They do suggest you donate some money to the charity they're collecting for, which is worth it for this deal, although it's not compulsory.

actually the web hosting is not worth it. Openshift is free and better.

Can't see anything about storage or bandwidth offered. Unless I am looking at the wrong site (that's the RedHat one right?)

Well indeed, I can only thank you. I've been looking for hosting that does Mongo and NodeJS and I can get a dev environment for free using docker containers on openshift. Amazing what you find using HUKD !!
Oh, and this deal: hot.
Edit:
Now having been through the OpenShift setup, it's quite a faff with some unreliable documention and requirement to install and use old outdated versions of Ruby and GIT and some messing with public/private keys. For beginners I wouldn't recommend OpenShift, LCN would be much more straightforward.
(I am an LCN customer, I still use them for domains and I used their hosting for years too).

I'ts very, very slow and gets overloaded easily. But what do you expect for a penny? :laughing:

What about the email hosting though, is that any good?

Does Openshift allow you to host a website? All it seems to talk about is apps...
1GB Storage per "gear", bandwidth is 'unlimited' in the fact it can handle 5 page requests a second, after that it will take an forever to load the pages until your within the 5/s. Equates to 15K visitors per month, so not bad for free.

I have been with LCN for years, I can't comment on this deal but LCN are very good. You can always get through to a human in the UK.

I'm a professional web/designer by trade, they ran this same deal last year.
It's worth it for maybe hosting a small site or if you've got an extra side project idea. But I wouldn't recommend it for anything major, it's a little slow and no real cPanel access, plus then after the year you will either have to pay the full amount for the next year or have the headache of migrating to a slightly better hosting platform.
I'd recommend TSOHost personally, there's 10% discount codes on Hotukdeals too.

Just be aware that having a 1p debit to your credit card is one sign that someone has scammed your card and is testing to see if it still works. My bank froze my card because of a small transaction like this, which their anti-fraud system detected. I had to phone them, go through a validation & approval process before I could use it again.
