I won a years free hosting!

.. with EcoHosting, the 'carbon neutral' hosting company. No, I have no idea how a web hosting company can be carbon neutral - plant a tree for every gig of !!!!!! downloaded, maybe?

At first I thought it was a scam, but then I remembered actually entering the competition, and have the top range hosting package with 20gb hosting and up to 24gb bandwidth a month. I double checked to make sure there's no credit card details required or such I've been thinking of putting up a website to hold my own random stuff for a while, and this fits the bill.

    Or not. It turns out that while the hosting is free, you need to pay for the domain. And while I don't have a problem as such with that, they only take PayPal. I don't have a PayPal account, and I won't be getting one. Damn.

    EDIT: They do apparently take personal cheque, so I may email them and ask them how the heck I'd work that.
