In order to get the extra entries for buying hosting, you must enter the coupon code listed. The money back guarantee for those who buy hosting using the coupon code is limited to the deadline date for this contest.

Good luck to everyone!

Updates

I guess this is more than a $4,000 contest, as the combined value of the prizes is a little over $6,000 :)

Just a test to see if you can actually post commenst again :-/ Yup, looks good. Sorry about that, we were wondering why no one was leaving comments anywhere on the blog! Had to do with the recent upgrade to WordPress. Good luck!

Egonitron on 06 November 2007 said:

Cool, signed up for your affiliate program, I’ll do the rest later. How do we know if we got an entry in for the affiliate program?

Kyle on 06 November 2007 said:

C Fernandes: I will definitely check that out, thank you!

Egonitron: If you received your little welcome email after you signed up, then you’re good to go. When someone signs up it records the date, so anyone who registered between November 3 and December 5 will have an entry.

Also, I know we didn’t mention this, but we will in an email we will be sendng out later this week, all existing clients and affiliates are guaranteed an entry to the contest. And the coupon code is valid for new and current clients too.

Kyle on 09 November 2007 said:

You will receive a code later, towards the end of the contest. We simply cannot confirm every single entry though, but they are getting through :) Good luck and thanks for participating.

Kyle on 10 November 2007 said:

The chances of winning this contest are suprisingly very good right now. If I were to guess what the odds were for this contest, I’d say you had a 1:300 chance for each entry. Remember, it’s free to enter the contest and we’re giving away some damn good prizes here.

narendra.s.v on 11 November 2007 said:

hello there,

This is narendra.s.v well iam going to buy a domain name for a year($5.99) will that add me a entry?! and also am going to make a screen cast on the website too will it add me a entry?! but how can u know that iam in both ur feed email and affiliate program !?
so can i expect 35 entries?!

Thanks,
narendra.s.v

Kyle on 11 November 2007 said:

Narendra: Buying just a domain will not add an entry, but the screencast will. When you signed up for the affiliate program, you had to enter your email address. Same goes for the subscription to RSS via email. That will go in a database of email addresses that we will draw from.

Venux on 03 December 2007 said:

Does copying this page and posting it on a blog count as blogging? That’s kind of cheap when some of us spent some time on writing up an actual blog post, don’t you say? :S

narendra.s.v on 03 December 2007 said:

Venux on 10 December 2007 said:

Have the winners already been chosen and e-mailed?

Kyle on 10 December 2007 said:

The first winner has, but we’re giving them 24 hours to reply before we move to the next one just to be fair. The first winner hasn’t responded yet though.

We will announce when everything is finished and the winners have been chosen.

Venux on 10 December 2007 said:

Good, good, then all hope is not lost :)

David Airey on 23 December 2007 said:

Hi Kyle,

Have a great xmas.
