CoffeeCup Software & Lunarpages Web Hosting – An Internet Love Story
And Rico Revealed..
Author: Amy Armitage
So… For about 7 months now I’ve been working on a deal with CoffeeCup Software. It all started one day back in January when I wrote them an email and to my surprise their CEO Nick Longo wanted to chat on the phone with me. Everyone at work said it was because of my aussie accent (and the STEAMY photos I attached).. but I know it was really because he knew that Lunarpages Web Hosting is awesome.. plus my offer intrigued him.
So we danced and we dined and after a very long courting process Lunarpages and CoffeeCup were finally dating.. building a relationship to last a lifetime.. it was corporate love.. mutual respect and adoration.
The result of this union is a BIG WIN to Lunarpages Customers as we were blessed with considerable offspring as a result of this partnership…
20 cute little bundled CoffeeCup Software programs…
… housed within Lunarpages hosting packages
FREE to Lunarpages Web Hosting Customers!
Lunarpages shared hosting customers already receive a FREE domain name for LIFE and three extra cheap domains for $2.99 each. Now thanks to our exclusive partnership with CoffeeCup Software, every new and renewed annual or two year shared hosting plan includes OVER $700 of CoffeeCup web design software… On the house! The gift of CoffeeCup’s entire software collection is exclusively available to Lunarpages web hosting customers.
FREE webmaster and web design software
But.. WHAT ABOUT RICO THE LOVE GOD?
Rico was a set up sent with love from my mates at CoffeeCup.. You see, they hoped that sending a postcard would result in GOSSIP spreading around the workplace of my torrid affair with this fella named Rico.
Sadly for them.. the day the postcard I arrived, thanks to fate and a nicotine craving, I happened to step outside. Just as I opened the door, the postman handed me our mail. On the top of the pile face up was the text “Hi Amy” and it caught my eye.
Being the clever lil minx I am.. I knew who the postcard was from, so as payback I posted the tale on my blog, and linked images of men I hoped Rico didn’t resemble.
Remember that cheesy guy?
This is actually J From CoffeeCup and frankly.. he’s not cheesy. He’s highly intelligent, incredibly accomplished, a true gentleman, a dapper dresser, has FABULOUS hair, and he’s a total heartthrob. As he walks by.. the girls swoon and make sighing noises. Seriously.. I’ve seen it.
Let’s not forget the Broadway Dancer..
This stunner is Nick from CoffeeCup.. Their debonair and handsome CEO whose wit and conversation I find totally enchanting. Nick is the kind of guy who doesn’t simply dismiss me with some lame response.. he picks up the phone and explains everything in detail, teaching me and SHARING everything relating to my initial question. Very generous. A remarkable man.
I look forward to chatting and working with these guys every day. Their tag line is Warm Software, Real People.
Together we are..
Enjoy your free software everyone! With compliments of CoffeeCup Software and Lunarpages Web Hosting

It probably didn’t hurt that their webmaster had been using/loving lunarpages for years.

Congratulations on the deal Amy. This sounds great. I was telling my mom and dad about this over breakfast before I went to day-camp at church and they said it was awesome.
Where in Australia are you from? I love Australia. Kangaroos are cool. I think having a pet Koala Bear would be cool too but I hear they poop a lot.

Amy,
You did a wonderful job getting the deal done for all your customers. You are an asset to Lunarpages and your upbeat approach and free thinking makes you a wonder to behold. I am glad I got to know you through this. May we be married forever until death do us part.

This really is a great deal. I’ve been pointing customers in the direction of Coffeecup since we first partnered with them and everybody was happy. “Why pay hundreds for that other website software when you can download a trial version of this or that Coffecup software for free. And if you like it the programs are very affordably priced.”
But free? Damn, you cannot beat that!!!
August 2nd, 2006 at 3:51 pm
WHAT A DEAL! I’ve talked to lots of customers that have Coffeecup and they all seem very happy with it. I’m going to download for myself. Amy, you’ve done it again!

Congratulations to LP and CC on a great deal. It’s fantastic to see this finally being born today.
