Karen’s Opinion

It is time to get serious about blogging. You have put your thoughts in writing and want them to be there forever. How can you guarantee they won’t be wiped out? By having a blog on your own domain! You know it is what you need to do and what better time than now?

Right now, when you register your domain through the Netfirms domain registration service you will be entered into a contest to win a free iPod Touch or Macbook! Someone is going to win one of four iPod Touches or a Macbook through Netfirms contest. It might as well be you!

Simply twitter the following for your chance to win.

“Win a #free iPod Touch or Macbook from the @Netfirms #contest. Domain registration services via Twitter http://bit.ly/yJfJK”

OR

Register a domain name via the Netfirms Twitter Domain Registration service for $7.99.

One re-tweet equals one entry per day. One domain registered equals one entry.

Watch this video to see how easily it is to check out if the domain name you choose is available at Netfirms:

Netfirms makes it easy to manage your domain or multiple domains. You might go crazy and get domains for your children! It only takes a few minutes to have your domain set up and ready to use when you utilize Netfirms streamlined registration process.

When you use Netfirms service, you get

LOWEST priced 1-year .com anywhere
FREE Webmail Account
FREE Whois Privacy
Satisfaction Guaranteed

That means you get 1 free email account, 25MB for a Basic web page, and 24/7 support to name just a few of Netfirms services. Their website even has a chart that lets you see their services and prices and compare them with other domain service companies.

What are you waiting on? Start Twittering! I cannot wait to see all the re-tweets this is going to bring!

Here is the skinny on how it all comes down:

You send a Direct Message to Netfirms via Twitter asking us to register a domain name for you. If the domain name is available we will register it for you and automatically add it to your existing Netfirms Control Panel and bill to your current billing profile. The only prerequisite is that you add your Twitter username to your Netfirms Control Panel. Please visit our tutorial with full details on setting yourself up for domain registration via Twitter. The instructions should be completed once only and you’re good to go after that.

1. Log in to your Twitter account (You can use any of the available Twitter apps)
2. Send a dm to @netfirms with the following: reg mynewdomain.com
3. We will confirm by replying to you via dm at which point the domain will be added to your Netfirms Control Panel. The domain is now ready to be used.

I have a tendency to ramble so if the above is clear as mud, go to Netfirms contest and get detailed instructions.

Good luck everyone!
