yeah, thats what I do!!!
Update: I guess the below offer has ended. You can use my code isb8 to get $50 off on your hosting at DreamHost.
Alternatively, you can go to this link to GET $50 OFF on hosting + 1 free Domain Name !! This is the maximum discount you can get on hosting right now and you also get 500GB of disk space! Arguably, one of the cheapest hosting plans. Has easy one click wordpress set up option thus making it one of the preferred host for WordPress Hosting.
I came across this cool offer from DreamHost which was mentioned by QuickOnlineTips that gave away 2 year hosting at 95% off !
The offer ends on 4th of January 2009 , just a few hours more to go. So I suggest you try this at the earliest.
A lot of my friends could make use of this killer offer but some were not able to.
Every time the promo code 202 was used, DreamHost gave an error saying
Promo Code Error: Promo Code Invalid for your Region.
If you happen to face this problem, then try accessing DreamHost using the proxy 200.66.97.6 and port 8080 .
Please note this method might prove to be unsafe for making transactions using your credit cards. So do it with caution and if there’s no other option available.
To set the proxy in your browser do the following :
(might be the same for Internet Explorer 6)
Your proxy is now set. Open a new tab and go to DreamHost Signup ,
Select Domain Hosting
Select 2 Year Plan and enter the promo code 202 .
I hope you people are able to make use of this amazing offer from DreamHost.

Using proxy for doing financial transaction. Is it safe?
Some of the data you send can inadvertently go into proxy logs which might get archived. Risky. Or at least that is my understanding.

Yeah thats a risk you will have to take if nothing works. But the data would be encrypted right? Does it help? I’m not sure.

Even I am not sure about the security of using our credit card on any proxy…

@Pavan
I agree there is a risk of compromising your card data in case you use proxies for https.
I guess i should caution people before they use proxies for https. I’ll update the blog post

The code does not work any more buddy. It was for a limited period only.
You can use isb8 to get $50 off. This works everywhere.
If you are planning to buy dreamhost for 5 years then get in touch with me and I can get you $150 off + 4 times the space that you would normally get

Those are new working web proxy servers. They should go passed the filters. I checked all of them and they are fast and reliable. The complete list of them is here: http://anonymouslist.net
