Every day from Monday 16th to Friday 20th of July visitors to Easyspace’s web sites will have the chance to win an Easyspace 10 Best Prize in a free prize draw.

Monday 16th - Total Film’s 10 Best Films of All Time on DVD
Tuesday 17th - Rolling Stone’s 10 Best Albums of All Time on CD
Wednesday 18th - BBC’s The Big Read 10 Best Books of All Time
Thursday 19th - 10 Best Wii Games
Friday 20th - Signed Shirts from the Best 10s of all Time - Pele & Maradona

Sarah Haran, Easyspace’s Managing Director, stated: “We wanted to launch our 10^th Anniversary celebrations with something that was fun and different. When we started out back in 1997, we were the UK’s first ICANN registrar and our main line of business was domain name management. Over the past decade we have significantly grown our business to include operating our own data centres and managing complex hosting for enterprises, but the domain name was where we started.”

Sarah continued: “We were recently named as one of the world’s Top 10 Domain Registrars and inclusion in this list provided us with the creative catalyst for our competition. The 10 Best/Top 10 theme appeared an appropriate way to recognise both our anniversary year and our origins”.

Phil Worms, Head of Marketing, added: “The biggest challenge for us in creating the promotion was to determine the actual Best 10’s to use. We felt pretty comfortable with the Rolling Stone, Total Film & The BBC lists, but found that the most heated office debate centred on who was the Greatest Footballer to wear the Number 10? Pele or Maradona? In the end we decided that we couldn’t split the two legends, so we managed to procure a signed shirt from each player.”

Sarah added: “We don’t intend to stop with this launch competition; we will be offering promotions, special offers and more competitions throughout our 10^th year.”

Entry to the prize draw is completely free and no purchase is necessary.
