A major obstacle newcomers face when starting an online business is the initial capital. Even though it’s pretty less comparing to a brick and mortar business, people still hesitate since the outcome is not so obvious. So, if the initial capital is low, you can start your endeavors without a big stress. One basic fee you have to afford is web hosting fee. Usual rate of a full featured web hosing account is always around $100 per year.

Now you can reduce it up to $22.4. A leader in web hosting, DreamHost offers a rewards program where its participants can issue coupon codes to their associates. The maximum coupon is $97 and its annual fee is $119.4. So, by using a $97 coupon code, you can make it just $22.4. I have prepared a $97 coupon for you. Use HBP97 when sign up and enjoy the benefits. Remember this offer is valid only for first year and you will have to pay the regular fee thereafter.

Rather than a marketing gimmick, I do offer this as a way of paying it forward. I enjoyed it and it broke a big obstacle I faced. Now I invite you to break the obstacle and to start your dream business.
