Hosting Sales and Promos Roundup -
November 21, 2008 - This week's hosting sales and promotions have already begun capitalizing on the upcoming holiday season, steering away from the doom and gloom of last week's economic crisis-driven deals, but rather appealing to budgets constrained by the price of putting presents under the tree.
