Emergency Maintenance – Back Up Drive Replacement on Chocolate – completed

January 11, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Attention Clients,

Please be advised that we will be performing an emergency maintenance tonight on one of our shared servers. Please read the details below. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Server Affected: Chocolate
Time: 9:00pm EST
Reason: Replace backup drive.
Estimated Downtime: 5-10 minutes (High latency may be experienced for a short while when the server gets back online)

We do apologize for the short notice, however, it is imperative that we replace the backup drive within Chocolate as soon as possible so as to not disrupt complete and usable backups.

Please plan accordingly.

 UPDATE 10:07pm EST:

The backup drive has been successfully replaced and the server is now online. The load has returned to normal and all sites should now be resolving without error. Backups will continue to run nightly on Chocolate, as well as all servers here at Twenty70.

This giveaway has been extended to 2/15/12

Happy New Year and Happy Saturday.

As most of you know, BlissDom 2012 is RIGHT around the corner on February 23-25 in Nashville. Unfortunately because my holidays were extremely busy this year and a trip to the ER the day after Christmas with a 103.7 fever, I didn’t have time to plan and launch a full sponsorship giveaway for BlissDom ’12. However, I really want to do something for BlissDom ’12 attendees and I know it’s not much but hey, winning $100 is $100 more than you had. #BrightSide. (Yes, I hash my posts… don’t judge. ;-) )

i.am.blogger – It’s back for a limited time!

January 1, 2012 By 8 Comments

Promotion Ends 2/29/2012

You asked, we listened! The i.am.blogger $5/month hosting special is BACK! We thought “What better time to offer discounted hosting than right after you spent a lot of cash on clothes, toys, electronics and other must-haves during the holiday season?!” Start 2012 SAVING money! Transfer your WordPress blog to Twenty70 Hosting.

Now, I know what you’re thinking. As with most low-cost website hosting companies, they advertise a low monthly price but it’s with a multi-year contract. We’re not most companies! This is truly $5 per month, no contract, no strings. Furthermore, you’ll never have to pay for a domain name again because a free domain name is included with i.am.blogger. As long as you host with Twenty70, your domain name is on us.

The i.am.blogger package includes everything you need for your WordPress blog.

i.am.blogger:

  • Unmetered Diskspace
  • Unmetered Bandwidth
  • Unlimited @yourdomain.com e-mail addresses
  • WordPress Installation Assistance
  • WordPress Transfer Assistance
  • Free Domain Name as long as you host with Twenty70

ORDER HERE

Exciting, huh? We’ve also decided we’re also going to give a little somethin’ somethin’ as a THANK YOU to those who refer and spread the word about i.am.blogger.

If you’re a client: For every client you refer to Twenty70, we’ll credit your account $5.00, essentially giving you a free month of hosting. There is no limit! Refer 12 people, you’ve got the year FREE! OR you can choose to put that $5.00 towards a giftcard of your choice! #WIN

Not A Client?: Yes, even non-clients can benefit from i.am.blogger! For every client you refer to Twenty70, you will receive $5.00 towards a giftcard of your choice.

Please feel free to tweet, facebook, or blog about i.am.blogger! We’ve also made up a nice little promotion badge for you to include in your blog post, sidebar, or facebook page.

What are you waiting for? This promotion won’t last long so go take advantage of never having to pay for a domain name again!

Purchase i.am.blogger!

i.am.blogger fine print:

i.am.blogger applicable to NEW blogs only. Current clients cannot purchase the i.am.blogger promotional package and transfer an already Twenty70 hosted blog to it. Sorry. :-(

Your domain name will be free as long as you host with Twenty70, if you transfer away from Twenty70 within 9 months of domain purchase/renewal, you will be responsible for the $12.99 purchase price. (I hate to add this but it has been taken advantage of in the past. Fail, right?)

One domain per package, there is no limit to number of packages that can be purchased.
