Domain Storage Half Off May 2011

It seems that Powweb is running a half off sale on their Website domain storage and free domain name sale.
I did not know this until I was at work and getting my boss off of our ten year old dedicated host server that kept crashing and only gave us like 200 mb of storage. My boss was paying $1800 a year for such service. We do not need that kind of server with that little of storage. Sure if they had given us 5 gb of storage, then a dedicated server would have been perfect. Then we could have put customer files on the server and gave them access to the files at break neck speeds. instead we had enough space for a 20 page website with one repeated flash image, and we were maxed out. 200 mb of storage does not go that far. On top of all of that, we had 250 mb limit per month. With no ability to run any scripts because the server was built in 1998 and only updated as far as it’s obsolete operating system is worth.
I called tech support to see if I could get anything done. The fees became unbelievable. That company was bad for the company I work for. Useless for creativity, and far antiquated.
So I mentioned that I use powwebto my boss and that I pay $130 a year, with unlimited emails, unlimited bandwidth and unlimited storage. That’s for domain name renewal and storage renewal. My boss was amazed at how I knocked the bill into less than 1/10th the cost of previous server bills. I requested he clicked the link on my website for the domain host and he just handed me the credit card and put me on it. While I was filling all of the totals out, I saw that I could get him 2 years for $93.12 on his domain storage. This of course I noticed when at the end it asked “did any refer you?” I selected “other” and then typed in my website address ( TruXterTech.com) and it knocked off an extra $5 off of his bill.
When I showed him that he now has unlimited website storage and unlimited bandwidth and unlimited email accounts, he just grinned. didn’t say much after that. Kind of creeped me out but hey, I did good.

If you will notice, TruXterTech.com loads super fast and is rarely ever down. Then you know with everything unlimited and at half price, you are getting a great deal. Hope you do the wise thing and select more than one year because this sale will not last forever. I don’t even know if it will be on next month. They don’t really say much about that. probably a good idea to select two or more years. Imagine getting 5 years at the cost I pay for two. For five years you wouldn’t have to worry about your website storage, at all.

I can tell you that I have called their tech support and the phone was answered in seconds and the issue was resolved in a matter of minutes. And yes it was my fault for “learning how to do stuff” when I shouldn’t have been messing with stuff. but they restored me for free and got me running again in minutes.
