In the lesson, Zac points to a website "webhostingforstudents.com" when I enter this url, I get a different site

The website I get has a splash page that references web hosting dedicated to Students, blah, blah, blah. Just $25 a Year. I've checked the spelling, made sure it is *...students.COM" and it still comes up with the same URL, I even did a search for the same thing as outlined above and I end up at the splash page ",,,Dedicated to Students....$25 a year" What am I doing wrong or did Zac skip a step?

They just simply updated the look of the website from when the video was shot. Nothing more. Same site.

Sure looks like it. Unfortunate too, it's seems they had a somewhat abrupt parting ways with Zac, the previous wordpress teacher who started this hosting service.

is there any currently available contract with some hosting website for treehouse students for free hosting? otherwise could you please suggest some cheap and reliable hosting to choose for learning purposes?
