HostGator.com launches unlimited shared windows hosting plans (May 20, 2011) - Houston, TX - May 20, 2011 -- Website provider HostGator (hostgator.com) announced this week that it has launched an unlimited shared Windows web hosting plan.

The company has established itself as a leader in the Linux hosting business, and one of the largest providers of shared hosting in general. Obviously, adding the affordable Windows hosting plans will expose the company's services to those shared hosting clients who have a reason to require the Windows platform.

This week, it launched two windows hosting packages, offering unlimited storage space and bandwidth, and equipped with Parallels Plesk control panel, Microsoft's IIS, SQL Server 2008 and ASP and ASP.net, beginning at $4.76.

"We are very excited about the launch of our new Windows shared Hosting service. HostGator has been a leader in the Linux hosting industry for a number of years now and we are looking forward to bringing our level of service and reliability to the Windows market at an affordable price," says Taylor Hawes, chief marketing officer at HostGator, quoted in the company's press release.

According to the Windows-hosting page on the HostGator website, the unlimited Windows plans include a single-domain version, starting at $4.76 and a five-domain version, starting at $14.36 per month.

In the announcement, the company says it will "continue to encompass green hosting initiative, powered by 130 percent wind energy."

Can Web Hosting Donates $5k to Charity (March 9, 2009) - After loosing a family member to drug abuse, Canadianwebhosting.com (www.canadianwebhosting.com) chief executive officer Tony Chu has donated $5,000 on behalf of his company to Union Gospel Mission (www.ugm.ca), a non-profit urban relief organization serving Vancouver and Mission, British Columbia, providing food, shelter and counselling to those in need.

According to Canadianwebhosting.com's Monday announcement, Chu hopes to help others who are up against similar challenges rise above their current predicament, and not despite the passing of his family member. UGM offers emergency and prevention assistance, as well as alcohol recovery programs. Based in Vancouver, in supporting a local charity, Chu is not only helping the community, but also fostering goodwill within the community much like other companies in their local community such as HostGator (www.hostgator.com) in Florida.

UGM was founded in 1940, and now operates 12 locations in Metro Vancouver and in the nearby city of Mission.

"I understand what our homeless brothers and sisters go through day after day," Chu said in a statement. "That is why we have chosen Union Gospel Mission as our charity of choice. I wish to thank UGM for their dedication and hard work as they help people get back on their feet and rebuild their lives."

Founded in 1998, Canadianwebhosting.com is a privately-held web hosting company that provides 24/7/365 phone, email and online chat support. While not as large as Go Daddy (www.godaddy.com), which estimated its 2008 contributions to be more than $1.65 million, by choosing meaningful and attainable charitable goals, Canadianwebhosting.com hopes its donation will pay off not only for the company, but also for the local community.
