Premiere Webhosting Magazine Unveils Web Hosting Makeover Contest

Denham Springs, LA, April 28, 2004 - Putting a unique, digital spin on the theme of makeovers is the goal of a Louisiana based company, who today unveiled their Webhost Makeover Contest. (www.webhostmakeover.com)

"I knew that many web hosting providers are able to provide technical excellence, but that isn't always matched by the look and feel of their sites," states Keith Duncan, Publisher, Editor and Co-Founder of Ping! Zine, the world's leading web hosting industry print magazine. "It occurred to me that one of the best ways to showcase our industry was to conduct a contest - modeled off the ever-popular concept of 'makeovers' -- that would allow us to totally transform a hosting company's website and services, from drab to dramatic."

There is certainly a great deal in store for the contest's lucky winner. The contest's Grand Prize consists of a complete site makeover, including client and billing management, dedicated servers, flash tutorials, live sales chat support, multiple ad design and marketing services, domain reselling, company branding . Prize Sponsors include HostSalesMan, Website Host Directory, Bocacom, Easy Server Management, Mindlash, Demo Demo, ModernBill, HostVoice, BannersMall, Hartland Communications, 2CheckOut and many more.

Adding an additional spin is that in this contest, creativity is the "currency" of exchange: winners will be selected based on their five-hundred-word-or-less essays, responding to the statement: "Why you deserve a Ping! Zine Web Host Makeover."

"We thought that rather than make the contest a random sweepstakes, we'd add another element," emphasizes Mr. Duncan. "We certainly will be looking for genuine, creative responses, and I suspect our entrants will not disappoint us."

Ping! Zine's contest, which opened April 19th, 2004 (web site address: www.webhostmakeover.com), is also offering a wide range of consolation prizes for runner-up contestants. All US-based hosting providers in business for more than three months are eligible to enter.

"We're proud to be a part of this truly unique, unprecedented contest," says Jim Thomas of Bocacom. "All of our team is looking forward to being a part of this digital makeover."
