Gator Art and Song

Admin May 15, 2012 Advice 0


We are fortunate sufficient to have some extremely loyal followers who like to show their appreciation in unusual and creative ways.  This goes all the way back to the early days of HostGator, when none other than crunk rapper Lil Jon offered to introduce Brent to some ladies at his show in Florida, in appreciation for Brent having personally assisted him with some technical troubles.  Another random caller once supplied to send Brent some weed, through the US Postal Service for the exact same reason.  For the record, both of these provides had been respectfully declined.  These days, it’s not terribly unusual to obtain the occasional gift basket at the workplace, but please no more delivers of groupies or drugs.

Right here’s a couple examples of the art we’ve received:

Far more lately, a Buyer named Richard called us up for some assistance on his account and ended up singing us a song he wrote by the name of “GatorBill Me.”  The recording of the call is posted below along with the lyrics. By way of explanation, the acronym “PSR” stands for Preferred Help Representatives Richard’s term for our Jr. Admins.  With no additional ado, please enjoy:

&nbsp

GatorBill Me

&nbsp

&nbsp

I love my webhost
I adore my VPS
Just like I adore my mom
And I really like my PSRs at my host
They teach me “how to host”

But finest of all
I love the hosting HostGator gives me
Don’t speak shut up
Just GatorBill me
‘Cause I’m feeling type of creative today
And the business plan makes it easier

My PSRs are great
All they do is support and they encourage me
And I enjoy the Aid desk
They’re often offered
Even on Christmas day.

But greatest of all
I enjoy the hosting HostGator provides me
Don’t speak shut up
Just GatorBill me
‘Cause I’m feeling type of inventive right now
And the reseller plans tends to make it easier

Far better off on a VPS
Than to use the shared program
The control, the ease, the price tag
Host my website on Gator server one particular

I really like the hosting HostGator provides me
Don’t talk shut up
Just GatorBill me
‘Cause I’m feeling kind of creative today
And the dedis program tends to make it simpler

QuickInstall!

QuickInstall!

&nbsp

If you’d like to hear some much more “GatorBill Me,” Richard also sent us an .mp3 that he recorded himself:

&nbsp

&nbsp

This saga does not finish here. Getting been inspired by “GatorBill Me,” a certain HostGator employee, who has requested to stay anonymous, decided to pen their own Gator song as effectively. Though a recording of this does not exist at this time, possibly sufficient public outcry could convince this employee to grace us with a recorded version of their song:

CISPA Must Die!

Admin May 7, 2012 Advice 0


We’ve been having a lot of enjoyable with our blog lately, and we guarantee to continue to do so.  Nonetheless, we need to address some severe enterprise as soon as yet again.  Back in December, we posted about SOPA.  That beast has changed types, returned and is now attacking much more forcefully.  CISPA (Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act, aka H.R. 3523) was passed by the United Stated Property of Representatives on April 26th, by a vote of 248 to 168.

Ostensibly, CISPA exists to “help the U.S Government investigate cyber threats and ensure the security of networks against cyber attack.”  Nevertheless, this wolf in sheep’s clothes also makes it possible for total, unfettered access to your on-line activities without regard to current privacy laws, offered the government suspects you of having committed some sort of cyber crime.  Criminals should completely be investigated, prosecuted and punished if identified guilty.  However, the scope of this bill is far too broad to be an efficient piece of legislation and lacks any clear parameters as to what would constitute a justifiable suspicion, or when and how the government can monitor your net browsing info essentially making all of us possible suspects, guilty till confirmed innocent.

Representative Jared Polis, a Colorado Democrat and onetime net entrepreneur, stated during the debate that ”allowing the military and NSA to spy on Americans on American soil goes against every single principle this country was founded on,” and that CISPA would “…waive each and every single privacy law ever enacted in the name of cybersecurity.”

The author of CISPA, Representative Mike Rogers (R – Michigan) responded by asking his colleagues to ignore “all the items they’re saying about the bill that are not accurate.”  That statement itself is curiously representative of the bill and an excellent instance of stereotypical politician-speak it moves towards the desired aim without having identifying any parameters or setting any limitations.

The ACLU and Mozilla have both spoken out against CISPA, and the Obama administration has therefore far maintained that it would veto the bill, due to it lacking confidentiality and civil liberties safeguards.  Nonetheless, this fight is not over.  We at HostGator still extremely a lot support an Net whereby free info and the unhindered distribution of said information is an unalienable human appropriate we do not want to lose this proper, signed away as portion of a malformed and ultimately counter-productive piece of legislation.

Please contact your Congressional Representative and let them know how you feel on this critical situation.  Vote no on CISPA!

An Intruder

Admin May 1, 2012 Advice 0


Lately, HostGator began our transition into a new creating in Houston.  Presently, we occupy two floors whilst the remaining floors continue to be built out.  Our Houston buildings are only a brief distance apart, in fact you can see every single from the other.  The geography makes it convenient to dispatch teams from 1 creating to the other, as required.  Even though we’ve been executing practice drills of this nature for many years, some of us veterans had grown complacent, thinking there would by no means be any true need to have to physical exercise our finely-honed emergency-response skills.

As explained in the recent Internet Speak post, a single of the primary indicates of inter-workplace communication is via instant message and conference rooms.  The story told here will be very best conveyed through excerpts from these conference rooms, for historical accuracy.

Saturday April 21st, 2012 was a day not in contrast to any other. Until the late afternoon brought with it a distress call received from HTX2:

(04:59:18 PM) Sundeep: we have a circumstance at the new creating.

The years of education immediately roused the team from their aforementioned complacency and they started gathering the required information in order to spring into action, like a… spring… that goes… into action!  The situation was explained additional:

(05:00:18 PM) Sundeep: My windows programmer is working out of there, programming, minding his own enterprise and a possum just walked into his office and is chilling in the corner…

It was now clear that an intruder had successfully breached our security perimeter, gained entry into HTX2 and was now on the hunt for our Windows Development Team.  We had heard stories, but never ever believed them to be correct, of this type of industrial espionage in the early days of net hosting, but we thought our parents were just attempting to scare us with these tales.  This was in fact happening!  The initial fear experienced by the team was quickly replaced with resolve they’ve been trained, they could handle this!

(06:44:07 PM) Steve: soooooo
(06:44:25 PM) Steve: what do we do if we need to take away an opossum from the new constructing?
(06:44:37 PM) Steve: any person have the number for animal control?
(06:44:46 PM) Steve: should I call Farrar?

Luckily, we have several former members of the United States military on staff. Brendan, one particular of our Migrations Supervisors, quickly assembled a strike force of fearless warriors who had been mentally and physically prepared to meet this threat head-on and save not only HTX2, but probably even the entire planet, from particular destruction.  As the strike force mounted up at the designated staging region at HTX1, tensions were understandably running fairly high in anticipation of the 5-minute trip to HTX2.  This is what all those years of education were major up to this was the time to shine!

The ride to HTX2 was sprinkled with nervous laughter as the team ready themselves for what would prove to be an undeniably epic battle.  The Band of Brothers pulled into the HTX2 parking lot amidst screams of fear emanating from the building.  Grown males had been sobbing uncontrollably, it was utter bedlam!

The team entered the constructing to the tune of “Lose Your self” by Eminem, or possibly it was the Theme from Rocky… either way, their senses heightened in preparation for the battle.  Upon exiting the elevator, they transformed into the warriors they had been trained to be.  The actual battle was short, though glorious!  Regrettably, the mere English language does not contain the necessary words to accurately describe the briefness and gloriousness of this distinct battle, so we basically cannot appropriately describe it herein.  Trust us, even though, brief and glorious it was!  The briefest and most glorious of any battle ever fought considering that the dawn of time, pretty significantly.

When the dust settled, HostGator’s strike force was declared victorious the beast was sated and peace restored to HTX2 and the surrounding countryside.

(07:36:44 PM) Steve: Brendan has returned victorious from animal control detail
(07:37:39 PM) Brendan: I should win the HG medal of valor although
(07:51:23 PM) Jon: Brendan, on behalf of HostGator, I award you one particular entire internet

It was a triumphant return to HTX1 for our heroes.  3 separate ticker-tape parades, sailors kissing ladies, like in that renowned old image of a sailor kissing a lady.  Unique colored wristbands had been instantly procured to celebrate the remembrance of this spectacular occasion.

As the sun set on this most momentous of days, our warriors faded back into their much more traditional roles.  Nevertheless, not only did they acquire One Whole Internet nowadays, but also the understanding that no task was as well significant, no creature as well vicious and no battle as well insurmountable for the team at HostGator.

It should go with out saying, but we still want to make it identified for the record, that the tiny guy was captured and released back into the wild unharmed and that no animals shall ever be harmed in the creating of this weblog.

Earth, Trees and Toilet Paper

Admin April 23, 2012 Advice 0


Toilet paper is significant organization. It’s genuinely a severely overlooked and below-appreciated medium of information distribution believe that! Thankfully, http://www.getshitter.com can help in elevating toilet paper to a much more suitable level of respect, by taking your twitter feed and turning it into toilet paper. What you subsequently do with stated toilet paper would then be completely up to you.

As we all learned from the classic Pauly Shore cinematic masterpiece Bio-Dome, the most effective signifies of instituting modify, or raising awareness, is to believe globally and act locally. The month of April contains each Earth Day (April 22nd) and Arbor Day (April 27th).  As you might already know, back in 2008 HostGator took the initiative of becoming a Green webhost, which you can read even much more about right here.  With environmentalism in the air this month, we thought it would be appropriate to talk about toilet paper and the trees that make toilet paper feasible. Since like toilet paper, trees are also serious enterprise.

I’m going to stop beating about the bush, not because a bush could potentially make for decent TP, but because toilet paper conservation is one thing that deserves considerably a lot more attention than it presently receives.  At least once per day, you hold in your hand a number of 4.25 inch squares that could modify the globe, if you held much less of them at a time.  Twenty-seven thousand trees give their lives everyday to provide the planet with toilet paper.  That is not a typo that’s a 27, followed by a comma and 3 zeros.  Don’t take my word for it go ask National Geographic.

Thinking globally may possibly lead you to learn General Sherman, a giant sequoia tree positioned in the Giant Forest of Sequoia National Park in Tulare County, California.  The Common is a single of the tallest, widest, longest-lived and most renowned trees in existence, consequently unlikely to ever turn out to be toilet paper.  One more unlikely TP candidate would be a certain White Cedar positioned in the Great Lakes region of Canada: it’s 155 years old and much less than 4 inches tall.

In acting locally, we started right here in our personal offices by buying GetShitter toilet paper for our restrooms to further educate all HostGator workers on trees and toilet paper conservation. To see the twitter feed we used for this objective, click right here, and please be sure that you are not very easily-offended by juvenile bathroom humor… after all, Gators can be identified in the sewers from time to time…

Now that we’ve appropriately addressed thinking globally and acting locally, we’re on a roll (so to speak)!  How even though can we thus act globally?  Our thoughts turned to our HostGator India office, India being widely recognized for having a culture that does not use toilet paper.  In the spirit of educating, enlightening and raising awareness about environmental troubles, we present this series of photos to clarify how that culture accomplishes this objective:

How is showing you these images acting globally, you ask?  Nicely, it’s not.  But encouraging you to adopt the identical behavior is!  Since if we want to change the world, and save some trees, then we need to have to take action a single ply at a time!  Interestingly, the above-pictured strategy is deemed even much more sanitary than utilizing toilet paper.

The Arbor Day Foundation began in 1972 and now plants and distributes far more than ten million trees annually. Earth Day began in 1970 and is largely credited with launching the modern day environmental movement. Please pay a visit to both of their websites to further educate yourself about potentially making a distinction that could influence the whole planet. What’s been around longer than each Earth Day and the Arbor Day Foundation, combined? Toilet paper, which dates back to the 6th century AD, in early medieval China. Really feel totally free to print that truth on your roll of GetShitter.com toilet paper! Happy Earth Day and Pleased Arbor Day from HostGator!

Internet Speak

Admin April 5, 2012 Advice 0


The moment upon a time, people communicated with every single other in total sentences.  Or at least, I assume folks used to communicate with each and every other in complete sentences.  Then along came the technology that spawed the phenomenon of communicating through text.  This properly butchered the English language.  At least we thought so, at the time.  Then along came IRC and Instant Messaging which therefore took language into depths of fail that were never ahead of imaginable.  OMG, LOL!

Instant Messaging is a single of the major signifies of communication within, and among, HostGator offices.  This leads to considerably butchering of the English language internally, while (hopefully) keeping suitable grammar inside the LiveChats with Clients this happens simultaneously, behind the scenes.  I’m not going to reveal also much of the inter-office shenanigans, but there are different conference rooms utilized by numerous departments to properly communicate as a group with one particular another.  This is a snippet of a conversation that took location in one particular of these conference rooms:

(05:38:01 AM) Preston: bacon are desireable
(05:38:06 AM) Preston: i want some bacon
(05:38:43 AM) Adam: appropriate spelling is desirable.
(05:38:49 AM) Adam: i want some suitable spelling.
(05:38:53 AM) Adam: wrapped in bacon.
(05:38:56 AM) Preston: then read a book
(05:38:58 AM) Preston: this is the internet
(05:39:07 AM) Adam: I WANT THE World wide web WRAPPED IN BACON

It was the above exchange specifically that prompted the creation of this blog post.  It got me thinking about how we have truncated our language to make it far much more instant, far a lot more bite-sized… far far more streamlined, or far far more primitive?  TLAs, or “Three-Letter Acronyms” have turn into the norm.  The aforementioned OMG and LOL, also: SMH, BRB, BRT, BFF, AFK… even the dreaded twosome of WTF and FML.  This is clearly by no implies an exhaustive list of TLAs.

There is no way to know the manner in which language will evolve in the future, but if Future Man appears back at the HostGator conference space logs and compares them with the LiveChat logs of the very same people acquiring Customer interactions, he might quite well consider that two totally separate languages are being spoken… and possibly that is comparatively true.  What’s exciting is the two gentlemen quoted above are each extremely intelligent and articulate men and women, which you could not necessarily be able to infer based on the snippet presented.

This all begs the question, should we consciously continue down this path of successfully disassembling language down to it’s most simple and minimally-communicative parts, or do we purposely not do that in order to maintain the present arc of lingual evolution, so to speak?  As usually, when the future becomes the present, the victors will have written the background, amirite?  ZOMG, fosho!  LOL.

May We See Your ID, Please?

Admin March 25, 2012 Advice 0


The basic truth is that the net hosting business is the target of, and host (pun intended?) to, a significant percentage of men and women who try to perpetrate identity theft. This is an unfortunate situation, but sadly men and women frequently attempt to purchase net-hosting with fraudulent credit cards and other stolen credentials. Normally the motivating element in employing a stolen identity to obtain hosting involve items like warez or other copyrighted materials such as music and movies, or for spamming or phishing purposes none of which HostGator tolerates on our network.

The efforts of our Pending Division avoid upwards of 6,000 fraudulent sign-ups every month. One particular of the indicates employed to prevent such sign-ups is a request to give us with a copy of a government-issued identification card. In that we are a global company with Consumers in practically every non-embargoed nation in the globe, we are dealing with countless types of identification cards. At times, they are genuine. Other instances, not so a lot. Beneath are a couple of of the far more exciting responses we’ve received to our request for the aforementioned identification cards. These images are exactly as we received then, save for the black boxes covering the private info of those who did not actually intend to sign up for internet hosting.

This unfortunate gentleman appears to suffer from some type of carnival funhouse mirror condition… or maybe an inability to properly use the crop and resize functions of Photoshop. He may, or might not, be named Megan:

Clearly a fake, but what is most concerning is his mouth and nose appear to be fading out of existence. Never thoughts his height being listed as “7.2”:

What may not be clearly visible in this image is the text beneath the image, which says “See How Cute Is The New Addition To Our Loved ones.” Also note “Restrictions: Must Wear Diaper”:

Moving appropriate along, to “Lara” here, who was apparently born in 2009 and has a rather distinctive height of “19”:

Ladies and gentlemen, let me to introduce to you “Batman Bin Suparman,” from Singapore:

We’ve also had a few notable folks try to sign up for hosting. You may possibly be familiar with Mr. Brendan Frasier:

Here’s “Connie,” from Delaware, whom vaguely resembles Brad Pitt. I’m not also particular the relevance of such as Graduation Celebration directions on an ID, but I digress:

The lovely and talented Keira Knightley. I was below the impression that she was from the UK, but apparently she’s in fact from Florida. Naturally a conscientious person who cares about her fellow man, becoming an organ donor and all:

Agent Mulder, certainly desiring to develop a site involving aliens. The truth is out there, and so forth:

The grand finale is a two-parter. This individual sent in not only their “ID,” but also a image of themselves holding the ID, to additional prove their identity.  So, initially we received this:

Followed shortly thereafter by:

All of the above had been clearly failed attempts to Jedi Thoughts-Trick us.  Fortunately, The Force is powerful inside The Gator!
