In case you haven’t heard, ServerHub is hosting a wonderful giveaway for our community! You can win a TV, an Igloo Sportsman cooler, a Roku Express, or ServerHub account credit.
As you can tell, our theme is Superbowl LVII. Personally, I hoped my Detroit Lions would be deeper in the hunt, but Dan Campbell and the boys made great strides. No Lions, but it’s a pretty solid game this year between Kansas City and Philadelphia.
Who do you think is going to win? If I had to bet, I’d put my money on Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes. But your prediction is as good as mine.
Except we’ll bribe you for yours. Vote in the poll below and five second after you see the results you’ll be redirected to a page where you can enter a secret code for 5 bonus entries in the giveaway!
Good luck and thanks to ServerHub for sponsoring this awesome giveaway. If you’re looking for a VPS or dedicated server, check their page and deploy in one of 11 datacenters around the world for less than you’d pay at DigitalOcean.

What is a VPS?
"VPS" stands for virtual private server, and means a virtual software instance running within a physical computer server. A virtual private server works like a dedicated physical server but relies on a virtualized software engine referred to as a "hypervisor" to provide the interface between the physical server and the virtual instance (aka "vps").
Why do I want a VPS?
By choosing a "VPS" you are using a sliver of a physical dedicated server, which means lower costs, because you are only utilizing a piece of the physical capacities of the underlying server. Additionally, VPS plans often provide easy migration from location to location and server to server along with being able to upgrade or downgrade your resources with only a few clicks (rather than having to change physical server components).
