Reclaim No Ka ‘Oi!

Aloha!

I started using Reclaim Hosting last year for my personal sites. And I referred students to it in my content strategy and management and capstone courses.

$30 per year gets a student one year of web hosting (and a free domain name when they sign up) for as long as they’re in school. When they turn “pro” the price goes up to…wait for it…$45 a year!!! (My Dreamhost early adopter everything web hosting deal is $141 a year.)

Reclaim is a hosting service targeted at students and faculty looking for inexpensive web hosting with all the bells and whistles. They have every web hosting feature you’d expect from the standard cPanel interface to Installatron installs for WordPress and many other apps.

I give it five stars! An A+! Two thumbs up!

Sign up for Reclaim Hosting and help a poor, semi-impoverished college professor.

Mahalo!

(No Ka ‘Oi! = “The best” in Hawaiian)
