Stone has made yet another change to the Plug-In Profit site!
He has added
Hostgator as an option for web hosting.
Personally, I think this is a great decision. A lot of people are on a tight budget, especially in today's economy and can't afford the $24.95 per month that Host4profit charge. I have hosted 5 of my websites with Hostgator for a few years now and have been very happy with them.
Hostgator provides hosting for $8.95 per month if you sign up for their "Hatchling" plan and this can go down to as little as $4.95 per month if you choose to pay for multiple months in advance.
I think that this will help to improve the conversion rate (signup rate) of the Plug-In Profit site, so hopefully this will be good news for all of us.
Here's what you need to do asap:(1) Join the Hostgator affiliate program. This affiliate program is free to join and you can sign up here. It pays a one time $50-$125 commission per sale:
HostGator Affiliate Signup(2) Login to the
Plug-In Profit Site affiliate center and click on the "account" button on the top left of the page. You can then enter your HostGator affiliate ID. This will update your sales page.
I personally like Host4Profit and their excellent support, but a few people have asked me about moving their website to HostGator to save some money. If you are on a tight budget, you may benefit from using Hostgator rather than Host4Profit as you will save more than $15 per month.
If you are thinking of doing this, beware... you need to know the following:
- Changing hosts involves pointing your domain name to the new name servers and also transferring all your files to the new web host.
- If you have a Wordpress blog or any applications that use a database then you will also need to reinstall these applications and back up your database and reinstate it on the new host.
- If you have been a member of Host4Profit for less than 3 months you will not be able to continue as a member of the affiliate program
If moving hosts to save money is something that you want to do, just send me an email with your domain name (URL) and I can give you some advice on this.
