Temple of the Mind

December 30th, 2010 · Collection

Dear Adam,

I’m a volunteer.

I don’t get paid a cent for my work at Wikipedia, and neither do our thousands of other volunteer authors and editors. When I founded Wikipedia, I could have made it into a for-profit company with advertising, but I decided to do something different.

Commerce is fine. Advertising is not evil. But it doesn’t belong here. Not in Wikipedia.

To keep Wikipedia ad-free, we ask for donations every year on the site. We’re sending you this email because we are scaling up our infrastructure this year, and we’re simply not able to raise the whole budget from the banners alone.

We have an easy way to make an automatic monthly donation to Wikipedia, and we’re looking for people who would like to become sustainers. (Of course you can make a one-time donation as well.)

Please make a monthly recurring gift of $3, $7, $13 — or whatever you can:

http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/WMFRE/en

Wikipedia is something special. It is like a library or a public park. It is like a temple for the mind. It is a place we can all go to think, to learn, to share our knowledge with others. It is a unique human project, the first of its kind in history. It is a humanitarian project to bring a free encyclopedia to every single person on the planet.

Every single person.

If all of Wikipedia’s 400 million users would donate $1 each, we would have 20 times the amount of money we need. We’re a small organization, and I’ve worked hard over the years to keep us lean and tight. We fulfill our mission, and leave waste to others.

To do this without resorting to advertising, we need you. It is you who keep this dream alive. It is you who have created Wikipedia. It is you who believe that a place of calm reflection and learning is worth having.

This year, please consider making a sustaining monthly donation of whatever amount you like to protect and sustain Wikipedia.

Thanks,

Jimmy Wales
Wikipedia Founder

P.S. — If you can’t commit to a recurring monthly donation, I hope you’ll consider making another one time gift to help us reach our goal before the end of the year. Please make your donation today.

HostGator.com Newsletter – November/December 2010

December 30th, 2010 · Collection

Gator Happenings

Greetings,

We have some exciting news and updates for you this month about our new domain registry service, a sneak peek at our new upcoming domain management control panel, our billing system migration and a tour of our new HostGator Austin Office (now fully loaded, HostGator style).

Our billing system migration is nearly complete! With over 99% of our existing customer base having already been transferred, we expect to be fully migrated to our own GatorBill very shortly. This switch brings a faster and more efficient billing experience for our customers (as we’re sure you’ve already experienced). GatorBill is just one of the many new programs we have developed over the last few years to make your experience here at HostGator better than any other hosting company.

What about that registrar thing?

As many of you are aware, we announced that we would be coming out with our very own, integrated domain registration service. It’s taken us a little bit longer than we anticipated, but that’s because we’re wanting to make it right! We are working incredibly hard to bring this to you as soon as we can and we anticipate this being available within the next several weeks (beginning of 2011).

This new domain registry service is going to allow you to register, transfer and manage your domain names AND your hosting all from within one control panel.

We are also working around the clock to bring out our own domain registrar, LaunchPad (Watch out GoDaddy!)! We are anticipating LaunchPad’s release within the first quarter of 2011. LaunchPad will provide all of the same support and reliability that HostGator customers have come to expect, as well as allowing clients the convenience of registering and managing all of their domains right along side their hosting. We know this is going to be great for us as well as our customers, and we simply can’t wait.

Here’s an exclusive, sneak peek at our new upcoming domain management control panel:

Click here to see all screen shots.

All set in Austin, TX.

We’ve moved in! We last showed you our Austin office shortly after we purchased it and it was still nearly empty. We’ve now loaded the office with only the best (HostGator Style!) and we wanted to share with you what our Austin office now looks like.
A few highlights about our Austin office and pictures:
102,000 SQFT Office building in Austin, TX

World Class 1100 sq ft Gym complete with lockers and showers (gators sweat a lot)


Game room with arcade games, air hockey, ping pong table and a full size pool table.



Vending machines that take credit cards (Gators only carry 100s).

Click here for all of the new Austin photos!
Come Join us

Now that you’ve gotten to see inside of our cool new office, why not come and work here?! We’re Hiring!
We’re growing faster than ever and we are still in search of Linux administrators with experience in cPanel/WHM. If you’d like to get paid doing what you already have a passion for, go ahead and check out our jobs page.
Not experienced in Linux administration? Not a problem! You can still get paid by HostGator for referring potential candidates that successfully complete 90 days of full-time employment. We are currently offering $2,500 for each qualified Admin you send us, and $500 for chat/phone techs. For more information on this, and to get started with your referrals, visit our referral page.
We are looking for PERL Developers!
We are now hiring Perl/C developers in Austin, TX. Relocation, competitive salary, and full benefits provided. Please simply email[email protected] to apply today.

If you have any questions regarding anything in this newsletter, we invite you to email [email protected].

That is all for this month,

– The HostGator team!

Did you know that HostGator has an active presence on both Twitter and Facebook? Consider following us on Twitter and/orbecoming a fan of HostGator on Facebook to get the latest HostGator news and updates.

VOIP Service

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

1.) FREE Toll-Free Number (Only pay for minutes used)

2.) FREE Fax-to-Email Number (Only pay for minutes used)
This is a great way to save lots of money and have all your
communication 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.
