Save 20% on Your First 12 Months of Hosting with Eleven2!

Published June 29th, 2011 in Hosting - 5 Comments

Every website needs quality, affordable hosting. We’re happy to announce that our host, Eleven2, is offering a 20% discount for the first twelve months on new plans with the promo code “vandelay” (please continue reading for details)!

Several months ago we posted a few coupon codes that would save you some money on the first month of a hosting account with Eleven2, and a number of readers took advantage of that promo. That offer drew enough response that we thought that this deal is certainly worth mentioning. We use Eleven2 ourselves and we frequently recommend them to our clients as well (we’ve written a more detailed review of Eleven2 if you are interested).

My First Impressions of Amazon S3

Published September 10th, 2008 in Hosting - 16 Comments

A few months ago I was looking into a variety of hosting options before launching DesignM.ag and Amazon S3 stood out as an attractive option for hosting the images used on the site. If you’re not familiar with Amazon’s Simple Storage Service (S3), it “is designed to make web-scale computing easier for developers.”A growing number of websites and blogs are using S3 to host media files and for server backups, and ultimately I felt that it was a great way to reduce the burden on the server of the host by storing images on a separate server. S3 is an attractive option because it is low cost (particularly in comparison to hosting overage charges) and very flexible. Once you open an account you can upload as little or as much as you want, and you only pay for what you use.
