You may already know that I maintain a few websites...

My hosting company of choice is called SiteSell and I have

They recently announced to their customer base a competition
where they could submit a video about why SiteSell is so
different to any other website hosting company out there.

The 10,000 dollar prize was quite an incentive!

Here are some of the best videos that were submitted, be
