I’ve waited for over 3 weeks to see if there’s anybody else would send their contest entries, sadly nobody did. So as I wrote in my earlier post, this will be the last draw for the contest due to the lack of participation. The contest is now officially closed.

I guess it’s about time anyway as the contest iwas losing its momentum, a signal that the end is near. Up till today, it has attracted over 35 entries from various blogs including JohnChow.com. OK, I have to admit that I paid John US400 to give this contest a mention in his blog but that still counts as an entry

Most of my regular readers probably know that I was running a contest where I gave away free domain names and free WordPress hosting for life.

I know I haven’t been posting any update about it for a while. So in case you are wondering, the contest is still up and running at the moment. So far I’ve given away six domain names and one free hosting – yes the hosting is free for life.

The next draw will take place once I’ve received enough entries for Group 7. Here are the entries so far.

It’s taking a while, about three weeks to be exact, to collect enough entries to start the draw for group 6. While I’ve noticed more bloggers writing a review for the contest, I can only consider those who have emailed me directly about their review.

So if you have written a review but haven’t been entered, please email me and tell me about it.

Without further ado, here are the 5 entries for group 6, sorted by time received.

1. Aczafra.com
2. Wayan Wandira
3. xBrain.biz
4. Jamez Z
5. SkorCareer.com.my

I am excited to announce the first winner for the free WordPress Hosting for life contest.

Before that, I’d like to thanks all those who have entered. Even if you don’t win, you get a permanent linkback from a PageRank 5 blog.

Just to reiterate the rules of the free WordPress blog hosting to refresh our memory

1. The free hosting will remain as long as I am able to retain my dedicated server - meaning as long as I am in business
2. The free hosting is strictly for WordPress blog hosting only. It must be a brand new blog setup.

I have enough entries for Group 5 to start a draw for the free domain name winner. The winner from this draw will then be entered into another draw together with the previous four domain name winners to win the free WordPress hosting for life.

Without further ado, here are the 5 entries for group 5.

1. Blogosquare.com
2. Now China
3. Kinabalu Blog
4. John Chow
5. UrbanWorkbench

As usually, I’ve asked my assistance to pick a winner using a random number generator software.

The free domain name goes to …

If you have been reading my blog for any length of time, you might already know that I’ve been running a contest since May. However, some of you, especially the new readers may not be aware that the contest is still going on.

So this post is to let everyone know that I am still accepting entries. So far, I’ve received three four entries for Group 5.

This is probably the best prize for a contest that John Chow has offered so far in a string of contests held over at JohnChow.com

Then send an email with the URL of your entry to him. The contest ends on 31st July 2007 and winner will be selected on 1st August.

I was contacted by Fauzi of CypherHackz.Net where he informed me about a contest he is currently running at his blog.

There is currently one entry in Group 5 and I’ll need four more. If you want the chance to win a free domain and free Wordpress hosting for life, send your entry now.

I’d just like to let you know that I’ve made some changes to Sabahan.com contest rules. The following entries have been added into the review rules
