Student Gigabucks Hosting Plans
Who is eligible?
All high school, home school and college web development students. For eligibility confirmation, you must submit a copy of your most recent course schedule via fax (888-469-7768) or email (sales@hostingspot.net) to Hosting Spot within 7 days of account activation. The name on your schedule must be the same as the name listed on your Hosting Spot account.
What features will I get?
100MB of disk space for just 3 bucks per month. We have also waived the setup fee. We offer two versions: Windows & Unix. You'll receive ASP, ASP.NET, PHP, MS SQL, MySQL, ODBC, and many other popular features. Plans also support sites created with Dreamweaver, Flash, GoLive, Visual Studio, and others. Since students do not need as much disk space and bandwidth as our business customers.
What will be the address for my account?
For just $25 (annual domain registration fee), register your own domain name when you sign up. You can also transfer a domain name that you already own for no charge.
Will there be advertisements on my site?
With other discounted web hosts, your site is plagued with advertisements and pop-up windows. Not at HostingSpot.com - your site is your site.
How can you possibly offer this great deal?
With this offer, we're investing in your future - and ours. We want to be "Your One-Stop Web Hosting Spot" for a long time after you complete your education.
How do you know if you want Windows or Unix?
It is actually pretty simple.
If you know you are ONLY going to be using .php: choose Unix.
If you want to option to use .aspx, .asp or .php: choose Windows.
