Hosting your ecard site - which web hosting company to choose?

That's a difficult question, yet vitally important to the success of your business (and yes, your e-card site can earn you lots of money). As the author of the sendcard ecard system I have tried many providers and have finally found one I can recommend: Dreamhost.

sendcard is both developed and hosted at Dreamhost. Some of the largest ecard sites using sendcard are hosted with Dreamhost. Why would that be?

A popular postcard site eats a lot of bandwidth. When I first came across Dreamhost I thought they must be too good to be true. Here was a hosting company offering 20GB/month free bandwidth on their basic hosting plan!. That's enough for... well the mind boggles - millions of ecards a week.

Now, over 10 months later, I have no regrets. Dreamhost offer the most flexibility of any hosting company at a fraction of the cost of a dedicated server. I've found them to be more reliable than my previous hosting company (Fluid Hosting). Plus, being able to host unlimited sites at no extra charge allows me to experiment with new ideas that might make some money - and to host sites for friends.

Another special feature they offer is free access to daily and weekly backups - so the next time you overwrite your hard work by mistake you can get it back without calling tech support.

Because sendcard is developed and tested on Dreamhost web hosting, you know sendcard will work. No longer will you get half-way through the installation and discover that your hosting company doesn't support one of the necessary features...

Dreamhost offer a 97-day money-back guarantee, so if you change your mind or decide you don't want a website, you can cancel and get all your money back.

And now for the best bit...

As a sendcard user (or potential sendcard user - don't worry, I'm not going to be mean and stop you) I have negotiated a special deal with Dreamhost. If you use the promo code SENDCARD20 you will get a $20 discount off any hosting plan paid yearly or two-yearly.

GO AND USE IT!!!

Don't sit and wonder what's the best hosting for e-cards - you've found it now :)
