BlueFur Monster Blog Hosting Deal

Build Your Online Business Now

When BlueFur offered to sponsored TTZ Media’s affiliate contest they set up a special hosting deal to go with it. I didn’t pay much attention to the deal until now. Holy Crap! It’s a great deal!

1 Year Blog Hosting for only $10

For those looking for a reason to leave Blogspot.com or any other free hosting service, this plan is for you. For only $10, BlueFur will set you up with your own WordPress blog plus help install any Plugin-ins you need and host it for one full year.

You want to start a blog but web hosts seem to make it so difficult to install the software, make your own theme, add plug-ins and upgrade it without loosing all your posts. These are very legitimate concerns and our managed blog hosting addresses all of them. Our managed blog hosting may cost a bit more then our standard hosting but the ‘services’ you are provided with quickly make it worth it. Right from the start your account will be setup with the latest version of WordPress. We will help you with adding the plug-ins to your blog that you want and co-ordinate with you when new upgrades come out. For new customers that sign-up in December take advantage of our Holiday Managed Blog Hosting Blow-Out.

This deal is limited to the first 200 people who order. After that it goes back to its normal price of $14.95 per month. On top of all this, you will get five entries into the TTZ Media contest. If I didn’t have nine servers with BlueFur, I would order this plan myself! Seriously, if you’re on a free service like Blogspot.com, you need to get off. You will never be a serious money making blog on a free service. You also can’t apply to TTZ Media with a free site.

Because the price is so low, the JohnChowRocks coupon code does not work for this deal. $10 for one full year of blog webhosting. If you can’t make that back in a year, then you should stay on Blogspot!

Was about to buy the plan then decided to check there review on google found http://hostjury.com/reviews/BlueFur
Thanks John! My current host looks better. :wink:

I did a search for all of the customers names that posted those libel statements and none of them appear as customers that have ever had hosting with us.

I am sure that with 6000+ customers were bound to have people that aren't happy.

Here is a list of people that are happy and posted reviews:

Gary,
As the owner & operator of HostJury I find that a tad unbelievable. Based on the whois records a number of them (if not all) have hosted with you in the past.

If you have any discrepancies you would like to discuss please contact me at feedback@hostjury.com

The whois of what domains? Your site does not show any domains. It shows people with Fake names with libel remarks with no ability to reply or remove them if they are not in fact real.

I also don't think you and your site has received favourable reviews:

http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=651...

Not to mention the fact that you own a competitor hosting company who would benefit from unfavourable fake reviews. Why anyone should trust your site is beyond me.

Gary,
I actually have an awful lot more to gain from all of the companies on my site having positive reviews. Affiliate programs pay much more than my own clients do.

The whois 'history' for each of those users' reviews show they're legitimate clients. Sadly, it appears your users (one of which is still hosted with you based on the DNS I see) chose to not display them to the public when posting the reviews.

I'm not asking anyone to trust me, I'm just stating the reviews on that page are legitimate & audited to ensure their legitimacy.

You benefit from having web hosts that pay $100+ affiliate fees per sign-up. If all the other hosts on your sites have negative reviews then of course people will use your positive reviewed affiliate hosts.

Look at your Top 3 US hosts. They all pay very high affiliate fees but have next to no bad reviews. I can do a quick search and find 100's and 100's of bad reviews of those hosts. Mysteriously they are not listed on your site.

I can not trust any review of a person that does not provide proof they were using our service. I notice you also danced around the fact that there is no way to reply or remove any fake reviews.

"I’m not asking anyone to trust me, I’m just stating the reviews on that page are legitimate & audited to ensure their legitimacy."

To know that the are legitimate we would actually have to trust you which your not asking anyone to do (and which I don't).

Great deal indeed :D Thank you BlueFur.com!

Would you recommend I leave Blogspot even if I am only blogging for fun?

If it's only for $10/year, then definitily yeah. Its a very good deal, plus you'll feel cooler with your own domain (I think that has to be purchased separately, but it's still very cheap).

I took the plunge. SavvyFrugality.com was hosted on Blogspot, but I just purchased the $10 deal at BlueFur. It was just too good to pass up. I'm looking forward to making the switch and finally using Word Press for my blog. I got a message that says it take up to 24 hours to get my welcome email, so the only thing to do at this point is wait.

$10 is a great deal, but even $14.95 (normal price) is a good deal for a full year.

How does BlueFur stack up to say ASO?

Well anything else is better than Hostmonster..

This sounds like a very good deal. It makes more sense, long term, to purchase your own hosting accounts versus going through a free service, since it give you more control.

John, i think you ignore my last comment, but thanks for that. BlueFur hosting works, they didn't help me (or they are just slower than GoDaddy and i don't 'wait') but now I am jumping in into Wordpress and i am super excited.

Thanks for the great deal John. You rock!

This blog is a huge success. Keep up the work.

Hi John, what would you possibly do with 9 servers? My assumption is that johnchow just takes one server to run.

One server powers JohnChow.com, eight powers TTZ.

That is indeed a great deal!

The problem with great deals usually is that they always come when you are already on to something else. Till the current period of validity runs out with existing hosts, I am afraid, great deal or not, it will have to wait.

Great deal i have to say. Well, i am too mean to saved my $10 buck for Christmas. Not to good for me these days

Great deal alright, you don{t get much for 10 bucks these days bit this is an exception !

Really good deal, i would recommend everyone this offer too :)

I am sure you will see a ton of conversions on that offer (well, 200 at least). Great price. If you have been thinking about starting your first site I say go for it.

see the bottom of your blog recomended money maker: you are saying " Learn how I went from Zero to over $12,000 a month by blogging" now thats a old story, now you are earning up for US$ 22K per month, ain't you. correct that figure please.

:grin: Wow!, $10 for one year, pretty great deal...

Just some ramblings:
I passed BlueFur's Sales Division as they answer my questions and so i decided to buy one blog hosting plan. Now the painful parts; (1) already paid for the service, and (2) working with the support staffs :lol: .

Anyway, why sales staffs always answer emails (before you decided to pay) faster than support staffs? If sales is done, then that's it, now go work with support staff and they suck. Now if you already pay, then you suck too. Go away, i'm trying to make another sales. That is one hell of cool customer service strategy.

By the way, i'm sorry i forget introducing myself. Thanks John.

I don't believe this, Just two days back I have hosted my new site on another web host.
John couldn't you get this deal 2 days back !!

$10 is a great deal. If only I dont' have a hosting already :)

I never knew the regular price was $14.95 though!!!

Yes I am in...Just bought www.techblissonline.com from godaddy and the hosting services from bluefur...

How many people have joined?

I guess, I am too late. I went to Bluefur's site and tried to get this plan but somewhere in the process of buying it, the site lead me to their other plans. I think they've got their first 200 people already...or???

nope...if u give your domain name,it goes through...

sounds like a great deal, i'm not too happy with my current hosting services.

I've nevery tried BlueFur so I don't know how it works. Anyone has ever used this?

John...You recommended moneymakers list does not show TTZ media at the top(as one would expect) and is only listed op top of "More moneymakers" list... :)

How's Blue Fur's uptime....many providers guarantee 99% uptime but rarely deliver :???:

Johnchow.com is up quite a bit!

Wow that's a pretty good deal...oh well I've already got a good thing going with my current host provider though

I will have to jump into it i guess...

That's a pretty sweet deal!

I would join this deal, but for free hosting...there's one hosting company that is giving 6 months of free hosting :). Of course I'm not going to post it here and ruin BlueFur.

-Mike

I'm using BlueFur hosting. :mrgreen:

is a wp theme included in the deal? just wondering, as there is no mention. its a great deal, no less. :shock:

We will install a free theme for you if wish.

The Basic Blog does not come with a custom theme.

JohnChowRocks worked for me when I placed my order in this morning.

That is an incredible deal! If I didn't have my blogs hosted with Dreamhost (they suck) I'd jump on it.
