Fatcow Hosting Promo Codes: Getting Started

Fatcow Hosting

My New Web Host

So after having my websites hosted by Godaddy for the past few years, I finally made the big leap to a new host. While searching around I considered a few web hosts: Hostgator, Dreamhost, Bluehost. But when taking the webhost's reputation into consideration, as well as what is included in the price, I eventually went for Fatcow.

Latest Fatcow Web Hosting Promotion: $3.15/month This Weekend Only!  
Right now Fatcow is offering their web hosting for $3.15 per month. That is more than 60% off. You can try it combined with the promo codes I included below. Hopefully you can combine then to get a sweet web hosting deal. Heck, it never hurts to try! Click on one of the links below and it will take you to Fatcow to enter the code.

The Latest Fatcow Promo Codes:

  • moopon - This code gets you 50% off your hosting package as well as one free domain name.
  • DREAMS - 75% off your hosting package!
  • nc - 48% off your hosting package and a free domain name.
  • BLUEMOON - get a one year free domain name registration.

About Fatcow:

Fatcow has actually been around since 1998, which by internet standards is geologically ancient. It has undergone a series of reinventions throughout the years, leading to a new surge in popularity starting in 2008. It's now one of the world's fastest growing hosting companies and shows no signs of slowing down.
Originally started in the U.K., it now has servers and tech support in the U.S. and Australia as well.

Signing Up:

Signing up with Fatcow was easy enough (funny how all hosting companies make it real easy for you to give them money!) I used a Fatcow Coupon Code as well as accidentally ending up with Fatcow cutting my price down by 30%. I didn't have my credit card on me, so I clicked 'back' to sign up later. Then a pop up window with Fatcow's 'final offer' popped up: $2.50/month (instead of $3.95). I was like: sweet! Don't mind if I do!

Using Fatcow

So far transferring my domains from GoDaddy to Fatcow has been easy. I just tell them that I want to switch it and with one click it happens. I started a new site, and I was able to register the domain, add the domain to my server and install wordpress in under 5 minutes. With Godaddy there was always waiting periods of up to a few hours between each of those steps...which blows if you're really excited about something!

Next Comes the Hard Part

So far I haven't had any complaints with Fatcow, as everything has worked like a breeze. They have guaranteed United States tech support, which is important for since I'm not great at understanding accents (I think I'm tone deaf). They also promise to answer your call in under 1 minute, which like I said I haven't tested, but sounds very promising for when I'm in a bind. The biggest problems always seem to happen at inconvenient times.
