Namecheap Celebrates Three Years of Web Hosting
We’re pleased to announce that Namecheap is celebrating a birthday this month! It has been three years since we started to offer web hosting. Currently, we offer shared, reseller, and business hosting. We also offer VPS and dedicated servers with root access and choice of operating systems (Fedora, CentOS, or FreeBSD; Windows is coming!), so anyone setting up a basic blog to a full scale e-commerce platform can find the perfect hosting solution. We currently have 25,000 valued subscribers and are adding more every day. For our three year celebration, we’d offer a 30% discount, but we’re upping the ante and giving you an even bigger discount.

Find a Cool Blog for NameCheap Hosting’s Next Contest
NameCheap hosting is proud to offer cPanel, the easiest control panel to use in web hosting today. cPanel is great for:
- Uploading and managing web pages;
- Creating email accounts;
- Installing web-based applications like blogs, shopping carts, and forums;
- Backing up data;
- Protecting a site’s content and bandwidth from abuse;
- Generating and viewing statistics about visitors; and
- Reviewing error logs to locate broken links and other problems.
We love cool, interesting blogs, so we are happy that cPanel allows you to install a WordPress blog in less than five minutes. Our next contest asks you to find cool blogs other people might not know about. The more obscure, the better. Six people will win domains and one will win a free VPS for a year to set up a blog or whatever they desire. You just have to log into Twitter and tweet:
“Hey @namecheap, have you seen this cool blog? (URL) #blogsworthhosting”
The contest starts Friday and you can play all weekend. Just don’t spam your followers. We are looking forward to checking out all the great sites you submit.
Party Like a Rock Star & Win! NameCheap Hosting is Celebrating it’s Two Year Anniversary

If there’s one thing we like doing at NameCheap, it’s celebrating good news. NameCheap hosting launched cPanel hosting two years ago and has since gained over 10,000 customers. We attribute this success to our commitment to customer service as well as our competitively priced hosting plans.
Are you down for bringing some fun to a party? If so, please help us create our mixtape. You could win the t-shirt of your choice at Threadless, one of the coolest t-shirt stores on the web. We are giving away two a day everyday from August 26-August 28 as well as four domain names each day.
Don’t worry, it’s really easy to play:
1.) Log into Twitter.
2.) Tweet “hey @namecheap, you should play this band at your #hostingparty (URL)”
The URL should be to a MySpace, YouTube clip, or website.
We will pick winners randomly, but give us the best you’ve got. Maybe some others can use the list we create for their parties as well.

Have a fantastic week, and thank you for choosing NameCheap!
It’s #donothingfriday! Submit the Most Fun Content on the Web and Win
It’s Friday. As much as our bosses or clients would like to think that we are diligently working away, there’s a good chance we are checking out funny YouTube clips or the latest oddball website.
Well, why fight it? In NameCheap’s next Twitter contest, we are asking you to find the funniest, weirdest, or most amusing website or online video you can find. The more unique it is, the better, as it will only make the collection more amusing. When you find it, go to your Twitter profile and let us know. Just tweet:
“hi @namecheap, have you checked out (URL to funny stuff)? #donothingfriday”
The two people who have the most amusing URLs to share win a free NameCheap VPS for a year so they too can create funny websites. Just be sure to use the hashtag #donothingfriday so everyone else can go to hashtags.org and check out the amazing collection of useless but very amusing sites and videos.
Help us build the collection by inviting all of your funny friends to tweet with you. If we get enough tweets, we just might add some more prizes to the pool 
. Just remember that you can tweet as many as you want as long as they come in before 5 PM CST.
Thanks for choosing NameCheap, and remember to follow us on Twitter for future contests and shenanigans.
