Dotster $0.50 domain sale

[Michau]

I got this in the email:

Today from 5pm - 6pm Eastern Standard Time, Dotster will give away coupons to register a new .com, .net or .org domain for 50 cents to the first 1000 customers. There will be only 1 coupon allowed per customer.
This is the second of Dotster's "Happy Hour" promotions.

Thanks Michal!



I have to admit to being quite disappointed about their original happy hour because of the incredible lag of the servers but at least 1000 people were happy and the same will probably be true the second time around.



Thanks,
Kimmy

After their first happy hour I can only say "Dotster Who?"

Interestingly marketing technique, but I have not regged any domains there and probably will not in the future. Thanks for the post though.

[Silhouette]

Once bitten... twice shy...

NO WAY... knocking off...

What does that mean?

What does that mean?

A month or so ago this say company(Dotster) did a $1 happy hour promo. That hour was anything but happy for those trying to get domains that cheap.
Dotster loses money on all the domains(1,000) registered during that time but thinks all the talk will help them in the long run- at least thats my take.

 

[Silhouette]

What does that mean?

me?
oh sorry....i mean.. their server had problem coping with the massive crowd during their last round's happy hour... I ended up wasting my 1 whole hour refreshing my screen.... NOT even 1 name registered in that hour.... or is it just me??

peace

Hmm, well do you think you can register before this time period and then have things all ready to go so that you don't have as many pages to load?

I think Dotser is best at creating a buzz than they are at actuallly following through with a promotion.
