Gator Happenings

Hi,

HostGator is proud to announce that we have been recognized by About.com's web design community as the Best in Reseller Hosting, Cheap or Free Web Hosting, and Best Linux/UNIX web hosting provider for their 2010 Reader's Choice Awards. We appreciate all of you as our customers coming forward to nominate us during the initial rounds of voting and then to again take the time and effort to select us from our competition. Without you we couldn't have managed to take such prestigious awards from About.com.

HostGator Windows Beta

Did you know we are beta testing a Windows shared program? Any active HostGator client is eligible to participate at no cost. Windows beta accounts provide the following:

Domains: 5
Subdomains: Unlimited
Disk Space: Unlimited
Bandwidth: Unlimited
MySQL Db: 5
MySQL Db Quota: 5000MB
MSSQL Db: 5
MSSQL Db Quota: 5000MB
Mail Accounts: Unlimited
IPs: 1 shared
ASP .NET 2 , 3 , 3.5
ASP 7.5
PHP 5.2.12 CGI / FastCGI / Isapi

If you've ever wanted to test out Windows based hosting or just play around with ASP .NET this is the perfect opportunity. We require that you have a domain or sub-domain resolving to your beta account and the account needs to be actually doing something such as displaying a page or using resources in order to remain active. Please understand that this is a beta program and should be used for testing only. This program is subject to end at any time.

You can apply by e-mailing windows@hostgator.com with the subject line “Requesting Windows Beta Account.” Please be sure to include the primary domain on your existing HostGator account in the body of the message. We are only accepting a limited number of applicants, so apply quickly before open spots run out.

3 for 1 VOIPo Special

For a limited time, VOIPo is offering HostGator customers a package of 3 services for the price of 1. Just order a VOIPo phone service package (unlimited calling to US/Canada starting at $8.25 per month) and get these services free:

1.) FREE Toll-Free Number (Just Pay for Minutes Used)
2.) FREE Fax Account

This is a great way to save some money and have all your communications needs covered. Statistics show that having toll-free and fax numbers can drastically increase your sales.

Since both of the free services offered normally sell for $4.95 per month each, this is a VERY limited promotion and will end soon. To take advantage of this, you must use coupon code GATORPACK when ordering VOIPo phone service. Visit the VOIPo forum post for complete details.
