Jul 25, 2006 : Dotster Hosts Happy Hour Promotion

📅 July 25, 2006 - Domain registrar and Web hosting provider (dotster.com ) announced on Monday it is holding its tenth virtual "Happy Hour" event scheduled for July 26. Beginning at 4:00 pm EST, visitors to Dotster's Web site will receive a coupon code valid between July 27 and July 31 to purchase any single, new .COM, .NET, or .ORG domain for $1.

The hosting company will prominently feature the "Happy Hour Countdown Clock" on its homepage during the promotion. The coupon system limits customers to one domain at the discounted rate, with a total of 1,000 coupons available during the hour.

The "Dollar Domain" event first drew attention in February when online bloggers leaked the details of the event, resulting in a significant spike in Web site traffic for the company.

"With the price set at a dollar, there's very little risk in picking up that domain name you've been kicking around in your head," says Marci Hansen, marketing director for Dotster. "Some customers select domains I like to call 'oh-what-the-heck' names: things like happybirthdayjames.com and ducttapeandbubblegum.com."
