Win Free Domain Name and Hosting for 2 years!
.
This is an 8 week long free domain name + free hosting giveaway contest (until Feb 13th 2008).
Every week one random winner will be chosen. He/she will be entitled to choose a domain name of his/her own and a two years free web hosting that will be provided by ServerPronto. Free hosting will be sponsored by my friend Arstan of Jusupov.com. I would like to thank him for his generous offer. Domain name will be sponsored by myself, for the duration of two years as well.
Main objective of this contest is to help new bloggers setup their own blog under their own domain name and hosting. We are aware of the limitations of the free blogging platforms, and how difficult it might get sometimes to monetize such blogs. Therefore, we hope that this two years of free domain & hosting will give enough time for the selected blogger(s) to be successful, i.e to be fully profitable. If the two year period is not enough, we are open to any discussion to extend the offer.
Contest Rules:
- Subscribe to RSS
I am sure most of you have already subscribed to my RSS anyway, but if you haven’t please subscribe here first. This rule must be accomplished before you proceed to Rule No.2 - Leave your Name and reachable email under this post
By commenting on this post you will automatically be entered into this week’s contest. Just leave your name and email.
Example: Bill Gates, bill(at)microsoft(.)com – this is sufficient to participate in this contest. However, if you want to comment more than that, feel free.
That’s the rules! Pretty simple huh?
Hosting Specifications:
- 1000MB diskspace
- 1000MB of monthly bandwidth for a start (extendable up to 3000MB)
- Google apps can be configured upon your request for your email management
Winners:
- Week 1 (19th – 26th December, 2007) – Amy Palko
- Week 2 (27th Dec – 2nd January, 2008) – Victor Esparza

Selection Process
Selection process will be based on random selection. I will enter all the names into a database as a separate entry, then using a script one random entry will be displayed from all the entries. To make it fair to all, the page will be viewed only once. That means this page will be viewed only once every week.
Terms and Conditions
It’s a known fact, but let me state it here anyway. Any blogs (from the winners) that promote illegal activity, warez, copyright infringement, gambling, pornographic content, racial and religious hatred will be closed down immediately without any notice. But as long as you do not violate the TOC of this contest, you will enjoy the free hosting and domain name for 2 years.

Thank you…

Shawal, I know what you mean. I don’t like to subscribe to anything either, that’s why I tried to make the contest rules as simple as possible.
After all, subscribing to your favorite blog RSS is nothing right? ;)

Very good contest!
Hi, have already subscribed to this blog. I’ve been a faithful reader for the past week — just recently discovered this :). I’m a bit shy though, so I just posted my nickname — I don’t like publicisizing my full name. Hope that’s okay …and really hoping to win :)
Sorry, I should have left my email address. Anyway, here it is: ethanmama@gmail.com . (Nick)name: Joey
Hi Joey, welcome to my blog. I hope you find my posts useful. Yes, the nick is allowed, as long as there is no one with the same nick as you. That’s why it’s preferred to leave a full name.

Why should us publish our email in the comment when we’ve already done so when filling up the comment form?
Kindly consider this comment as an entry.
Chong, because not all people give functional email addresses in the email field.
Your entry is accepted.
P.S If anybody do not want to publish their email, please mention it in your comments that you have already provided functional email address in the email field.
Wow, what a fantastic prize! Count me in!
Amy Palko
amypalko(at)madasafish(dot)com
I think Chong is right. I guess you should just fill out Name & E-Mail field when you are writing comment. That should count.
But then email doesn’t show up for everybody, some may think it as not so transparent contest. :)
Therefore, everybody, if you can, please just follow the official rules, unless you really do not want to give out your emails.
Hi Ades,
I subscribed your RSS since 3 months back.

Guys, thank you all for entering this contest. Everyone who have subscribed until today has been entered for the week-2 selection. Good Luck.
I am already a subscriber and would like to enter but on behalf of someone else. A good friend of mine wants to be a stay at home mom to have that added time with her family and wants to get into the blogging world. This would be an awesome start for her so if I were to win, I would like to pass it on to her:) It’s all about paying it forward!
Congratulations to the winner this week. Hope I win the next one :)

Recently, i have been messing with the idea of creating my own blog. Most impotantly i have been concerned about how to monetize it. i have been doing some research.
which led me to a guy named john chow then from his site, i came across adesblog, which also led me to aductions.com
I must say if you are a blogger you should check out what aductions has to offer, very impressive.
yea !! … hoping for a domain
I’ve included my email in the comment form
Hi would love to win the competition! Wanted to start blogging soon so this would be ideal!

Can you tell me what is your post a comment plugin that show the spam script? I would like to put it in my blog. I noticed you are using a contact plugin with a challenge question. Do you know of any contact plugin that uses anti spam just like your comment plugin that show picture instead?
Ops. I forgot to mentioned that I subscribed to your RSS feed since July 2007 so I would like to participate in this contest. Initially I subscribed your feed via IE but found synchronising all my feeds between the PC I used in office and the notebook I used at home troublesome. Since Jan08, I begin using iGoogle to store all my feeds. Now I can view my feeds with any PC. Yeh!

I’m one of those “new bloggers” who would like to “setup their own blog under their own domain name and hosting.” This would be an EXCELLENT EXCELLENT opportunity. It’s mind-boggling to see the options available out there, and deciding who to register your domain name with and where to host it feels like a BIG thing for a small-time blogger like myself. I appreciate this contest if for no other reason than it gives me some HOPE! Thanks so much.
PS – I subscribed, too, and my e-mail is in the comment form.
