Happy Halloween!

It’s trick-or-treat time, and we’ve got a treat for you (and you didn’t even have to dress up and knock on our door!).

We’re officially announcing the Geek Niche Referral Program.

The way it works is this:

If you refer someone to us, and they sign up, they just need to drop me an e-mail saying “I was referred by “. After they’ve been with us for 3 months, we’ll apply 10% of their monthly fee towards your account for as long as they’re with us.

There are a couple disclaimers and limits: This is a trial program to see if we want to advance into a full-fledged affiliate program, so we reserve the right to tweak things a bit in order to make things work smoothly. We will, however, inform you in advance if there are any major changes.

The 2nd limit is that this is a “discount” program, not a “cash back” program. What that boils down to is: you can’t get more credit per month than the cost of your hosting.

If you have any questions, drop me a line.

This is the subject line of a spam I just recieved: “Re: Substantial updates for geekniche.com end users”

Wow! I’d better check that out!

Oh…. wait…. I’m not an “end user”. I’m the owner!

Heh heh… sometimes even spam can make me laugh.

Yeah.. I know… I’m late. But I have an excuse! Nothing important has happened!

Okay… so it’s a lame excuse. But it’s the truth. We’re humming along just fine. While we haven’t had any major breakthroughs in the last month, we also haven’t had any major breakdowns. And that’s the way it should be–at least that second part.

A tip for the paranoid: Plesk has a “backup” feature that allows you to backup your site at any point. If you’ve just done some major changes, you may want to go into Plesk and activate the backup just to make sure that everything you just did gets saved.

I’ll be back next month with even more of this excitement. Until then, happy surfing!
