Yes, you read that right. We’ve teamed up with MacHighway – the awesome web host for Mac users, by Mac users – to offer Freeway users six months free web hosting.
MobileMe is going to be taken offline at the end of June (RIP). To commemorate this occasion, we’ve partnered with MacHighway to offer Freeway 5.5 users free hosting for six months. If you don’t own Freeway 5.5 (which is a paid-for upgrade from Freeway 5), head over to the Express or Pro pages and buy it now.
Once you’ve joined the Freeway family, taking advantage of the offer is simple:
- Open your copy of Freeway Express or Freeway Pro.
- Click the link to MacHighway’s website in the bottom right of the Welcome Screen and make a note of the Promotion Code. You can open your Welcome Screen from Freeway’s Help menu if it doesn’t open automatically. The offer will not be available unless you click on the link on Freeway’s Welcome screen.
- Select the hosting package you need. Make sure you select a hosting package on the first page you land on. If you select it from a different page, the offer will not work.
- Enter the Promotion Code when prompted.
- Sit back and enjoy six months free hosting!
Note: This promotion is available on new hosting packages only, is limited to one per customer, and can be canceled after six months by contacting MacHighway. It’s only available if Freeway is running in English. If you would like to take advantage of the offer, you’ll need to run Freeway in English.

I have Freeway Pro 5.6, opened it to get the promo code you were talking about, but in my Dutch version of Freeway Pro I could nowhere find a link to it. Is this MacHighway offer only for English owners of the application?

@Wim, the offer is currently only available in the English version of the application, yes. You can still take advantage of the offer by opening the English version of Freeway, though. This KnowledgeBase article explains how: http://www.softpress.com/kb/questions/239

Can existing users of FW get the free offer or is it only good for new purchases? Thanks!

Is there anything that can be done for me? I had heard generalities about the promotion, but hadn’t heard the specifics about how to get it in time. [From something I had read online about the promotion, I erroneously thought only people who purchased Freeway this month were eligible to get the promotion.] On June 30th (the final day of MobileMe), I signed up for a year of web hosting on Machighway. Right after that, I launched Freeway Pro and saw there was a place to click to get the 6-month’s free hosting promotion. Unfortunately, just a minute before, I had signed up for MacHighway! I wish I had reversed the sequence.
Incidentally, as the demise of MobileMe approached, I heard about MacHighway by googling “Freeway” to see if Softpress was recommending any particular web hosting service that would be Freeway-friendly. I’m definitely part of the intended audience for the 6-months free hosting promotion.
Thanks,
Nancy

Hi Nancy,
I think you’ll need to contact MacHighway about this. Since we have no control over their payment systems we would be unable to do anything from here. Sorry.

I was just reading how to make a contact form in Freeway Express. It said to check with host about PHP to see if this was possible. Does MacHighway support the PHP form?

Hello,
I need to transfer my Mobileme website to a new Host.
http://web.mac.com/byronrbowen/byronrbowen/Welcome.html
Q. Is this possible for this domain site?
I am a publisher: Bowen’s Books with Create Space or Amazon and Google books.
Q. If transferable to your system, will I need to redo all of my contacts to
due to the transfer?
Best

Hi Byron,
It looks like you own the domain “bowensbooks.com”. Just let MacHighway know you want to transfer this domain when you sign-up and they will do the rest for you (there will be an option to enter your domain name when you sign-up).
Your web host will only deal with your website. Your contacts should automatically be handled by the iCloud instead of MobileMe now.

Hi,
I was just wondering which MacHighway hosting plan is being offered? Thanks!
Joe Billings

Hi Kim,
I believe you can choose any plan you like. After the six months is up you then start paying the full price of that particular plan.
MacHighway supports PHP and specifically the form script that we recommend.
