AskMeCha: Web Hosting Um... Is it a bad idea to buy webhosting off eBay? $8.95/yr fits my budget perfectly...

You can use the promo code "777" with Dreamhost and get 20 GB of storage, 1 TB of bandwidth for ~$9.20 for the year.

Thanks, Alex. Buying hosting off eBay just seems somehow like buying it at a garage sale. Scary.

As long as Dreamhost doesn't raise its prices after the first year and automatically bill your CC card, don'tchaknow. Then again, I'm sure the eBay hosting would expire and go up in price after year one as well, and that's probably the whole ploy.

Does the 777 code still work for Dreamhost? A bit of googling suggests it expired a while ago.
