Reader Offer :: Save On Hosting With BlueFur.com

When the plan was in motion to create and launch this blog, I was considering a new hosting provider and received a recommendation from a few people to give BlueFur.com a try for my hosting needs. The experience thus far has been fantastic and I cannot say enough good things about the people at BlueFur.

The other day I had shared one way to save money with your hosting provider and now I have another way for you to save!

Being so pleased with their hosting plan and their customer service, I decided to sign up for their affiliate program. As an affiliate I have the opportunity to offer you a 10% discount off the cost of your hosting plan. If you couple the discount with their already low prices and their discount for prepaying on the one or two year plan, you stand to save a nice amount of money.

Simply use the coupon code DerekSemmlerDotCom - it is case sensitive - at the time of purchase to receive the additional discount.

As a means of full disclosure, I do have to tell you that I stand to benefit as well when you use this coupon code. Their standard affiliate program provides their affiliates with 20% of every sale but I opted for the program that gives me 10% of the sale in turn for being able to offer all of you a 10% discount as well.

I’ve been a customer for nearly a year now and have not once been disappointed with the performance or the service that has been provided. The hosting plan that I have laughed in the face of a front page digg - which is no small feat for any hosting plan let alone one that costs only a few dollars per month.

In addition, I know that their support team is there should I need to call and the email response times have been great the few times that I have had a question.

If you have any questions about BlueFur hosting, feel free to shoot me an email or leave a comment here and I will answer based on my experience.

Thanks for the post, I’m going to share this with my sister who just started a blog. She’ll need a webhost soon.

I have never heard of BluFur before! It sounds like it is worth looking into. What specifically makes it so different? I would like to read a full review from you, that would be really cool.

@Matt :: Not a problem.

@Jed :: To answer your initial question, I think what separates BlueFur apart from the other hosts that I have used is the level of quality (both performance and customer service) that you receive for a very affordable price. A full review sounds like a good idea and I will certainly add it to my list of posts. Is there anything specific that you would like to see covered in a review?

Thanks for the info; I’m starting a website for a small sandwich shop, and was looking for a decent inexpensive host.

I was with Bluefur for a number of years. I had some issues that they failed to resolve. When I complained my services were terminated.

Sorry to hear that as the people and service at BlueFur have been outstanding for me. What were the issues that you were having?

Domain renewals were the issue that started most of my problems with Bluefur. Since I have a number of domains, my own and for my clients their billing methods came into question. None of the receipts indicated which domain was being billed.

What occured was a few of my domains were not renewed as expected and when I asked than asked for an audit of my account, that was ignored. one domain was not only not renewed I was required to pay a redemption fee o get the domain back. I decided I would rather take my account elsewhere, I notified Bluefur and asked till what date are my services paid to and I will be cancelling my account. The next day my services were terminated and no one from Bluefur would explain why.

The issue with Mr. Jones has escallated since the termination of my account, and is now being litigated.
