Whenever we are asked about hosting, we recommend Bluehost.
In fact, we believe in them so much that we are offering a one-time $30 rebate on a ProPhoto theme purchase to anyone who signs up for a new Bluehost.com webhosting account through our website. Read on to get details about the rebate, and to find out why we recommend Bluehost.
How to get the rebate
1. Sign up for a new Bluehost.com webhosting account by clicking HERE. When you click through this link, you will see this popup on Bluehost’s site stating that you are verified for your rebate:
If you don’t see this message when signing up, come back to our site and click on one of our Bluehost links again.
Signing up is incredibly easy to do, click here to watch a short video.
2. Then, purchase ProPhoto and install WordPress and ProPhoto on your new Bluehost-hosted website (which will be dead-simple thanks to their one-click WordPress auto-installer), and then complete the ProPhoto registration form, making sure to check the rebate box.
3. When we receive notification of your successful registration, we will confirm your Bluehost.com signup, and issue a $30 partial-refund to you against your ProPhoto purchase within 10 days. We’ll even send you an email when we complete the refund.
Why do we want you to use Bluehost?
Bluehost is one of the top recommended webhosts of WordPress.org - Bluehost has achieved this ranking by working closely with the WordPress team to ensure that their hosting package is perfectly optimized for running the world’s #1 blogging platform, WordPress. This means no conflicts between WordPress and your blog’s server, shielding you (and us) from the technical frustrations experienced by some users on webhosts that are not as WordPress friendly.
The best WordPress automatic installer - Bluehost offers an automatic WordPress installer in their Cpanel that makes installing WordPress and ProPhoto a snap.
Bluehost’s security and backup features - Getting your blog hacked is no fun, and WordPress’ popularity has made it a target of hackers around the world. Bluehost implements many security measures on their servers to protect you from people with bad intentions. We’ve also seen users tragically lose years of blog posts because of hacking or user error. While their blog could have been restored from a backup, many didn’t have a backup because they didn’t know how. Bluehost’s simple Cpanel interface allows users to easily backup all of their blog files and database entries with a few button clicks.
Bluehost’s top-notch customer service - If something ever does go wrong with your hosting, you want to know that you can get help. Bluehost has a phenomenal customer support team that is accessible, knowledgable, and well… supportive.
As we realized how beneficial it was for our customers (and for us in supporting our customers) to use Bluehost for hosting, we contacted Bluehost and asked them to give us incentive ($) for our customers to use them for hosting. With our new partnership, they pay us a referral fee when you sign up through us, so that we can pass savings on to you. We think this will make everyone happy :)
Some Restrictions Apply
There’s always a catch, right? Well, in this case, just two minor points:
First, this only applies for new hosting signups. If you signed up for Bluehost through our site last month or last year, unfortunately we’re not able to retroactively apply this rebate.
Second, your Bluehost signup must be within 45 days of your ProPhoto purchase and you must install ProPhoto and register it within 45 days to receive the rebate. This is not because we’re stingy, it’s because our Payment Processor doesn’t let us do partial refunds after this much time has elapsed.
