Feel like doing something heroic today?

Introduce your family, friends, readers to the one and only WordPress Web Hosting company in the world. Liberate them from the tyrant of other hosting companies that don’t care about their WordPress-powered sites.

Be a WP Hero.

What is WP Hero?

WP Hero is the name of WP WebHost affiliate program. It is our way of recognize our affiliates as a hero, for helping the others to host with the true WordPress hosting company that cares for them.

How does it work?

We pay $35 per referred customers from you. If you refer more than (or equal) 10 customers per month, we pay $50 per referred customers. If you add that up, that’s $500 per month!

That’s not all. If your referred customers became a WP Hero too (read: signed up as affiliate), you will get $10 for every customers they referred.

Not a bad deal, don’t you think?

Customized Coupon Code

The WP WebHost team wants to help our heroes to suceed too. For that, we can generate a different, customized discount coupon code for you. To get the coupon code, simply contact our sales team at sales@wpwebhost.com and ask for it. Ask and thou shalt receive.

$10 Signup Bonus now

The best time to become a WP Hero is today. If you sign up now, you’ll instantly entitled a $10 sign up bonus in your affiliate account.

So, what are you waiting for?

We have upgraded our website (made it before 2009, yay!) to a new interface and design. Instead of the previous sales-letter style of presentation, we are now going for a more traditional approach of web design.

WP Freedom Blog + WP WebHost = WP WebHost 2.0

You might be wondering where did our blog go? Well, we’ve integrated it under our main page. Now you can directly see the blog updates through our homepage.

New Section: Customer Listing

We are proud of the customers we host. So, we handpicked a few customers and made a page specially about them. If you host with us and wanted to get yourself listed there, just ask.

“Best of WordPress” Blogroll

If you look at the bottom of our sidebar, you’ll notice a blogroll titled “Best of WordPress”. Yes, we’ve listed every single WordPress ninjas, masters, gurus, sifus and rockstars there. It only shows five at a time, and rotate randomly.

Affiliate Program quietly sneaks in

Surprisingly, even before we announce it, there are already a few of our customers signed up as affiliates (they act so fast that they deserved a prize!). But, we’ll save it for the next post on our affiliate program. If you can’t wait, head over there and sign up first.

Thank You: Think Design & Qkin

We owe both Think Design and Qkin a huge credit as our new design is modded from their excellent Versatility Lite theme. The theme is perfectly coded, clean, simple and solid. Oh, and it’s FREE. That my friend, is the beauty of WordPress and the community.

What do you think of our new design?

Like it? Hate it? Tell us what do you think.

It started last month when we were filtering our entries for the coolest blog competition. We were all excited when we found out one of our favorite website - Naldz Graphics joined. But, when we clicked on the site, it showed us this:

We don’t know what happened. We waited for few days, but it’s still the same. We found Ronald Bien’s twitter (the owner of Naldz Graphics). Seemed that he had aware of his site down too and his followers are deeply concerned. However, we found no other ways to contact Ronald. We couldn’t help but to exclude Naldz Graphic from the Top 20 list.

WP WebHost wants to help Naldz Graphics

Today, the site is still down. That’s why our team have decided to make this blog post, and would like to help Ronald to get his website up as soon as possible. We are eager to partner up with Naldz Graphics and help Ronald to transfer the hosting over from his evil hosting company, with no charges.

That’s why, if you are reading this, I need your help. If you know Ronald, or an avid reader of Naldz Graphics, please pass along this blog post / message to him - that WP WebHost team are here to help him to get his site up.

Here is my contact details: foress [at] wpwebhost.com .

Help us. Help Naldz Graphics.

In the process of the competition, there is a frequent question: “How do you define cool?”. First of all, the coolness factor is an abstract one. Sometimes it’s the design. Sometimes it’s the style of blogging. Sometimes it’s just the faintest, slightest thing that make us think the blog is.

So, we have made our decisions. Now it’s your turn. Here are the 20 candidates we’ve chosen:

Jason Cypret
Because browsing his blog is like having a space odyssey.

We Love WP
The largest WordPress showcase site made by the biggest WordPress fans like us.

Branded07
Probably the best looking blog we’ve seen so far.

Twenty Four Carat
Self proclaimed shopaholic, bookworm, designer, computer geek, hot chick with red silky hair. That’s just too much.

Kikay.org
When Ericka says “effin col” - it’s effin cool.

lewro’s blog
The big “LEWRO’s CUPPA” with Latte and Cappucino, Starbucks passionate and the apple-zen-like design of the blog. Gotta love it.

The Design Superhero
Because Aravind is the equivalent of Superman in web design.

The Hip Hop Democrat
Hip Hop + Politics = Too Cool For School

Josh Mackey
Eye popping car photography shooting and occasional high definition wallpaper give away of the hot wheels.

DivitoDesign
Simplicity at its finest.

Komodomedia
Because Rogie is giving it all away and we thought that’s the coolest thing to do.

Inspiredology
Fantastic design (take a look at the header) meets the best inspirational design showcase, and Chad is our favorite customer.

WP Engineer
Because we subscribed their rss feed right away. You should too.

ForTheLose.org
Warning. FTL is highly addictive.

WP Candy
This blog wins hands down as the sweetest WordPress blog, probably the coolest too.

Ronin Snowboards
A picture’s worth a thousand words.

Nias Zalukhu
How do you say “There’s No Charge For Awesomeness” in Malay?

Deziner Folio
The Navdeep and Naveen brothers have put together a fantastic design showcase. They even made our banner looks better.

WereWP
Because Jeremy is spreading the same WordPress Love like we do.

Design Shard
Ok. By now you probably realize that we have a weak point over such design and inspiration blog.
