Windows Dedicated Web Hosting
Written by Justin on January 18, 2008 – 5:28 pm -
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.

Special offer on HostGator Dedicated Servers
Written by Jay Weissman on May 7, 2007 – 3:04 pm -I have just been informed by Brent that there are some big Dedicated Server promotions going on right now, and I thought this would be a great time to start letting you guys know about these things!
As seen on http://www.hostgator.com/dedicated.shtml there are a few changes!
First, starting today any new BASIC server will receive two free months of service on top of the first month of payment. That is three months of service, for the price of one!
That means if you sign up for a BASIC dedicated server today, you would not have to pay again until August 4th of 2007. That is three months of service, for the price of one. If you can find any other host in the industry that would offer something like this please let me know.
* Note that this is applicable to new servers only. Existing customers must sign up for a new server for this offer to apply. This offer does not apply to upgrades. This offer expires on 5/10/07. This offer has expired!
Second, our PRO server now comes with a choice of two configurations at signup. This will apply to all new servers, or servers that have not yet been set up and turned online. Your two options are;
At signup you can choose which setup you want in the server details. If you specify neither, you will be given 4 gigs of RAM and 4×500GIG Hard Drives by default.
This is a really great chance for any of you who are on the edge about getting a Dedicated Server, and should give you plenty of time to get things running smooth and bring in enough income to cover the cost. If you already have a Dedicated Server with us, you may want to look into moving to one of our powerhouse PRO’s. They’ll likely last you a very long time!
Hope you all enjoy the new setups, feel free to comment here or see our discussion at… the HostGator Forums.
