Ok, Basically the title says it all

SeanHosting.com are giving away 50 FREE domains to lucky winners!
The domains will also come with full DNS management!

OMG, what do i do?

All you have to do is goto www.seanhosting.com/giveaway (http://www.seanhosting.com/giveaway) for more info and how to enter!

Just keep watching that page, and entry forms will open soon.

It COULDNT be easier. (Well it could, but that would be boring!)

Remember to keep checking the page and you could be one of the lucky 50!

Good Luck!

They cannot be giving away 50 domains, or they'll be spending hundreds, and how would they get the money back?

Unless there is a catch, you have to bring at least 10 referrals or something ;)

MrCraig
02-11-2007, 07:58 PM
No catch

Its to get the hosting site publiscised basically so instead of spending hundreds on advertising, we're spending it on something people can do something with.

Plus, GL to all =]

Seanhosting apologise For The inconvinience!





Our server Has encountered an error and Seanhosting Is expecting a Lot of entries so we are performing maintenence on Our php and mysql memory levels and Setting slots so only 70 people can apply at the same time (This Makes a big Que but its worth it. Dont you think? Well i would rather have a Big que of entries than a server overload and all the entries will be gone lol!



Please Bare with us!



Competition Entries SHOULD Open tomorrow at 12:00 (Midday) aka, Lunch time

So that's basically when everyone is at school... ? Smooth... I can safetly say I'd never buy anything from a host that pulls stunts like this. Server loads should have been checked and optimized long before now.

Beau
04-11-2007, 12:26 AM
Well, it's technically Sunday now, so I'd assume Monday. Then again, considering the disgusting use of grammar on that error message, I can't say I would vouch for the host's intelligence. Could well be 12pm today.

MrCraig
04-11-2007, 12:27 AM

MrCraig

it is not scam and we apologize for any inconvenience as we did not suspect this level of interest

complaining does not get it done any faster

Beau
04-11-2007, 12:49 AM
To be honest, I'm not complaining. I'm genuinely happy that this occured. It's obvious to me that your company is anything but professional. I'd rather pay $10 to a registrar than risk losing control of a domain to your company.

No.. 50 people win?

You enter your desired domain and stuff, then 50 are randomly selected and we register them for them.

And if you win, you will be contacted using the email u submitted when entering the comp.

I checked at 00:04 or something & it wasn't open yet ;)
So I hope the time you enter doesn't have anything to do with the rules if winning.

Anyway, nice gesture ;)

MrCraig
04-11-2007, 05:56 PM
No, All winners will be randomly selected

And we did have a slight problem with timestamps this morning due to the server being located in the USA.

What time you enter has no influence on your chances at all.

Scam?

Hello,

Seanhosting\'s Mega Giveaway has Now ended! - Well done to all Those 10 People who won domain Names (Unfortunatly we didnt quite Make 600 Unique Entries) So we Didnt give out 50, But we still Have 40 Domains Left to be Given away! Dont forget one thing, the 10 Runners up will Recieve themselves a 50 Listener Shoutcast and a Special Hosting Plan from seanhosting! (Seanhosting apologise for the change in the prizes But we Had a Financial Error!) Its Been a Very sucessful giveaway apart from the Little Financial Error. Also a Big thanks to the seanhosting Management (Craig, Dez, Azza ect) For Advertising and making this giveaway a Great successful event!

The Shoutcast and Hosting winners Have not yet been deicded but seanhosting management have decided to Give them to The Best 10 Referers, And they are:

Habombers
Cj555
dale
harry
azza
Benn Price
StraightUP
Ryan
Louise R
sean-hosting

But There is a Catch!, Only 5 Of These will win The 50 Listeners shoutcast and a basic Hosting Plan at Seanhosting.

Within The Next 24 Hours There will be a form on the site: http://giveaway.seanhosting.com (http://giveaway.seanhosting.com/) where you can choose who wins the hosting and who wins the shoutcast. There will be a strict One entry per person.


Thankyou,
Seanhosting!



"Financial error". Should have worked out how much it will cost before hand, eh? So you only gave away ten, wonderful. Not the 40.

Please remove my email from your db. :)

MrCraig
05-11-2007, 04:10 PM
The db will be truncated dont worry.

And, We have used a mass-emailing system to inform the winners and sean has put on a domain by mistake..

But everyone who got an email saying they won have won the domain they originally entered.

We will set up the domains now and send you each an individual email

+ Ew, i dont want shoutcast + hosting.

Little point when i have whm details?

MrCraig
05-11-2007, 04:29 PM
-- I dont care if i get an infraction, i need to post this--

Okay, there has been a little confusion with the email system



(you should of all gotten an email saying about the confusion)



We are currently getting winners confirmed, so please do not start celebrating/not celebrating until you have a final confirmed email saying either "Sorry, You have lost" or "Gratz, You have won and your domain is <The domain you put>"



Once again, we apologize for the confusion and its been our first time running a competition on this scale.



Obviously, more planning will be required in future.

Please stop complaining, cos im sick of it tbh.,

and to be honest...

you should have given away the full 50...

'cus now people might think you change things last minute.

MrCraig
05-11-2007, 07:31 PM
it wasnt me who decided not to give away the 50 sorry.

However, yh, it was partially my fault as i failed to declare it on the page. and it was also partially owners fault who didnt tell me that the number given away would depend on the amount of entries we recieved.

We only got 72 entries and it wouldnt of been much of a competition if we gave them to 3/4 of those who entered.

adamFTW
06-11-2007, 01:02 PM
I didnt get an email, I only got 2:

The one about lilhabboisland.com & one about the post saying free 50 listener shoutcast or whatever.

Do the people who didnt win get no email?

06-11-2007, 01:23 PM

I got an email to [email protected] saying I've won lilhabboisland.com, which was not the one I requested, I wanted habbositepanel.com ;)
And before that I got one saying some rambly stuff about a SHOUTcast server.
Does that mean, I've won?
