Great Hosting Deal

Site5.com has got an INCREDIBLE steal on web-hosting for anyone that’s interested – and NO, I’m not getting paid by an affiliate program to write this!!! Read the details.

I only bring this up because I’ve been debating switching web-hosts for the better part of 9 months and seriously investigating Site5.

They’ve taken a unique approach and invested all the money they would normally spend for marketing for the month of September and pumping it directly into their high-end shared hosting packages so you can save literally 70%-80%. They’re only doing 40 of these offers per day in order to stay consistent with their own budget.

Here’s the package (Multi-Site Dynamite) features:

  • Normally about $30/mo.!
  • 15GB online storage.
  • 1TB transfer/month.
  • Unlimited emails, scripts, and MySQL databases.
  • Dedicated IP address.
  • SSH, FTP access.
  • Ruby On Rails hosting with FastCGI (the reason I’ll be purchasing this package).
  • Multi-Site: run 6 complete websites off one account with a dedicated control panel for each.
  • Low customer-to-server ratio so other people’s web-sites don’t slow yours down.

Normally this package costs $26.95-$29.95/month (which comes to $323.40-$359.40 for each year of hosting). With this special offer you can nab it for $99 for one year or $149 for two years. This means that you’re getting the $30/month package for $6.21-$8.25 per month!

Although Skinyourscreen.com is staying with the current web-host for the time-being, Site5’s account definitely gives the means and the capability to transfer to a better server easily. More to come on this later.

[Update]: Okay, I’ve gone ahead and purchased the two-year package, so I’m not entirely impartial in the matter. However, check the links: I’m not a member of any affiliate program for Site5 and in fact have nothing to gain by informing anyone of this. I simply am very pleased with their hosting and think it’s a TREMENDOUS deal. These kinds of things need to be shared!

The Giver by Lois Lowry
The Giver

Award-winning juvenile fiction which discusses the weighty matters of choice, infanticide, and geriatricide in a way that ultimately leaves the reader to decide in an unbiased fashion. In a utopian culture of the future that maintains a base-line standard of life through self-suppresion and communistic assignment of duties and euthenasia of non-contributing members, young Jonas receives the very rare and enigmatic duty of Receiver. With this new role come rules of a very different nature than the rest of the culture. Ultimately this permits bypass of the emotional blindness and the revelation of the true nature and history of the culture.


Consider Phlebas, by Iain M. Banks
Consider Phlebas

Where James Rollins makes you grit your teeth as your favorite characters are seemingly killed only to pop up safe at the end, Iain Banks pushes your favorite characters through gut-wrenching punishment and still has the sadism to kill ‘em all at the end anyway. Don’t worry, it’s the ride that counts (or at least that’s what I keep telling myself).


Tuesdays with Morrie, by Mitch Albom
Tuesdays with Morrie

Few books touch me so indelibly. Rarer still are true stories that leave a mark or impression on my soul. Tuesday’s with Morrie has done that with rapacious wit, candora, melancholy, but most importantly, truth. Life is to be lived, and fully, not sequestered away seeking money, fame. Life is who you love. This is a book to own. I hope my kids will pick it up off the shelf when they’re old enough and give it a read.


Martin Koch's Building Electric Guitars
Building Electric Guitars

Great resource read for anyone thinking of building their own electric guitar. Great examples and nice anecdotal information. Tremendously lacking in schematic or diagramatic details, but rich with verbal suggestions. I’d recommend reading this to get an idea before going online and getting more pertinent details. Organization is a bit confusing, but when used as a reference (i.e.: skipping to a needed section) the book still proves its worth.
