The NameCheap "Fun Facts" Twitter Contest – Free Domains Giveaway
March 10 to 24, three domains given away every hour!

We had so much fun with our last Twitter trivia contest, we decided to up the stakes and have another!  This time you will be asked amazing trivia questions from around the world.  After playing, you’ll never be short of conversation starters again. 

We will be giving away three domain names every hour on the hour for two weeks on Twitter.  The top two players to answer the most questions correctly as well as one player at random will win customizable Dell Inspiron Mini Netbooks up to $500. At 1.03 kilograms, it’s one of the lightest notebook computers on the market today. 

NameCheap is the domain registrar that has always relied on word-of-mouth for marketing. So, it's no wonder we love social media tools like Twitter that allow people to easily spread the word.

So what exactly is Twitter?

Twitter is a service for people to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing? This can sound pretty mundane, but you can learn more about how it can be useful by watching this video called, "Twitter in Plain English" or read a post by Zappos.com here.

How can I play?

Participation is very simple.

Signup on twitter (https://twitter.com/signup) and follow us (we are @namecheap on twitter). We will be posting a trivia question every hour on the hour starting from March 10 11 am EST - March 24 10 am EST. Three people who reply to the tweet with the correct answer will get a $9.69 credit to their NameCheap account. Simple, isn't it :)

Here's an example:
1) NameCheap will send out a message in twitter that says, "How many pounds does the average human head weigh?"
2) You can then send a message back that says "@namecheap eight pounds".

The @ symbol puts it to our attention.  If you are the first to answer correctly, we will send $9.69 for a new domain or renewal directly into your NameCheap account.  Two others chosen at random will win domains as well.

How do I win and redeem my domains?

The first person to reply to the tweet with the correct answer will receive $9.69 credit to their NameCheap account. Two other domain winners will be picked at random, so don't give up if you aren't the first.  We will announce the winners and answers on Twitter. To claim the credit, you should link your NameCheap account to your twitter account and it is simple.

• Login to your NameCheap Account (if you don't have a NameCheap account, you can simply create one at https://www.namecheap.com/signup.aspx -- no credit card necessary)
• After you login, go to 'My Account' > 'Manage Profile'  and then choose 'Twitter Integeration' link on the left (https://www.namecheap.com/myaccount/modify-profile-twitter.asp)
• Enter your twitter username and click 'Verify'
• A short code will be sent from NameCheap to your twitter account using a direct message (a message that no one else other than you could see). Note: Unless you follow us we will not be able to send you that code. (There is another option available for validation that will be shown on the integration page as well.)
• Enter the code on the confirmation page and you are all set with linking the accounts.
• Once linked, you will see a credit on your NameCheap account within few hours after your winning. You will be able to register domains, purchase WhoisGuard, or save up to hosting or SSL registrations.
  

Rules

• To encourage more participants to play, each contestant can win only one domain per day Remember though -- to be considered for the Dell Mini, it is to your advantage to keep playing.
• Anyone caught using bots to game the contest will be automatically disqualified from this and all subsequent contests.  This is supposed to be fun for everyone.
