Powweb Offer Discount

Now, I don't usually use my blog for advertising, but I think this cause worthy.

My web hosters (Powweb) are currently offering a discount on a 1 year plan ($5.77/month), then a further $10 off through affiliates!

The Powweb Plan includes 300GB of space (not all of which has to be available through HTTP, so you could use it to backup your computer's files, for example), 3TB/month bandwidth, 75 MySQL databases, scripting, and all sorts.

I am now very happy with my plan, and Powweb are creating more and more stuff I can use for free.

Since I first registered, my storage space has increased 300 fold, and my bandwidth 3000 fold.
