For those who don’t know, VentraIP is an Australian Web Hosting company who has been hosting my websites (including this one) for over one year, and compared to my previous host, 500% better, if not more. Their customer service is excellent, which you will usually get a responses within 15 minutes, and sometimes even less (3 replies with 40 seconds sometimes too). Other great things about VentraIP include:
- Their network and hardware is top notch
- Staff and owners personally interact with customers on both a professional and social level, and even invite customers to VentraIP team parties, and many more great things.
- They also have huge promotional days, giving away free web hosting, SSL certificates and offer the cheapest price on .com.au domain names that I have ever seen.
The reason for this post is that a few weeks ago, VentraIP had a promotional day giving away free things, and I was lucky enough to win something from them.
The game was called “secrete sound” in which you had to listen to this MP3 file and guess the sound. The first person to guess correctly won an AFL Supporters pack for their favourite team, and for me that is the Brisbane Lions.
A few days ago it arrived, which I incidentally had trouble collecting as it was addressed to them but too my address (Opps). Nevertheless, I finally collected it and the AFL Supporters pack contained:
- A Beanie
- Jersey
- Stubby Holder
- Lions Monkey (which is quite cute, but would have thought it would be a lion not a monkey)
- 2 Face washers
- A plush football
- And the receipted (which the total cost was well over what I thought it would be!)
So VentraIP, thank you very much for the prize and it can go with my signed Brisbane Lions framed poster of their 2003 premiership win.

Ps. I didn’t post what the answer was to the secrete sound as I thought it would be fun for you to try to guess what it is if you didn’t get a chance to play (although I don’t have a prize for you).
