    Web hosting with marketing credits?

    Hello,

    I'm looking for some hosting with marketing credits where I could buy a hosting for $7 or so and get in return $50 Facebook ads, $100 Google Adwords..etc?

    What is the best option for that?

    BTW: I'm not looking to use the hosting, only to get the coupons!

    Thanks!

    These providers offer what you are looking for:

    BlueHost
    HostGator
    FatCow
    HostMonster
    iPage

    Yes, there's something common between all of them but since you do not need the hosting anyways, that would not have an effect on you.

    Just be aware that certainly Google, and I suspect the other advertising companies, only let you use such a coupon if you're a genuinely new customer to them. So if you've ever used Adwords before, you can't then sign up with one of the hosts just listed, get a promotional code, and apply it to your account. (You could, of course, open a second account with Google to do that, but you will know that people try that ruse in the hosting world as well and usually get bitten in the end).

    I believe you wouldn't find such deal.

    AFAIK Google (and Bing) recently changed their policy where you will need to spend at least X amount (usually around $25) before you can use the credit that they offer.

    Those are the offers they mail out, but maybe some other providers have coupons with no spend necessary.

    If someone wants to pay the going rate to a hosting company in return for a hosting package and some coupons for third-party advertising networks, does it matter if they don't actually use the hosting part but only use the coupons?

    If you want adwords coupon only. You can get it for free. Searh on google or direct contact to google adwords, they offer upto $100 coupon for their new customers timely.

    If someone is going to subscribe a hosting plan just to claim the vouchers it also means they wont pay for more than one month. So at the very least, this person is cheating the system.

    Now, if someone is going to run thru a list of Web Hosting companies with the same trick (rinse and repeat) then it´s scam at heart.

    I could easily imagine this "someone" using a discount voucher for their hosting subscription (those 1cent for the 1st month sound great), claim the vouchers and them unsubscribe the host... because.. they dont need the hosting for nothing else than claiming the vouchers.. why keep paying right?.. this 1cent wont even cover the flat fee of the payment processor.

    How about now?

    Presumably, when hosting companies offer coupons like that, they have to work out the cost to them. They treat them as a marketing-budget spend. They then have to work out which of their plans will qualify for the free coupons, and on what billing cycles. They may allow these on some plans that would barely cover their costs - it's up to them - but if they do their balancing the probabilities to decide it's worth it on average.

    After they've done those sums, along comes a customer. If the company offers a free adwords coupon for someone only paying one month, the customer is entitled to pay just one month and have the coupon. The hosting company decided that was worth it on a cost-benefit basis, so they then have to accept the trade. Nobody is scamming anyone. In practice, most require a longer sign-up for that.

    Such a person would be scamming Google if they were to do this with multiple hosts, as Google say this is for new custom only. That would be wrong, but nothing in the OP has indicated this is their intention. Indeed, if it were, bad more: Google has probably the best heuristics out there for abusers, so the person involved would get caught, be banned from their ad network, and probably demoted on the search engine as well.

    I think you need to reread the OP post.
    He was pretty clear about his intentions.

    I understand what you are saying, but personally i think you are wrong. Companies offer vouchers/discounts/gifts to encourage loyalty, this process doesn't always work and there are always some customers that will cheat the system, which in most cases means the company will take a loss in that business deal. But even if the company doesn't take a loss, it's still a customer cheating the system.
    In this case i doubt that the EIG (that offers vouchers on every plan) will take a loss because those vouchers for ad networks are most probably given freely by google and so on but again it doesn't change customer intent.

    I see what you mean. I'll pay for the hosting and everything, but I don't need it. I just need the vouchers

    So basically I'm helping the company not scamming it as they get the vouchers for free!
