UPDATE: This sale was so popular that it has been extended by one day for TODAY 8/17! Don’t miss the second chance to this popular sale.
Have you been wanting to start a website or a blog? If the answer is “yes,” then today is your day to start because there is a one-day hosting sale today only!
Now although the sale is for one day only, you’ll get an entire year of hosting for a price of only $35.40 with a FREE domain name. That makes it only $2.95 per month!
We run most of our blogs from this host (did you know we have several, not just The Thrifty Couple) because it is a super affordable way to start.
This is for basic hosting on a shared server, which is perfect for a blog or website just starting out or that doesn’t yet have a huge amount of traffic.
When it comes to starting a website or a blog, you can do it for the cost of nearly nothing – the only thing you need to pay for starting out is a domain name and hosting. Since this will be covered for the whole year for $35.40, then you will be in great shape to start off. After the 1-year, hosting is $7.99 a month or more depending on how quickly your site grew over that year.
This is one of the main reasons why we would encourage anyone and everyone to start a website or a blog in this day and age. The cost to start is of minimal investment for a business, but has a great return and proven track record.
Blogging is an incredible way to earn extra income. We’ve shared a little of our journey in this post here about how I bring home $3,500 a month as a stay-at-home mom, much of which comes from my efforts in blogging.
Read how I bring in $3,500 as a stay-at-home mom!
And not only the perfect outlet for stay-at-home moms, but for small businesses or moms or self employed that offer other products or services and want to showcase them via a website to reach more people. The sky is the limit!
We have a growing series on how to get started with your blog or website in 15 minutes or less (including Alex sharing the exact steps to get you started on our youtube channel). This should give you all that you need to get started and set-up in 15 minutes and start writing your posts or to set-up your business online to showcase your product or service.
But before you can get your website set-up, you need to get your domain name and website host. If you already have a domain name, no worries, you can still get the hosting deal.
Here’s how to get the $2.95 monthly hosting and free domain name:
- Step 1: get the $2.95 monthly price through this link HERE
- Step 2: click on the ‘get started now’ button.
- Step 3: Then select the basic plan (this is all you need right now, you can upgrade when you need to).
- Step 4: Enter your domain name and your domain name is free!
- If you already have purchased a domain name separately, just enter your current domain instead.
- Step 5: Complete the checkout process and finish payment information. Please note: you don’t need anything extra at this point – just the $35.40 for the year. The only reason why you would is if you have a current site and you want to move it to a more affordable host like bluehost. But you would know what you need. If you are starting out, just do the basics!
Once this is done – you are nearly ready to start! You just have to get the website up. But DON’T worry, it’s super easy and anyone can do it.
Alex even quickly filmed this video to walk you through the easy process.

There is an opinion that it is difficult and expensive to transfer a business online. But after all, using modern tools, you can do the site yourself, I read a useful article about this from blueskyfunnel

Thanks for the offer for hosting, I’m just now planning to create a new online store. I already read in the article https://www.trustshoring.com/blog/hire-developers-in-eastern-europe-for-startup/ how to find and hire the right developers

I also often look for deals that can help me save on web hosting for my new projects. I recently saw a promotion on Kamatera services, and then I read Kamatera reviews to see if they are right for me.
