Partner Merge
Our good partner, Erebus Hosting, has decided to merge with Dango Web Solutions. Erebus Hosting has offered cheap Bot and Game Hosting for our clients as well as theirs, however, they realized that the journey to becoming a web host is long, and have decided to merge with us. We welcome Erebus Hosting and its clients, and we will match all prices for customers.
Client DDoS Attacks
We have experienced hours of downtime this month due to DDoS attacks on clients. Our providers are working on upgrading their servers, and this should be completed by the end of the year. This upgrade should eliminate these issues and boost performance. If nothing changes after our provider upgrades their servers, we’ll switch to our new partner for hosting.
Halloween Promotions Event
Calling all graphic designers & creatives! This Halloween, we’re looking to increase advertising on social media. We need a few advertisements suitable for Instagram, X, Reddit, and Discord. In order to do so, we’ll be hosting a contest to see who can create the best advertisement cover images for us this season!
Advertisements must be Halloween-themed, orange-red-black colored, and spooky - but not too scary, we want to catch the viewers’ eyes, not scare them away. The advertisements must be in the form of a still image or short repeated (looped) animated photo and should include our business name, website, tagline, logo, etc. 3D images are recommended. Advertisements should not mention any other business.
To win the contest, you must enter and submit by Halloween night (10/31/23) - that’s 6 days from now! Winners will be selected by staff and will be rewarded with Dangos. As a reminder, 100 Dangos = $1.00 USD, and can only be redeemed on our Portal for our services. Prizes depend on the number of participants entered into the competition. Prizes are cut by 10 if less than 5 people enter, so invite your friends to join and start some competition! If we get over 5 participants, the top prize will be starting at 1500 Dangos!
1st Place ----- 1500 Dangos 2nd Place ---- 1400 Dangos 3rd Place ---- 1300 Dangos 4th Place ---- 1200 Dangos 5th Place ---- 1100 Dangos 6th Place ---- 1000 Dangos 7th Place ----- 500 Dangos 8th Place ----- 250 Dangos 9th Place ----- 100 Dangos 10th Place ----- 50 Dangos
Each of your submitted works counts as its own entry - if you submit over 10 amazing pieces and win all 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th places, you’ll win 8400 Dangos! That’s equivalent to $84.00 USD!
We look forward to all the entries! Good luck to all, and we hope you have fun designing for us this Halloween!
