Dedicated Server Sale

Written by Tin Pham on June 25, 2008 – 9:18 am -

We are happy to announce that we are having a sale on a batch of servers that we had leftover. Some of you may remember these servers being our former Pro Dedicated offering. For those who are not familiar with these former Pro Dedicated specifications:

Processor: Intel Xeon Conroe 3060 server @ 2.4Ghz

Memory: 4GB DDR2

Hard Disk: 4 x 500GB SATA under RAID-10 configuration.

Monthly Bandwidth: 2,500GB @ 10mbps

IP Addresses: 10

OS: CentOS 4.6

Control Panel: cPanel/WHM 11 with Fantastico included.

Pricing: $350 per Month.

This is a great solution for those needing a high performance server with large data storage with redundancy. Under the RAID-10 configuration, risk of data loss would be minimized as the information is mirrored throughout all 4 hard drives. In case a hard drive fails, copies of your data should be stored on the remaining 3 hard drives. At the price of $350 per month, this server definitely provides the most bang for your buck.

This was a very popular dedicated solution when it debuted as our Pro Dedicated package, and we are very excited to be able to offer these servers to you once again. Please keep in mind that stock is limited and once we sell out, this offer will not be available for quite some time.

If you are interested in this offer, please email us at sales@hostgator.com and put it in attention to our Dedicated Sales Department.

Ok folks, I know you have been waiting for a while, and I have had a lot of you ask me when the new Windows hosting will be available? Well I am happy to let you know that now you can purchase a Windows dedicated server. First I want to say this is just the beginning of what we will be offering for Windows hosting, so stay tuned for further announcements.So what does having your own Dedicated Windows Server offer you? You will receive the latest Plesk 8 interface for setting up your website, email etc… The Windows environment will allow you to use ASP. You can choose which version will best fit your needs along with your choice of MSSQL, MYSQL, and Access database connections which will be available at all times for you to create and take advantage of simultaneously.

Do you need a server fast? Your Windows server will be provisioned, secured and delivered within 24 hours of purchase, and we will provide you with monthly server management at no additional cost.

So I have given you the scoop, and now I am offering the first 5 people that purchase a Windows dedicated server from reading this blog a $100 dollar discount on your first month purchase. In order to receive this dicount you must email me at jgarcia(at)hostgator.com.

This is a first come first serve deal and this discount may NOT be combined with other offers, so if you want to get your first month at a reduced price you better act quick before its over. I will give anyone who emails me for this deal a 24 hour window to complete the purchase, then I will offer it to the next person in line.

Dedicated Server Sale

Written by Chad Bean on November 13, 2007 – 10:52 pm -

Our data center gave us a great deal on a batch of servers and we have some leftovers. While supplies last, I’m offering these servers to our blog readers only. Below are the spec’s:

Processor: Intel Pentium D 3.40GHz
RAM: 2 GB
Hard Disk: 250 GB
Bandwidth: 1,500 GB (10mbps)
OS: CentOS 4.5 (linux)
Control Panel: cPanel/WHM with Fantastico

We’ll be selling these for just $174/mth with basic management. If you have a look at our dedicated server page, you’ll see that our normal $174/mth server is the Basic Dedicated server. For the same price you’ll get all the same features, plus better hardware. Basically this means 2x the RAM, and 3x the Hard Disk space with a much faster processor.

This is a blog only special. The stock is available on a first come, first serve basis. Offer valid for new and existing clients that do not already have a dedicated server with HostGator. After these are sold, we won’t be able to get this server again at this price.

If you’ve been interested in upgrading to a dedicated server, please email me chad (@) hostgator.com.
