Win a Free Domain! - UK Web Hosting | Dedicated Server Windows and Linux VPS Forum

**Ryan** · #1 (**permalink**) 13-09-2006, 14:53

As part of our campaign for the growth and expansion of our business as well as our forum, we have decided to start a free domain contest where both new and existing members can be in with a chance of winning a free domain; existing customers and other internet users are also encouraged to join up to be in with a chance. The domain that you win can be your choice, and will be registered by us for 1 year for .com and other GTLD domains, and 2 years for CCTLDs respectively. To be in with a chance to win a GTLD domain then you will need to post 40 high-quality posts; to be in with a chance of winning a CCTLD domain then you will need to have completed 70 high-quality posts. Like all competitions and contests, this one has rules.

Contest Rules

-To be in with a chance of winning a free domain, a user must make either 40 or 70 high quality posts, depending on the type of domain they want. Material posted must be written by him/her self and can not come from any other source.

-If material is found to be copied then the user must compensate for this by completing 5 quality posts written by him/herself.

-Each user is limited to a maximum of 1 free domain from this contest.

-Posts made in the 'Off Topic' section of this forum can not count towards the final total.

-A user must not posts more than 10 times a day for this contest, otherwise posts may be considered spam.

-Any user wishing to participate in this contest must be above the age of 16.

-This contest shall be conducted by eUKhost at its sole and absolute discretion.

-The recipient undertakes not to raise any disputes with respect to the provision of a free domain against eUKhost nor will he/she initiate any legal proceedings with respect to the provision of a free domain against eUKhost.

By participating in this contest, the user is hereby agreeing to the above stated terms and conditions.

Any user who is participating in this content and is found to be breeching these rules will have their forum user account disabled with immediate effect.

In order to claim your free domain, you will need to PM a moderator who will then review your posts and the decision will be taken from there.

I have noticed that people have been opening threads with random questions in order to get their post count up. From this point in time these question threads will not count towards your post count as they are not classed as quality posts and are not helpful in any sense what-so-ever. People who keep opening these type of threads will have their account suspended permenantly.

IMPORTANT

I have noticed a few members (I won't name and shame them), who are replying to very old forum topics to try and quickly get the posts required for the free domain contest.

Posting to very old topics will only get you an infraction, and not a free domain name.

As mentioned in the contest rules, posts must be of a "high-quality" - posting in very old topics will only deem your posts of a very low quality, as chances are, the topic is so outdated, that the information contained is pretty much useless.

Let this be a warning to you all.

Hello Wayne,

Make sure that you contribute with good posts that would provide this forum with good content. Your link in the signature would give boost to your website hosting so you have dual benefit from this offer.

Hi, great idea to get more activity here on the boards

- I jus wondered, is there a closing date for the competition? Or is it a long term thing that you want people to post over say the next 3 months?

Thanks!

Rocky

**eUKhost.com** · #6 (**permalink**) 22-09-2006, 11:35

There's no date limit or any time frame to post good content. Outcome of good content is more important for us as thats going to help in popularity of the forum.

P.S : Content is Gold

**bccruzer** · #7 (**permalink**) 01-10-2006, 19:51

yep. trashing the forums with tons of stuff that was useless would make eukhost look bad and also take up unnnecessary space and make the forums harder too navigate around. content ios best

**ledeanio** · #8 (**permalink**) 20-10-2006, 21:08

Hi,

Is this for everyone who reaches 30 quality posts or is this for one person to win it?

Also, how do we let you know that we have reached 30 quality posts?

Excellent way of getting more content btw. I agree, content is gold (though my forum died a long time ago - hoping to resurrect it too).

**eUKhost.com** · #9 (**permalink**) 20-10-2006, 21:25

This is for anyone who contributes 30 quality posts. You can open a ticket on our helpdesk for our sales department with preferred domain name and we will get back to as soon as the domain name gets registered.

It should not take more than 1 hour to get the domain name from our sales department.

found this website hosting in google and I'm wondering if this contest is still on? how many domains will you be giving?

nice contest

**eUKhost.com** · #11 (**permalink**) 22-10-2006, 12:25

So far we have given more than 30 domains. This contest is open and it will remain open for those who contribute good content to the forum.

We dont mind giving domains for free as the contribution of 30 quality posts will help growth of our forum.

more posts = more traffic
more traffic = more visitors
more visitors = more signups

i've never used a forum before. i came across this one from a search engine. I think you domain contest is a really good idea. how do you know how many posts you've made?

**eUKhost.com** · #14 (**permalink**) 29-10-2006, 18:05

Right now it shows 1 post above your post. Forum goes on calculating your posts and thats how we make out how many posts you have added so far. When we click on your username then we have a option to go through all threads you have started so far and search feature also allows to see all posts and threads added by any user.

Start posting in our forum and also read posts in our blog as those should help you a lot to improve your technical knowledge as well as knowledge of running online business.

**eUKhost.com** · #16 (**permalink**) 04-11-2006, 12:58

We will register the domain name for 1 year. Incase if you continue with good contribution in the forum then we will consider free renewal as well for coming years.

Hello realmadrid-bg,

Welcome to the forum, the Free Domain contest is still open, you contribute 30 quality posts to the forum and you are eligible to win a free domain of your choice for a year!

**realmadrid-bg** · #19 (**permalink**) 08-01-2007, 15:37

Wow! What a great idea! Wish more website hostings were like this one

**mark36ph** · #20 (**permalink**) 14-01-2007, 19:35

Is this contest still on?
I would be interested in attempting to win a new domain to host here.
I am currently working on a project and would like a good place to host it and looking at the hosting packages here this place seems like a good place to start
