Ventra IP Hosting 75% off first invoice,
Pretty decent hosting, Not value at Full price but at 75 % off , it's a decent deal, I've been a customer for over 2 years and am very happy, decent support and uptime.
As part of our month-long September sales, until Wednesday September 16 you can take a massive 75% off the first invoice when you purchase any new Economy, Business or WHM Multi cPanel web hosting service.
$50 cash in VIP Wallet for the referrer after referee signs up to a new hosting service and either a new domain name or transfer an existing domain name, and remains an active customer for at least 60 days
To answer my own question, coupon appears to work with Triennial packages.
I agree, I'm the same, these guys are good
They also bought out 9web that has been very popular here.
Would these guys be better than NetVirtue?
I'd say service is at par. The offerings vary a bit depending on whether you value more disk space on the servers or more bandwidth per month. (speaking of economy plans only)
I've been using them for a few years, they're great! Admittedly I've never payed full price :P too bad I can't get 75% off renewals, I'd add an extra few years on!
Even renewals, never paid full price?
What do you go for Business account or WHM Multi web hosting?
Honestly I just use the web space for me and my friends/University stuff so I just get a new hosting service each time it runs out. Just the economy plus plan usually, I think it works out to be $25ish a year, it's enough for my personal stuff ☺
Cool, thanks.
Even renewals, never paid full price?
How did you manage to do that ?
Ah, these are the guys I'm with now, from when 9web sold me to them. They work alright I guess.
Same for me. No issues with VentraIP, not sure if they are going to honour the commitment of 9Web though which was the $1/month hosting for the lifetime of my account. It will be interesting to see what happens when my triennial subscription is up for renewal.
Fingers crossed hey!
Had a look at my account, the renewal amount is $5/month, and will be under the "Economy Saver" plan*.
So we will be paying the standard prices from Ventral-IP, when our period runs out.
I manage a few websites for friends and family. At the moment I ve them all hosted on a single 'Business' account with one Cpanel account to rule them all. I was thinking of switching them to a WHM Multi web hosting account. So each website has it's own Cpanel account.
What do you guys reckon.
Mate
I have a business account with them as well, Currently 2 years up and coming up for renewal in 9 months.
Is there anyway to get a good deal for renewal or are we screwed to paying full price for renewal ?
Screwed, they suck us in with sweet candy, then when renewal comes round - paying full price for renewal.
I think you'd have to create a new account get 75% off and transfer all your data across. You have 9 months to go, juts keep an eye out they'll have another offer by then. Even on their website they have 50% off first invoice all the time.
If it were me, I'd do the following:
Depending on how much you paid for the 2 years.. If the total sum invested including signing up for a new service is less than the cost of the 9 months per unit month, I'd probably pull the trigger and re-initiate a new service, and move the data/hosting all over to the new service, and leave the 9 month service dormant, or wait till it expires and then do the move.
Algebraically, it goes like this:
Where x is the pro-rata'd "value" of the remaining 9 months,
((0.25 * 3 years cost for the new service) + x ) / 36 months = y
If y is significantly less than the cost of the per-month you had paid for the 9 months, then through speculation, I would do it as over 36 months, you amortize the loss which works out to be about 0.25 months loss of subscription time per month.
If y is greater than the cost of the per-month you had paid for the 9 months, then I would continue with the existing service because you did not gain at all from performing the above.
You are gambling on the fact that they won't have any specials in 9 months when you need to renew.
You should also not take financial advise from strangers on the interwebs.
So, let's use a working example:
Business cPanel @ $598.80 bi-annually
Assume you applied 50% discount that seems to be widely available without much need for dealhunting.
((0.25 * 898.20) + ((299.40 / 24) * 9)) / 36 = ~$9.35
So
Cost per month to continue your existing plan = 12.475
Cost per month to continue your existing plan + 2 years 3 months on top = $9.35
Is ~$3/month (or ~$112.50 over 3 years) worth the effort to migrate data over? Your call.
Just took them up on their 'Business lite' deal and indeed, the price came to 75% off the marked price. So far, I'm happy.
Funny story - I wanted to take up this offer but I was putting off contacting my current host because she's served me well over the last few years and she's the friend of a friend. When I did, she was pleased and she was wondering how she was going to tellme she was getting out of the hosting game. She thought VentraIP were a good choice.
Good work there. Love the funny story too! :)
75% off is hard to pass up.
How many years can you order with this coupon?
