We would like to announce the purchase of DKB Company (http://www.dkbhosting.com) today. DKBHosting utlizes the same control panel as ValuableHost.com (Plesk 2.01), and offers different packages than ValuableHost (http://www.valuablehost.com) and is excited about offering the additional services of DKBHosting.com. One area that we are particularly excited about is the addition of technology that DKBHosting has developed, this will allow us to offer new and better services to our existing customers and new customers.

To celebrate all of this we are going to have a 24 hour sale. Yes only 24 hours. Starting Thursday, February 21st, 2002 at 12:00 Noon EST to Friday, February 22nd, 2002 at 12:00 Noon EST we will discount all services by 50%.

For example if you sign up for one month we will give you one month free. If you register a domain name for one year, we will give it to you for two. If you prepay for one year of service, we will give you a second one for free. These prices are for one invoice only.

We would like to thank everyone for being awesome customers, please share the word about our awesome service.

Thanks, Rik

It seems more like a bogo, not a 50% off.

To me, 50% is something like: the original price is $10, and I signed up and I pay $5, as long as I stay with you.

For your description, it's more like if I pay $10 this month, I get the next month free. What about the following month?

Yes ebird seems to be right; technically you are not offering 50% off of your plan. You are offering 50% off of two months of your plan...And as I understand it, after the second month you get nothing else free?

(Just making sure I understand it properly)

Yes 50% of the initial invoice. However if they sign up for one year they get two years free. Still is a pretty darn good deal, a sale doesn't have to last the rest of your life. I don't know of any service provider that will do something like that.
