I know this looks like a big fat advert in the middle of my blog….and it is….sort of. I don’t get any money if you click on it though, it’s there to show what I think is a killer offer for UK students. For only £1 per month, any student in the UK can now get a free domain and web hosting that would normally cost £4.99 a month….these pesky kids eh ;)

Anyway, Microsoft here in the UK have partnered with Webfusion (under their 123-reg brand) to launch a hosting package for students. All that’s needed is an ac.uk email address plus there is a link to our DreamSpark program to provide access to the Microsoft dev tools and the Web Platform Installer.

As offers go, this seems pretty damn good to me. A tonne of stuff, all for a quid per month.
