Win One Year Of Free Hosting

By admin | April 22, 2007

Subscribed? Leave a comment so I can add you to the draw!

Pondering for hours what I could do in return for my dedicated readers, this idea came to me. Since I don’t have cool gadgets like a 9 Inch Philips Digital Photoframe to give away, I have decided to give away one year of absolutely free hosting on my dedicated server, including your own cPanel with Fantastico auto-installer software. This means you control your own pop3 email addresses, you can install your own blog software like wordpress, a forum or even your very own picture gallery with the click of a button. Heck, I’ll even throw in SSH access to your account so you can install your own scripts.

With no restrictions this offers much more possibilities than a free wordpress.com or blogger.com account.
I will be, when time permits me, available for any technical questions you might have while setting up your own free account. All for absolutely nothing, one whole year!

Already have a great hosting plan? No problem, you can still enter the competition. You can give away the prize you won here for a competition on your own blog!

What’s the catch? Simple! Just subscribe to my full RSS feed or do a little review with a linkback to this post on your current blog. Or both for extra kudos.
Any suggestion you might have about giving my blog more exposure and traffic will be taken into consideration. Obviously people who can and will do things to get bobmeetsworld.com more publicity get those extra kudos too:)

How will I pick the winner? Every comment number will be written on its very own piece of paper and thrown into a bowl. The people that earned extra kudos will get 2 pieces of paper for the same comment number in the bowl. I will take photos of the draw too :)

The winner will be handpicked by me on my birthday, the 9th of May!

    What do you mean by random?

    Random as in writing the names on a piece of paper and picking one out of a bowl?

  5. Bob Says:
    April 24th, 2007 at 10:01 am

    Hi Ilker, I will write comment numbers on pieces of paper and pick those out of a bowl indeed. When I say extra kudos, I mean I will probably enter 2 pieces of paper for one comment number in that same bowl. So increasing the odds of that paper being picked.
    I will take photos of the whole event too! ;)

    I’m not really interested in the free web hosting since my blog is a personal one and I don’t it to be professional or anything..

    but you should add a noticeable link below your header on all pages linking to this post, so any new person who passes by will notice. With people writing about your blog from this contest, you’ll definitely get more visitors, and the more people that see the contest, the more contestants and thus traffic. :)

    2Perfect that is a really good suggestion I hope Bob implements it.

    links from Technoratis come up with an interesting way to increase his RSS subscriptions, which I have to say, I may steal one of these days (don’t worry, Bob, I’ll give you credit). Take a look at the details for winning a free year of hosting.

    Wow, great post.. I have been with Frostbytehosting.com for over one year now. I started with a simple Shared Hosting Plan but since their support was so good, I now own 3 dedicated servers from them. I think I have tried all other hosts, Godaddy, Hostgator, but their support was lacking and Frostbyte’s was just was too good. I don’t own a Managed Server but honestly, I asked them to install scripts and they did it. With like 15 min turn arounds.. I love this company. But anyway good luck with whoever you choose.
