Our Last Winners!

Finally! We are at the end of our Twitter Contest!

As the saying goes “When there’s a start, there will always be an ending“. Where did we get that quote, you ask? Well, we kind of made it ourselves… But hey, at least we have one, right?

Anyway, it was really fun doing the contest. We saw a lot of twitter responses from all over the world. It was awesome to meet so many new people who helped us save so many sites from the perils of free hosting.

We’d like to thank all of you who participated in the contest.

And so we’ve strapped on our diving masks (along with the Bat Bucket) for one last dive. All twitter handles were in, and the lucky 2 winners rescued are:

The first winner drawn is @danrako.
And the final winner is @bludesign4.

Both will be able to buy a year of hosting (provided by IX Web Hosting) for $1.00. Congratulations!

Thanks again to everyone!

P.S If you didn’t win stay tuned. We are headed back to Free Hosting Rescue’s command center to come up with a way to thank you all for participating. Check back after the 4th!

We are in our 4th week’s drawing right now. As of today, we’ve given away 8 out of our 10 $1 hosting accounts. Boy, did time go by fast! If you want to refresh your memory with the original post about the contest click HERE! Anyway, once again the rescue divers met with the help of the ever-reliable Bat bucket. We’ve used folded papers with Twitter participants handles and we’ve drawn two more names.

And so, the winners are (drum roll…):

The first winner drawn is @catrey.
And second winner is @leviself.

Both will be able to buy a year of hosting (provided by IX Web Hosting) for $1.00. Congratulations!

So, be sure to tune in to the same Bat channel (this blog) next week as we draw for our final two winners.  Who knows what the capped rescue workers will do next!

Batman announcing the winners

Another week goes by and it’s time for another winner post!

Once again, our (not-so) high-tech drawing mechanism was used. Using folded papers with the Twitter handles in it, we put them inside the Bat Bucket again and drew 2 names.  And guess who will announce the winners today? The Batman himself (in his cartoon form, anyway). As was stated in our earlier post, one of our rescue divers is also a graphic novel afficionado, and he drew the Caped Crusader on his whiteboard announcing this week’s Twitter winners.

And so, without further ado:

Holy Bat Bucket! The first winner drawn is @bobzorin.

Wuzzaaahhh! And second winner is @angiemeeker.

Both will be able to buy a year of hosting (provided by IX Web Hosting) for $1.00. Congratulations!

Second Round Winner!

It’s been a week and you’d think we would have come up with a high tech way to select today’s winners.  Well we didn’t. We did watch The Dark Knight again on DVD last night. Then once again, the Rescue team hit the Bat Beacon to summon the Caped Crusader for yet another drawing. All the twitter handles of those who Tweeted about our contest (from previous and current periods) were printed on a piece of paper, folded, and are put inside the Bat bucket again.  (If you want to refresh your memory with the original post about the contest click HERE!)

Kapow! The first winner drawn is @1080Group.

Zzzzzwap! And second winner is @katie_mccartney.

Both will be able to buy a year of hosting (provided by IX Web Hosting) for $1.00. Congratulations!

Our High Tech Drawing Mechanism

If you have been following Free Hosting Rescue, you know that we’ve been running a contest on Twitter. We are Tweeting to people who may be losing their free web hosting accounts and letting  them know Free Hosting Rescue is here to help. (If you need to refresh your memory with the original post about the contest click  HERE!)

The Rescue team gathered with great anticipation for the first drawing.  The Twitter handles of all those who entered were printed on a sheet of paper.  We cut them out and went looking for a hat to put them in.  Uh oh! No hat!

Not to be diverted from our mission, we went to commissioner Gordon’s office and hit the Bat beacon.  (One of our rescue divers is also a graphic novel afficionado) He happened to have a Batman collectible that would do the trick.

Bamm! The first winner drawn is @stanley2580.

Poww! And second winner is @lythandebs.

Both will be able to buy a year of hosting (provided by IX Web Hosting) for $1.00. Congratulations!

Fear not Gotham City! The contest is NOT over yet! Keep retweeting for a chance to win MORE $1 /year Hosting prizes!

Free Hosting Rescue Drawing

Why $1.00?

We are providing REAL plans with TRUE value:

• UNLIMITED web space and traffic
• UNLIMITED domain hosting
• 2 FREE Domain names (give your site a REAL name that has meaning – instead of geocities.com/username)
• Business Plus plan with a $ 107.40 value

Entering is simple. All you need to do is:
