Hello,
Sometimes (EIG Group Companies) like Netfirms offer $1 a year Hosting. Its not available yet.
I have found a way to get a year of Linux Shared Web Hosting for only $1. This is the Plus package of their lineup.
The only difference is that is limit that you can create only 5 MySQL databases. Everything is unlimited as they mentioned.
First: step is to sign up for domain parking account using this link
https://www2.netfirms.com/register/registration.bml
and select "I plan to use a domain I already own" and add any of your domain. Its free. (uncheck every add-on after adding billing information).
Second: after creating domain parking account, use this link
http://www2.netfirms.com/netfirms/special-offer.bml?page=dp-up-usd
to get you $1 a year web hosting. Click on "Upgrade Now" button and pay $1.
On above page it is written that "Sale Ends April 30". Don't worry it still works and you have the option to cancel it anytime.
This is very good Shared Web Hosting for testing purpose and running small websites.
Enjoy !
