Employee Referral Program
Written by Justin on January 16, 2008 – 8:47 pm -
HostGator is growing at a phenomenal rate. With the growth of more customers, this means that we need more qualified web hosting support technicians. With this in mind we have put together a system that will help us to build upon the current HostGator team as well as provide an incentive for persons like yourself that can help us find the right people for the job. Everybody wins here. An employee for us, cash for you, and a new job for someone in a fun working environment.
Let me tell you a little about how it is working at HostGator so you can have some good information to provide your referrals. HostGator is a fast paced but relaxed environment. We had a previous post called “Office Tour“, which gives you a little bit of an idea of what things look like inside the HostGator building. There is a Pool table, workout room, Air Hockey, and Ping pong table which is my favorite! We also have company paid events regularly, and free food for employees as well throughout the week. Full time employees receive full health benefit options as well after 90 days of employment.
Ok, so now that I have given you the details about the great perks of working here, now would be a really good time for you to think of anyone you may know that has some of the skills we are looking for, and have them fill out a job application with us. The requirements for the employee referral are very short and simple, so here below are the few requirements.
1. They must be able to legally work in our Houston Headquarters.
2. They must be employed for 90 days in order to be paid.
3. You must fill out the below referral form before their first interview.
4. You cannot refer yourself.
If you didnt pick up the link earlier on this post, click HERE to get started with your referral program and make some extra cash!

Remote Control Helicopter Madness
Written by Justin G on January 11, 2008 – 10:04 pm -Everybody at HostGator received a remote control helicopter, which was really cool. It takes some getting used to to learn how to fly them though, thats for sure. After charging all the helicopters, and then lining up as many as we could, we were ready to fly. But wait, out of no where comes Brian our HostGator.com Web developer who decides to play Choreographer today. I guess Brian had some inspiration or something, because he was trying to apply his Web skills to flying little remote control helicopters. This was taking way too long, but it was fun none the less.
Ok, it was time to fly some helicopters. We knew that once they got off the ground that there was no way we could keep them from crashing, but we gave it our best anyways. If these were real helicopters we would have done millions of dollars in damage, but we settled for the next best thing and just crashed a bunch of Havoc Heli Air-Hogs. Heres the videos below, enjoy!!

Blog Awards And Your Votes
Written by Justin G on January 10, 2008 – 2:03 pm -
I’m sure if you read more than several blogs you may have seen the logo thats in the top right corner of this blog right now. The bloggers choice awards are given for the top blogs of multiple categories. The bloggers choice awards can give you some nice exposure as a blogger as well as give you something to gloat about if you win. Its pretty much the Oscar award of blogging so to speak.
Besides the Bloggers Choice awards, there are other awards for bloggers as well. I thought I might put together a few of the other prominent ones for those of you who not only read the HostGator blog, but blog yourself as well.
Since I have started writing for the blog, I have gotten a chance to get to know some really cool people a bit better and read over others blogs that have great content. We always appreciate your support, and especially from you feed readers that are subscribed. I thought it would be good to get involved with the Bloggers Choice awards now that things have gotten on a roll, and so I have added a nomination link for it as I mentioned earlier in the top right corner.
If you enjoy reading this blog then feel free to vote for it. Also, tell me what blog you have that might be nominated for a particular subject. I would be more than happy to check it out and vote for yours as well. We have a lot of fun things coming up to post about, so stay tuned, and if you haven’t joined our feed I would encourage you to.

Video Games Guinness Book Of World Records
Written by Justin G on January 9, 2008 – 3:39 pm -
Ok, so this caught my eye today. I am not the hugest game fan out there, but who wouldn’t like to know what the official fastest time is for beating Super Mario Brothers? Or the highest score ever for the Original Arcade Donkey Kong game? Well now you can get all official, with the Video Games Guinness Book of World Records, which covers everything from Mario to Halo and beyond.
Thats because this year for the first time the Guinness Book of World Records will be publishing a book of Video games records only. Better work on your gaming skills!
As I was thinking about all those gamers out there setting records, I thought it would be cool for HostGator to have a record holder for something. We have a pretty good group of people working here that like to play online games. So what could a record be set for?
Guinness Book has some guidelines that have to be followed, and not every submission for a record is accepted. If you prepare to submit an application, you will find that actually a majority of things they receive are declined. However, there just might be a chance that we could set a record for some game from either past or present that could have enough bearing to get in the Video Games Guinness Book. It really doesn’t have to be a game either. Maybe we could have a game theme or something else that could land us a cool spot.
Either way, If you have suggestions for what you think could be make it into the Video Games Guinness Book of World Records either this year or the next, please feel free to comment and give us your feedback!
