Powered by Lunarpages? Win Free Web Hosting!

Mitch — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 12:25:15 +0000

In an effort to give back to our great community, Lunarpages is giving away a free year of web hosting.

What do you have to do? Just add our “Powered by Lunarpages.com” button to your web site, let us know, and then you will be entered into the drawing to win one year of free web hosting!

How to Enter the Contest

I will break this down into very simple steps:

Step #1: Grab one of our Powered By Lunarpages banners. All you have to do is enter your Lunarpages affiliate ID into the empty text box, then click on the banner you wish to use.

Step #2: Copy and paste the code into your web site design, so you can let the world know you are proudly hosted by Lunarpages.

Step #3: E-mail us at affiliate@lunarpages.com with your e-mail address and domain name where we can see the banner, and we will add you to our list of entries.

If you own more than one site, then you have even more chances to win. You get one entry per domain you enter. So if you put the banner on one domain? You get one chance. You put it on 33 domains you host with us, you get 33 chances to win.

Also by adding your affiliate ID to the button, you can become a part of our ever growing team of affiliates and enjoy the benefits of an extra income.

The Gift That Keeps on Giving

As you can see, the banner for your web site that you copy and past into your web site code is linked to your Lunarpages affiliate account. This way, if somebody was to click through this link and sign up with us, we will pay you back $65 in return. How is that for the gift that keeps on giving?

If you have lost your affiliate account information, you may go to this link to get it reset and sent back to you. Just make sure you use the same e-mail account you used to sign up your hosting account with. You can setup a new affiliate account too, if you need a new affiliate account to use.

Need help? Have questions? Contact us at affiliate@lunarpages.com and we will be more than happy to help you out.

When will we announce the winner? The winner will be announced in our November edition of the Lunarpages Newsletter. Now, get those “Powered by” banners up, and good luck to all the Lunartics out there.

Contest is now over, thanks to everybody who entered!

Tiara — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 15:00:45 +0000

by Tiara Rea

I know everyone’s been waiting on pins and needles for the final decision, but let me stall just one more minute to say we really appreciated everyone’s efforts in this contest! All the WP themes submitted were just fantastic, and our staff had an incredibly difficult time choosing a top theme. They were all just phenomenal!

Also, here’s a brief rundown of how the voting worked:

Themes were judged by Lunarpages staff members and community. All submissions were judged by the following criteria:

Community Votes: 25%
Staff Votes: 25%
Creativity, Originality, & Uniqueness: 25%
Overall Theme & Usability: 25%

And now, for the winners!!!

First Place Winner: NewBlue by BlogDesignStudio

With the lead in Community votes and about 10% staff votes, this was our clear winner! BlogDesignStudio has now won $1,000 and 5 years free web hosting!!! We really loved this theme, guys, so your congratulations are well deserved!

Second Place Winner: Floral Day by SimplyWP

With over 300 community votes, a whopping 35% of our staff votes brought this theme into second place due to its creativity and the fact that nearly all our techies loved this theme for its usability as well! SimplyWP has won $300 and 3 years free web hosting! All your themes were lovely, so congratulations!

Third Place Winner: Styleicious by ThaSlayer

Styleicious was a clear top 3 from the start, and with around 5% of our staff votes, ThaSlayer has won 3rd place!! That gives him $100 and 1 year free web hosting! This was a wonderful theme, ThaSlayer, so congrats!

For Series 3, we also decided to let our CEO and Staff choose overall winners based on Creativity, Usability, and the total amount of staff votes. For these votes, we didn’t take community voting into consideration, so here’s our Staff and CEO vote!

CEO Choice: E-Storage Plus by Roger

Our CEO was impressed not only with the potential of this WP Theme for any webmaster for personal or business use, but also the amount of amazing themes Roger submitted. Our CEO had a hard time picking just one for his favorite. Roger, you’ve won 1 year free web hosting!

Staff Choice: Dreamworks Redux by Vinh Le

This theme wasn’t even up for any of the weekly voting rounds, but our staff sure loved it!! Congratulations, Vinh Le! You’ve won 1 year free hosting!
