person to sign up.

Argh, I Already Paid for Another Hosting Package

We anticipated this and have asked Exabytes for an arrangement for Shouters with this scenario. This is how it is going to work.

Once you have successfully purchased Exabytes’s hosting package with the Coupon Code, you can provide Exabytes with receipt/agreement or any proof of purchase with your other hosting company. The proof must contain the remaining months of hosting period. Submit this to their customer service via info@exabytes.com.my. Their customer service will then extend the same remaining period towards the new hosting packages you just purchased.

Let us explain with an example: Mr. A is currently hosting with XYZ company and their hosting expiry date with XYZ company will be on 14-Dec-2009 (5 months from now). If Mr. A subscribe for hosting services with Exabytes now for 1 year basis, his hosting expiry date suppose to be on 13-Jul-2010. If Mr. A is able to provide proof of his agreement or receipt with XYZ company that his hosting will expire 5 months from now, Exabytes will extend additional 5 months for his hosting with Exabytes. In other words, Mr. A just need to pay 50% of the hosting price with Exabytes (while stock last) and his hosting expiry date with Exabytes will be extended to 13-Dec-2010.

That’s about as clear as we can get. If you need further explanation, please ask me at ShoutOutLounge.

This is Recommended

At the risk of sounding like a promoter, I would like to say that this is a highly recommended purchase if you are already leaning towards getting a hosting package. ShoutOutLounge was actually hosted with the exact same package as Ebiz Gold Windows mentioned above. When we first bought it, it was priced at RM700++ per year (this is including database purchase). Now, you can get it at RM199.50. The price alone is already worth it.

 

Update: We received replies from Exabytes and here are the answers.

• Unfortunately, this promotion is not applicable to Exabytes renewal. It is applicable with new signup for a new web hosting package.
• This is a one time discount. After the purchased period (1 year or 2 years), the renewal price will revert back to it’s original price as stated in the table above. Therefore, it is recommended to get a 2 years discount instead of just one to appreciate this discount fully.
