Black Friday Weekend Deals and Holiday Gift Ideas

There are some terrific deals this weekend on several products I highly recommend (I use them myself). It’s a good time to snap up some savings and/or consider what might be a good gift for others on your list. And you don’t need to leave the house to do your shopping!gift box

WEB HOSTING

Blue Host* is who I use to host all my websites. Great 24/7 real person phone support; they can walk you through setting up or transferring your website. This would also be a great gift for someone you know who is starting a business. Doesn’t matter if you (or they) are not quite ready, because you save so much on this deal, it’s worth locking it in. Nothing to risk, because they offer an anytime money-back guarantee.

$3.49/mo  through Monday.

    • unlimited domain hosting (that means you can have as many websites as you want – great if you want separate domains for different promotions or just have more than one domain name.)
    • unlimited hosting space
    • unlimited file transfer
    • unlimited email accounts
    • supports FTP, CGI, Ruby, SSL, PHP, MySQL
