Thread: Free com/net/org with Dotster

Taken from: Happy Hour - Dotster

"On Tuesday, June 24, from 9AM - 4PM PDT (12PM - 7PM EDT), Dotster will be giving away 50 FREE, .COM, .NET, or .ORG, new domain names on a first-come, first-served basis, at the top of every hour.* During the giveaway, click on the banner on the homepage and enter your email to see if you have won 1 of 50 domains given away that hour. If you did not win, you can keep trying at the top of each hour through 4PM PDT."

It's limited to one domain per customer, and the domains run for one year, it doesn't start til tuesday but I thought I would post in case anyone hadn't seen it

I got the email too

That will be a great offer... :twisted:

thanks for the info

Cheers for the info. Checkin' it out.

I got one the last time they did this, and everyone else here completely forgot about it....
I wonder what will happen this time <g>

Yes they will be giving 50 out, but think of how many people will be wanting 1......

What will be the time if converted to IST..???

PDT is -7 UTC (co-ordinated universal time) IST (if thats for India) is +5 and a half hours ahead so 9am PDT is 9.30pm IST, which means it'll run from 9.30pm til 4.30am for you although I'm not 100% sure on that and if I'm wrong it'd be great if someone could correct me

The trick is to click on the submit button at the start of the hour...
I got a message saying I've won a free domain, and that I should be getting an email within 2 hours (?).

Nothing yet.

I've been trying every hour since 10 and haven't won jack. I think it's a scam

You have to be precise as hell.... When they mean top of the hour, they mean right down to the second.
I went by the time here:
PST: Pacific Standard Time* (USA & Canada). What's the time now?

joseph added 0 Minutes and 48 Seconds later...

But I still haven't gotten the confirmation email, though...
You're probably right about it being a scam.

took your advice about the exact second. opened up the clock, when it hit 59th minute, I just kept trying, at 4:00:02 I got

Congratulations, you have won one FREE domain

Likewise.
Normally, I wake up with domain ideas. Now that I have a free domain waiting for me, nothing.

Missed it but these days I'm trying to keep all my domains in one place.. usually use GoDaddy.
