The FreeBoard plan is just like our big hosting plans, only not so big. In fact, this new plan is on the same kind of professional grade servers we use for hosting businesses. Right now you get all the benefits of a quad-core server with 16GB of RAM and a RAID-10 hard disk array for data security and speed. And if you ever need to upgrade to a larger plan, we’ve made that easier than ever!
After a lot of consideration, we’re now offering an ALMOST free web hosting solution with all the benefits of top-class commercial web hosting.
By implementing rigorous fraud prevention software we can weed out the “undesirables” and guarantee the high levels of service our regular customers have come to expect, and by charging a small one-time fee we can provide extra features like RVSiteBuilder, Softaculous, WordPress, a full cPanel hosting experience with tutorial videos and all the other features of a business class hosting account at an amazingly low cost.
Essentially, you get 2.5 gigabytes of monthly traffic, 250 megabytes of disk space, and goodies like Softaculous and Fantastico script installers, web and pop email, databases, subdomains and more.
And all you pay for hosting is a dollar a year, plus a one time set up fee of $24. Basically, that dollar is used to cover the expense of fraud prevention services and to ensure there continues to be a real person behind each and every web site and not a spambot.
Here’s the fine print:
TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR THE FREEBOARD WEB HOSTING PLAN, YOUR DOMAIN MUST BE REGISTERED OR TRANSFERRED TO OUR SURFACING.NAME REGISTRATION SERVICE.
Surfacing.Name has been providing domain registration services for 6 years, with .com/.net/.org and other domains for as little as $12.50 or less, and all domains come with FREE private registration (where legal) at no additional cost. Private registration hides the personal information you must provide during the registration process and protects you from spammers, identity thieves and more – most registrars charge an additional $9 or more per year per domain for this service.
Here’s how to order the FreeBoard Web Hosting Plan:
Step 1: To transfer a domain, sign up at Surfacing.Name and click the “Transfer” link – be sure to read the guide!
If you’ve successfully transferred the domain or will be registering a new one, proceed to step 2.
Step 2: Order the FreeBoard Web Hosting Package.
That’s it! So long as your domain is registered at Surfacing.Name, your FreeBoard plan will only cost you a dollar a year.
If you transfer your domain away from us, your FreeBoard hosting account may be suspended and/or deleted without warning, or may be upgraded to different plan for which you will be invoiced
You can use this plan as many times as you like, but remember, 1 domain per account with this package.
