Free domain competition!

Yes, you read right, I'm giving a free top level domain of your choice to one lucky winner.

There are some requirements that you need to meet, though.


1. You must already have your site hosted by Trap17.
2. Your site must have been up for longer than two months.
3. You need to reply to this topic with reasons why you should receive the domain instead of the other competitors.
4. Moderators and admins cannot enter.



The domain will be registered in my name, for one year, but it will be pointed towards the site of your choice. There will be no advertisements placed by anyone at any time, other than by you of course.

ENTREES ARE POSTED HERE!

EDIT: Fixed title!

EDIT: Competition finished, jlhaslip is the winner.

Whatever it is, I'm in. I've wanted a domain for so long and I'm hoping that having one at last will persuade my dad to buy one for me :huh:

Wow, a free domain. I wouldn't mind one, I'm still using my Trap17 sub-domain thing, and that can be quite hard to remember. I've had a site here for over 2 months.

Good luck to everyone.

Hmmm... A free domain is something I've been longed for..

To the requirements:

1. You must already have your site hosted by Trap17.
- I've my own site running and hosted by Trap17.

2. Your site must have been up for longer than two months.
- It's probably up for more than 6 months.

3. You need to reply to this topic with reasons why you should receive the domain instead of the other competitors.
- I've been a loyal member who uses only Trap17 to host webpages :huh:
- I did not spam in the forums.
- I only post when I know it is going to help the topic starter rather than a comment for achieving hosting credits.
- I did not host illegal items and/or stuffs on Trap17.
- I always try to help as much as I could to the Trap17 community.
- I've been inviting friends to Trap17 service.
- Most importantly, I respect the admins and mods and the superb service of Trap17.

4. Moderators and admins cannot enter.
- I'm just a member, but a loyal one.


Hope I can qualify. Thanks for this offer by the way...

First off, I want to thank you for doing this. It gives the users a little more incentive to stay active on the forum and to make posts. It is after all your money that your giving away by buying a domain for someone.

Lets see, I run a clan site. I have been longing to get a domain for the clan for like a year now. I would get one but I don't have a credit card to pay for it and my parents won't let me use theirs because they don't trust the internet :huh:

It would help my clan if I got this domain. It makes the clan look more professional when you have your own domain and it is not a subdomain. Also, then it would be easier for my members to remember the clan site since it would then be the clan name for the address.

Thanks for the opportunity to get a free domain.

any how i like you would give the take the host competition.
or do some work for that so we would got that.and i have no credit cards so..this is.
--------------
if you use the sub domain of trap17,then i think this will increase the alexa rank or page rank of trap17.
so lots of free webhosts like the members use their subdomain,is that right?

I think he wants to take a part in this competition because he has no credit cards, so he cannot buy a domain name.

This is new and a very good idea to promote trap17.com free hosting service.

Now, the main reasons are:

1. My site is already hosted at trap17.com

2. My site is already hosted at trap17.com for more than two months.

3. :

I've using the forums in a correct way.

I've been using the freebie forum all the time and i'm making some good posts with the purpose of sharing good stuff with the trap17.com forums members.

Finally, i apreciate this offer that you/you're making of a tld, and of course, i'll continue to contribute in the forums.

Thanks in advance.

I have a question: what will happen after the year? I mean, if you register it in your name... will you keep the domain for yourself? or am I gonna be able to purchase for a renewal for myself and afterall keep it myself?

Well, if the deal is just like the second one, I'd like to have my own domain ;)

Cheers!!! :)

rejected,

Please allow me to enter the competition for this domain name.

If I am successful, I would donate the domain to the local Minor Hockey Association whose purpose is to provide young boys and girls the opportunity to learn the sport of Hockey and assist with their development as players. Sports organizations teach sport specific skills, but they also develop the member's social skills and citizenship. There are many benefits to playing sports, whether it is Hockey, Soccer, Baseball, Basketball, you name it. It teaches Fair Play and creates opportunities for youngsters to travel, stay fit, meet new friends.

I know that whoever receives this award will enjoy and benefit from it, but this is an opportunity to spread to benefit to 120 current players.

Thank you.
