FatCow customer Supports via Twitter

FatCow. Twitter. What comes into your mind when I relate these two names?

Another hard-selling marketing campaign?

At least this was in my thought at first.

Apparently I was dead wrong. The Moo Crews are a lot smarter than this and instead of tweeting pushy advertising lines, they are now establishing two-way communications with customers on Twitter. I see Moo Crews answering pre-sell questions, supporting existing customers, interacting with bunch of other Twitters, and releasing meaningful company updates.

It’s good to see FatCow adapting itself well into the latest web trend. This (indirectly) shows the web host is ‘alive’ and dedicated to improve its user experience.

FatCow’s Free Farm-Fresh Web Icons

Good news for lazy web developers looking for some free stuffs. FatCow is releasing a set of freshly designed web icons. The set of 1,000 icons comes in both 16 and 32 pixel versions in PNG format with transparent background (Gosh, I don’t need to search for free icons for a very long time after this).

Hostgator VPS hosting is here!

class="border" alt="Hostgator VPS hosting plan" src="http://www.webhostingsecretrevealed.net/images/2009/1105-1.jpg" width="750" />

Hostgator announced the soft launch of Linux VPS hosting packages in late October.

Only the first 200 clients were accepted for the soft launch and the VPS deal is now closed at this time of writing. Nevertheless according to the officials, the final release will be happening in a couple of weeks and I expect this to be something big.

The VPS hosting plan will works as an ideal bridge for current Hostgator shared hosting users before crossing to dedicated hosting. The VPS hosting plan can be completely customized to match users’ specific needs and upgraded anytime as the websites grow.

Meet Snappy – Hostgator Mascot

If you had been to the local Houston Astros game recently, you would have met Snappy the Gator, Hostgator Mascot. Snappy made his debut by throwing an opening pitch at local Houston Astros game a few weeks back (see picture on your right).

Pretty cool, huh?

Well I mean, you don’t see such publicity often with a hosting company and you credit has to be given for their creativity.

Hostgator hits 200,000!

Back in September 10th, Hostgator CEO Brent announced Hostgator’s new milestone of 200,000 active customers in his href="http://blog.hostgator.com/2009/09/10/200000-web-hosting-clients-and-climbing/" target="_blank">blogpost.

It’s amazing to see how they started small with just about 100 customers in 2003; and turned into such a successful company in such a short time. The article is an interesting read and I like what Brent said about the future of Hostgator:

The Future of HostGator:
I still haven’t reached my goal of HostGator becoming the world’s largest hosting company, but as one of the world’s largest and with how well things have been going, I can definitely see it happening within the next eight years. In order to achieve this, we’ll need to go more mainstream. This includes launching a brand to compete with GoDaddy, more billboards, starting TV commercials, and hiring many, many more high quality employees to continue supporting our customers.
HostGator has been a real blessing in my life and I couldn’t have gotten us to where we are today alone. I owe much of HostGator’s success to our customers as well as to each and every employee who has put their heart and sweat into this company. If it weren’t for all of you, I would most likely have to return to college. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

WebHostingSecretRevealed.com is now on Hostgator!

Here’s another updates that’s related to Hostgator indirectly, WebHostingSecretRevealed.com is now hosting on Hostgator! We were once on Hostmonster but there were some major issues with the hosting service href="http://www.webhostingsecretrevealed.net/blog/featured-articles/bluehost-hostmonster-user-alert-cpu-throttling/">(CPU throttling); and, I think it would be better if I just switch host.

Everything works perfectly well after the move and I am happy as ever with what I get at Hostgator. You can learn more about them in my href="http://www.webhostingsecretrevealed.net/blog/featured-articles/10-questions-with-hostgator/">interview with Douglas Hanna and my href="http://www.webhostingsecretrevealed.net/hosting-review/hostgator/">Hostgator review.

As for Hostmonster, they are still throttling my CPU usage on a daily basis – even I’m just hosting two dummy blogs with almost no visitors on them now (I guess that’s enough said).
