Giving back with completely free web hosting.
Written by Douglas Hanna on September 29, 2008 – 1:13 pm -HostGator has a history and tradition of giving back. In the last year, we’ve donated over $125,000 to charity, actively worked towards offsetting and reversing our environmental impact, and given free or
discounted web hosting to a countless number of web sites.
Today, we’re moving forward with our commitment to the communities and the people we serve with the launch of the HostGator Technology Grant.
Recipients of the HostGator Technology Grant will receive one year of completely free web hosting with our Swamp Plan, which offers 1,000 GB of space and unlimited bandwidth. If the Swamp plan does not fit the needs of the particular recipient, they can opt to take the grant as a $180 service credit to any other HostGator product or service. After the one year of free service, grant recipients can re-apply and if accepted again, continue to use HostGator web hosting completely free.
The HostGator Technology Grant’s goal is simple and straightforward: provide free web hosting to organizations and projects that serve the greater good.
Obtaining legitimately free web hosting for nonprofits can be an arduous process. Organizations should be spending their time doing what they believe in and what they set out to do, not hunting for
affordable and quality web hosting.
The wide scope of the grant is intentional – we wanted it so all types of organizations that serve the greater good could take advantage of free HostGator web hosting. Whether your organization is nonprofit community center or a cutting edge open source project, we want to hear from you.
The application process for the HostGator Technology Grant is simple. There are just a few questions and it shouldn’t take an organization longer than 15 or 20 minutes to complete the short application. Click Here to APPLY
Once you’re all setup, then you can do your actual job and get back to doing what you love. We want to make the web hosting experience less troublesome and more convenient for everyone, including those who are seeking to better society through their organizations and projects.
If you have any questions about HostGator’s Technology Grant program, please go to http://www.hostgator.com/nonprofit-web-hosting.shtml or email techgrant@hostgator.com. We’re more than happy to help.

As we search for a new host it’s good to see you’re making a concerted effort to give back. It may well factor into our decision.

What a fantastic initiative. Brilliant idea! I signed up with HostGator on a whim a few weeks ago and the more I read the more I like. Keep up the great work!

This is great! I am wondering if the grant will be available for the Windows hosting when it is available.
Anyway, I will let our church know about this good news.

We are just finishing up the new website for the San Diego Ballet, a non-profit, and I’ll definitely apply! Thanks for this tip, I wasn’t able to find it on the regular Hostgator website!
