Namecheap Super Weekend Trivia Contest - Free Domains Every Hour!

What is Twitter?

Twitter is a free online service that lets people communicate and connect with one another. Twitter asks you “What’s happening?” and relies on you to answer that question in a 140-character area. Through Twitter, you can connect with long lost friends, your favorite domain name registrar, or find new friends. Twitter can be accessed from a web browser, a mobile phone, or anywhere you are. Learn more about Twitter from this video or this introductory post from Zappos here.

Participation is simple.

Participation in our Super Weekend Trivia contest is simple! Sign up for a Twitter account (https://twitter.com/signup) and then follow us http://twitter.namecheap.com/ (our username is @namecheap). We will be posting a trivia question every hour from February 5th through February 6th (beginning midnight on February 5th, Eastern Time, -0500 GMT), but this time, the question can be asked at any time during the hour! Eight people who reply to the tweet with the correct answer gets a $10.16 credit to their Namecheap account. It's really that easy.

Here's an example:

1. Namecheap (@namecheap) will send out a Tweet (that is a Twitter message) saying “I always thirst, yet never hunger. I wear a hat in the summer heat, but when the cold winds blow, my head is bare. What am I?"
2. You must prefix your answer on Twitter with @namecheap, so you'd respond with "@namecheap a tree".

The @ symbol brings the message to our attention. If that's not present, we won't see it! BUT wait, it's different this time around! If you're one of the first six people to answer correctly, we will send $10.16 for a new domain or renewal directly into your Namecheap account. Two other winners chosen at random will win the $10.16 domain name credit as well.

As a note, we have taken great care in covering every possible answer possibility. We are limited to Twitter’s toolset and will award domain credits and points accordingly. Answers that do not follow the outlined conventions may not be collected and points will not be awarded.

How do I win and redeem my domains?

If you are one of the first six people to answer correctly*, we will send $10.16 for a new domain or renewal directly into your Namecheap account. Two other winners chosen at random will win the $10.16 domain name credit as well, so don’t give up if you’re not the first!

* You are only eligible to win a domain once per day based on the EST timezone. (Therefore, yes, you can win on the 23:00 hour and then again at 00:00!).

We will then announce the winners and answers on Twitter.

To claim the credit, you should link your Namecheap account to your twitter account. That process is simple:

Here's how:

• Log into your NameCheap account (if you don’t have one, you can create one for free at https://www.namecheap.com/myacocunt/signup.aspx - there is no credit card necessary).
• After you log in, go to ‘My Account’ > ‘Manage Profile’ and choose the “Twitter integration” link on the left (https://manage.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 but you could see). Note: unless you follow us (@namecheap) on Twitter, 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. That will complete the integration process.
• Once linked, you’ll see a credit on your NameCheap account within a few hours after your winning. You’ll be able to register domains, purchase WhoisGuard, or save up for hosting or SSL certificates.

If you have changed your Twitter name and need to update it in our system, please open a support ticket and someone will be able to help you.
