Becoming somewhat of a yearly thing for us, it is now time again for our annual Halloween promotion! For those who have not seen it before, a quick explanation. This is our take on the “trick or treat” festivities surrounding Halloween. To take part, simply click on the ‘Trick or Treat’ button and one of the following will happen.

• You receive a “trick” and a randomly picked message will tell you to come back again later.
• You receive a “treat” and are given a promotional code offering between 5% and 30% off any new purchase of our shared and reseller hosting packages, on any billing cycle, until November 1st.
• You receive a “golden pumpkin” giving you 1 years free Starter/Blog hosting!

Rules/Disclaimer:

You may take part once a day (every 24 hours). Any codes generated will expire at the end of November 1st 2011. You may give the codes to others if you wish. Please do not use proxies or web anonymizers to try and exploit the system (we do check for these). You do not need to be an existing client to take part – anyone can take part. Promotional codes are for purchases of new hosting accounts only and cannot be applied to existing active hosting accounts.

We are currently looking for someone who can make a more awesome Halloween themed image than the one that is currently on the promotional page, incorporating our logo. If you have the time and skill, please get in touch!

Halloween isn’t for around 3 weeks now, but we decided to launch our October 2010 promotion(s) slightly early to give you plenty of time (and chances) to get some great offers. You may remember this from last year, and since so many people enjoyed it, we bring it to you again this year

Trick or Treat ThisWebHost 2010

How does it work? Once a day (that’s every 24 hours) you may “trick or treat” us by pressing the button. You then have a 50/50 chance of hitting “TRICK” or “TREAT”. “TREAT” will provide you with one of the following;

TREATS are provided in the form of unique discount codes, which you may either use yourself or give to others if you wish. Don’t forget to include your affiliate link if you’d like to earn some commission! Very lucky users will receive a golden TREAT that will provide them an entire years free hosting with us!

Coupons generated will expire 1st November 2010. This service is limited to a single use, per user, every 24 hours. There is no limit to the number of coupon codes a single user may win. Users may distribute the coupon codes if they wish. To use the coupon codes, simply enter them into the promotional code section of our order system, located at http://www.thiswebhost.com/order.html

Please note that coupons can only be used for new orders, and cannot be applied to invoices or existing orders with us.

We hope you enjoyed our Halloween promotion and found it a little different! Congratulations to all those who won a coupon code and free hosting. If you didn’t win anything this time, don’t fret – there’ll be plenty of other opportunites to bag yourself some discounts or free hosting in the future.

Starting today (November 1st) and running right up until the end of the month (or maybe longer), we’re going to be providing people the chance to try our service for just $0.99. That’s right – we’re now offering the first month of our Starter/Blog hosting package for just $0.99. It’s hard to get any cheaper than that, isn’t it? Now, obviously this doesn’t include domain registration, domain transfer(s) or dedicated IP addresses. It’s simply our Starter/Blog package for $0.99c so that you can get a feel for our service. At the end of your first month, the price will revert back to the usual $2.99/month.

We’ve already updated the order link on our products page to include the discount coupon needed, so there’s nothing to enter. Everyone signing up to the Starter/Blog package from this moment on will automatically receive their first month for $0.99c. When ordering, you won’t see the coupon immediately, but simply choose ‘$2.99 – Monthly’ and on the next page the coupon will apply and it’ll be reduced to just $0.99c.

So, please help spread the word, and let people know they can try the awesome this* hosting for a ridiculously low price!

We love promotions and coupon code giveaways as much as anyone else, so this Halloween we decided to try something a little different. Rather than just provide you with fixed coupon codes via Twitter or our blog, we thought we’d have a little fun instead. What better way then to take advantage of a tradition many children engage in, and allow you to TRICK OR TREAT us?

That’s right, it sounds crazy… and it probably is, but David cooked up an awesome Halloween themed logo and I went back to my PHP roots in order to create a kind of online TRICK OR TREAT feature that allows you (existing or new clients) to trick or treat us. Now, obviously you can’t throw eggs, flour or tissue paper at us but you do have the chance of bagging yourself some random discount coupons or even a years hosting completely free of charge!

Trick or Treat

When you TRICK OR TREAT us, you have the chance of either hitting TRICK or TREAT. TRICK fortunately won’t melt your computer or do anything bad to you, except give you a non-positive response. TREAT on the other hand may give you a random discount coupon (ranging from 5-30% off). Very very lucky users will have the chance of picking up a years free Starter/Blog hosting package – completely free of charge.

To try and prevent exploitation and people from hammering the page in order to try and win a years hosting, we’ve limited each attempt to once per hour. If you don’t get yourself a coupon, or you’d prefer to try your hand at getting a higher valued coupon, simply come back later. We’ve tested the page as much as we can, however naturally we reserve the right to reset or remove coupons if we detect any foul play or coding issues on our part. This promotion (and the corresponding coupon codes) will expire on November 1st 2009.

So what are you waiting for? TRICK OR TREAT us now by clicking the image above! Best of luck.

The last few months have been good to us, and we’ve reached the stage where we’ve just installed our third shared hosting server. We’re still a very small hosting provider comparitively, but we’re extremely happy with the level of service we’ve been able to provide to date, as I hope our customers also are.

We often provide promotional coupons over Twitter for new clients, but we felt it’s time to give a little something back to existing clients too. For the next 3 days we’re going to provide 50% off any hosting order, to all new clients when using the coupon code THIS3. To recap, when signing up for a new hosting package, simply enter the coupon code THIS3 and your order will be half price! Please note that this only applies to new orders, and does not include domain registration. This coupon will expire on October 6th 2009.

What about existing clients? If you’re an existing client, we will happily upgrade one of your hosting accounts to the next tier completely free of charge. Your price will remain the same, but you will receive the next upper available package for the remainder of your hosting with us. If you’re currently an Ultra account holder, we’ll provide you with a unique coupon code that will allow you to redeem a Starter/Blog hosting package, completely free of charge for life. The deadline to receive your free upgrade or unique coupon will also expire on October 6th 2009.

To receive your upgrade, please get in touch with a member of our team via the support ticket system. Due to billing software limitations, we are unable to upgrade all of our clients automatically, so please consider this a Twitter/Blog promotion only.

We hope you find this promotion helpful, and we’d like to thank all of our existing clients for being a part of the this* family. As always, if you’re happy with our service, please consider writing a review about us. You can find information on the best places to do that by visiting this page: http://www.thiswebhost.com/happy
