Note: This discount code is not an affiliate program link! Your instructor just negotiated with the hosting company to provide as good as possible student discount, about 75% off. I have hosted with them for other projects for several years after trying many different hosts and I found them to be the best. They also have live human being phone support which is rare for shared hosting. Sometimes when you see people on the Web recommending “top 10” hosting companies, they are actually promoting their affiliate links and their top 10 commissions!

Step 7: The price will then be adjusted. Note: the discount onlyapplies to the hosting, not the domain name. Click the Continue button

It will show you other possible domain names but ifthe domain you want is available, you can ignore these suggestions. Clickon the Order Now button.
