Ah, the usual “This place is terrible – so let’s say it’s great for a first time buyer!” deal.

I dunno… has that VW microbus moved in the last 20 years? Pretty creepy. I’d be a bit concerned about entering…

Can’t afford a 1 bedroom condo home in San Jose?

Well, worry not – you can afford a great web home!

Let me introduce you to Dreamhost – the hosting provider that Burbed.com uses.
For just $119.40 a year (or $190.80 for 2 years – a 20% savings!) you get 200GB of disk space, 2TB of bandwidth, and one free domain name registration.

Yep… 200GB – not 200MB. It’s like having a McMansion in Oregon, for the price of a mobile home in Sunnyvale. And like the Winchester Mysterious Mansion, your space and bandwidth will automatically grow each week.
And, if you click this link and enter “burbed” as the promo code, you get $10 off. Click and check out the amazing features you get at these low prices.
