Tattooed Gators
In 1936, Life magazine estimated that 6% of Americans had a tattoo. Undoubtedly, this was mostly comprised of sailors or other military personnel and likely also a carnival sideshow entertainer or two. In March 2005, The Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology determined that 24% of the general U.S. population had at least one tattoo. HostGator presently has about 850 employees in Texas. We were able to wrench 619 of those Gators away from more important tasks in order to survey them. We found that 244 of the 619 had at least one tattoo. If we guesstimate the math to the best of our ability, we find that just over 40% of HostGator employees are tattooed. In recent years, there seemed to be more and more professional athletes turning up with visible tattoos. Of the 431 players in the NBA, 233 (or roughly 54%) have tattoos. Aside from the NBA, there seems to be very little statistical information regarding tattoos as related to various industries Continue reading
Tour Du Rouge 2012
HostGator are proud to have presented the 2012 Tour Du Rouge, benefiting the Gulf Coast chapters of The American Red Cross. The ride traversed five hundred and twenty-six miles, beginning in Houston on May 6th and ending in New Orleans on May 11th, at an average of 88 miles each day. HostGator designed the awesome jerseys visible in the images below, as well as t-shirts and lots of other event graphics. Allan, one of our Admins who participated in the ride this year, was kind enough to share some of his experiences with us. The morning of the ride began with a performance of The Star-Spangled Banner, followed by a group prayer. After the ceremonies, a police escort (complete with horse-mounted officers) accompanied the riders from the starting point in Northeast Houston through to the first major freeway, about five miles away. Beaumont would be the destination for day one. Allan completed this 88 mile trek in just under 5 hours, despite some rough patches of road along the way. The image below is from the starting line, with Allan front and center, notice those stylish HostGator jerseys! Day two would take the riders from Beaumont through Port Arthur and ultimately over the bridge, across the state border into Louisiana Continue reading

Gator Art and Song
We are fortunate enough to have some very 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 issues. Another random caller once offered to send Brent some weed, via the US Postal Service for the same reason. For the record, both of these offers were respectfully declined. These days, it’s not terribly unusual to receive the occasional gift basket at the office, but please no more offers of groupies or drugs. Here’s a couple examples of the art we’ve received: This Snappy was done by a child of one of our Customers. Continue reading

Earth, Trees and Toilet Paper
Toilet paper is serious business. It’s genuinely a severely overlooked and under-appreciated medium of information distribution; believe that! Fortunately, http://www.getshitter.com can assist in elevating toilet paper to a more appropriate level of respect, by taking your twitter feed and turning it into toilet paper. Continue reading
