Win FREE Web Hosting with HostGator!!

Author: Jim | Filed under: Contests

Check Out the HostGator Giveaway!

No contest for the month of September? NONSENSE! I’m sure I had all of you fooled when I said that I wouldn’t be running a little competition here until October. ;)

As many of you already know, Jimvesting dot com is now run on servers hosted over at HostGator. I have experienced nothing but the highest quality customer service, and things have really gotten a lot faster in terms of load-times ever since I made the switch. I highly recommend their affordable hosting for anyone interested in running a serious blog or website that makes real money.

Some of you might just not be able to afford the awesome premium hosting services offered through HostGator or any paid hosting provider. While HostGator gives you the best bang for your buck, I wanted to give you a way to get it for FREE… and HostGator delivered the goods! :D

The Prizes

You can review all of the specifics of the hosting plans that HostGator offers on their official shared web hosting page. All hosting accounts come with the most advanced CPanel account management software and access to all of the features that you would ever need (MYSQL, PHP, Java, Perl, etc.). What’s more? You get unlimited email accounts, add-on domains, ftp accounts and databases with every account!

First Prize: One-Year “Swamp” Plan

Our first prize winner will receive the best shared hosting plan that HostGator has to offer. Called the “Swamp” plan, you get 1,000gb of space and UNLIMITED bandwidth along with unlimited domains so you can host all your blogs on just one account. There’s nothing better, nothing easier, and it’s the plan I use… so you can’t go wrong. This prize is valued at $179.40, and you get one full year of service for free!

Second Prize: One-Year “Baby” Plan

The “Baby” plan is anything but! With plenty of space to run as many blogs as you want with high-efficiency and maximum speed… this sucker comes with a massive 600gb of space (about 10 of my hard drives, haha) and 6,000gb bandwidth. You’ll drive insane amounts of traffic to your blog in no time with this top-notch plan for the serious entrepreneur. This prize is valued at $119.40, and you get one full year!

Third Prize: One-Year “Hatchling” Plan

Don’t be turned off by the fact that this is HostGator’s smallest shared hosting plan available. 350gb and 3,000gb bandwidth means that you’ll have more than enough space to store anything you desire, and won’t be running out of bandwidth for your traffic anytime soon. You can host one domain on this account, and with the 99.9% up-time guarantee on all plans you can count on the “Hatchling” package. This prize is valued at $107.40, and you get one full year of service for free!

How to Enter: 5 Ways to Win!

  2. I have already subscribed to your blog via RSS and subscribing via email would be stupid. You know I read it every day and comment on almost every post. So why should number one be required?
    Seeing as I am a loyal reader can i skip number 1 (I dont want things cloggin up my inbox) and can I just enter by posting about it?

  4. Ryan- I have almost 700 subscribers, I can’t be fair by adding up everyone I remember haha. Email’s a pretty standard requirement, and I just can’t make an exception for you buddy ;)

  32. Jim! Amazing contest. I’m struggling to afford my hosting so I’m praying I’ll win this. I’ve already been subscribed to the e-mail list at Jimvesting for a while now and I just subscribed too your latest blog, which I hope will teach me all about the stock market!

    I’ve already got you on my blog roll as ‘making money online’, but I’d love to blog about this contest, only problem is, my pagerank is 0. Does that give me 15 points? Or none?

    Also, I’m in the process of making twitter, etc… accounts to get started on those! Thanks for the awesome contest Jim!
