Hostgator Donates $100k for Haiti

Hostgator has a reputation as a great web host, but did you know that they’re also active with charitable causes?  This Hostgator announcement recently came across the PR wire:

Houston, TX (PRWEB) January 28, 2010 — HostGator.com, a leading web hosting provider, announced on Thursday that it has donated $100,000 to the American Red Cross Haiti Relief and Development fund.

The donation is the sixth six-digit charitable donation HostGator has made in its eight year history and the third such donation to the American Red Cross.

Not only are you getting a great hosting product at a competitive price, you can also know that your money is occasionally going to help out worthy causes.

Oh yeah, did I mention that they’re also offsetting any of the carbon created by running those servers 24/7?  So its green, you help people who need a hand, and you get a product that is known for reliability and low prices.  What was the downside again?
