how do i use the microsoft adcenter coupon included in my new shared hosting plan?

Answer by: Stuart Pierce, Aplus.Net Knowledge Base Support

Aplus.Net shared hosting customers receive a free Microsoft adCenter coupon. With Aplus.Net Microsoft adCenter program you receive credit for adding an advertisement on MSN.

How does it work: You start by writing words that you would use to find your business on the Internet. These keywords are used to appeal to shoppers searching for what you have to offer. When they type these words related to your products, business or services, your ad appears on the search results pages of MSN.

The value of the Microsoft adCenter coupon depends on the shared hosting plan you have with Aplus.Net. See below for information:

Business Class Hosting: $50
Pro Plan Package: $100
eCommerce Package: $200

Aplus.Net issues Microsoft adCenter coupons per customer basis meaning that if you have two hosting plans in the same account, you will still receive one coupon. Please note that coupons are issued when your account has been opened for at least 5 business days.

Here is how you can use your Microsoft adCenter coupon:

First, you have to request the Microsoft adCenter Coupon from Aplus.Net:

Login to the Aplus.Net Control Panel at http://cp.aplus.net using your Registration Number and Account Password.
Select Web Hosting from the top navigation bar and then click on Coupons >> Microsoft adCenter.
Click on the Request MSN AdCenter Coupons button.

In the pop-up window that will open, check the boxes next to the hosting plan you'd like to request coupons for.

Finally, click the Request Coupons button. Initially, you will see a "Pending..." notice in the Coupon Code column. In about 30 minutes, you will be able to see the actual Coupon Code.

Once you have obtained your coupons from Aplus.Net, you have to sign up for a Microsoft adCenter campaign. Go to https://adcenter.microsoft.com/ and click the Sign Up Today button or use the login form to sign in.
