UPDATES: See below for contest updates! To confirm contest codes and the amounts or discounts they offer, use our shopping cart. We've revealed all 15% off promo codes on our blog, so if you've got one that isn't one of those, you know you've got a higher-discount code! (And remember: with our 6THBIRTHDAY code applied automatically, that makes the savings 40-75% OFF!)

The Contest

We've scattered 25 different promotional codes throughout this website for you to explore and find, using a variety of techniques of wildly differing complexity.

Most are relatively easy to find, and are redeemable for a percentage off our website hosting services on checkout, but we've added a few that we hope are both difficult to find, as well as thoroughly worth the effort when you do!

Grand Prizes

Our Winner who finds the Grand Prize code will be given FIVE YEARS FREE on our Premium Personal Website Hosting service. (a $1200 value!)

Our Runner-Up who finds the 2nd Place code will be given TWO YEARS FREE on our Premium Personal Website Hosting service. (a $528 value!) This code was discovered on January 8 by Kevin P. of Columbus Ohio. Congratulations, Kevin!

Our final runner-up who finds the 3rd Place code will be given ONE YEAR FREE on our Premium Personal Website Hosting service. (a $276 value!) Congrats to Zach R. of Ann Arbor, Michigan, who submitted the code IMSORRYDAVE to win the 2nd Runner Up prize!

Honorable Mention goes to the first person to collect ALL 25 codes and send them in one list to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . They'll receive 6 months' free Premium Personal Website Hosting. (a $144 value!)

Save big with HUGE discounts!

For everyone else, we've scattered a number of codes worth between 15-50% off throughout the site. Some are almost right in the open, but others are nearly as hard to find as our big prize winners! Most of these codes are limited to a certain number of uses, so they'll "run-out" as the search wears on! Plus, our special 6THBIRTHDAY promo code is automatically applied at checkout, making the maximum savings a whopping 75%!

Get your own Promo Code and GET PAID!

With our Promo Code promotion now going into full swing, we've decided to add a wrinkle: Athena Internet customers with greater than a month-to-month plan at any level can ADD their OWN promo codes good for 15% off, which we will bury in a secret location on the site. You can publicize the code or contest any way you wish, and any time your code gets used by a subsequent (paying) customer, you will be eligible for 10% of the initial invoice or $10, whichever is greater, paid directly to your PayPal, right then and there.

A FEW RULES...

1.) Free service prizes valid only for citizens of the United States, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom. NO EXCEPTIONS.

2.) Free service prizes valid only for new personal website hosting customers. Reseller customers and Business Class or Enterprise customers are not eligible. NO EXCEPTIONS. The Promotional Codes valid for percentages off our prices are open to ALL customers, including Business Class and Enterprise customers.

3.) Attempts to hack to victory by compromising the security of the server on which this website resides or any associated servers or systems will result in immediate disqualification and criminal prosecution. Besides, hacking is entirely unnecessary to find the codes. All that is required is a flexible mind or some patience. We'll give you this clue: every single one of them are on this domain (athenainternet.com) in one form or another, on regular HTTP and not HTTPS. Some codes are tougher to find than others and may require you to do a little outside research, sleuthing, or mental calisthenics. You're up to the task, aren't you?

4.) As Promo Codes are discovered and/or exhausted, a running tally with winners' first names and last initial shall be kept at http://www.athenainternet.com/blog. Clues may be offered by Athena Internet on its official blog on an irregular schedule and at its own discretion to aid in the hunt, as needed.

5.) Contest ends February 28, 2010, or when all applicable promo codes have been discovered, whichever comes first.

6.) For the purposes of this contest, prizes have no cash value, and "winnings" are only granted as the prizes stated. No substitutions; prizes are non-negotiable and non-transferable. Prize claims are validated on a first-come, first-serve basis. Limit one prizewinner per household.

7.) No purchase is required to redeem top four awards. If you have --or think you have-- a winning code, or the complete list of 25, you may e-mail us at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it to confirm, and if you're a winner, you'll be provided your prize hosting space immediately.

8.) By participating in this promotion, customers agree that their first name and last initial will be listed as "prizewinners" on our blog post covering the promotion.

9.) Prizewinners subject to Terms of Service, Acceptable Use Policy, and applicable United States laws, and no consideration shall be given if violation of such results in disconnection of service.
