Did you know that HostGator.com is hosting over 1.3 million web sites? The average and typical web server I would estimate to have around a 450 Watt power source and HostGator.com has over 5000 servers. That is a lot of power that is being used.
Recognizing that their servers take up a lot of juice, HostGator.com has been actively trying to reduce the amount of power consumption. Over the last two years they have been chipping away at it and never was satisfied. That is up until recently…
Today, HostGator.com runs their servers off 130% wind power by purchasing certified Renewable Energy Credits which represent 130% of the electricity used to power their entire fleet of 5000+ servers.
You may be wondering how much of power this saves? Well, HostGator.com says that their efforts is the equivelent of removing 444 cars from the road for a full year, it’s the equivalent of powering 321 homes with clean energy for a full year, it saves 5654 barrels of oil and it protects over 550 acres of forests.
In celebration of their efforts, HostGator.com wants to cut you a break as well. HostGator.com want to offer you 20% off your initial order. So here’s the deal. Depending on what you purchase, you need to work this promotion correctly.
They have two promotions. One, is the one I have been pitching for awhile, which is getting one month web hosting free when you join their “Baby Plan”.
The Baby Plan cost $7.95 / month. When you use the coupon code: wordpress, you get the first month discounted down to a penny.
However, if you intend to NOT pay month to month, and perhaps choose to pay for six month in advanced or even the entire year up front, you can use coupon code: green and knock off 20% off your bill.
Also too, you might be interested in other services than just the Baby Plan. So, again depending on which services you decide to use, take a minute to do the math and either use coupon code: wordpress, or coupon code: green.
Also, as an added bonus, if you join HostGator.com through me, I will proivde you with one of the following:
- Free WordPress Install and Free Basic SEO Service
- Five Free Professionally Written Articles For Your Blog or Web Site.
- Free One Hour Phone Consultation
- Free 468×60 Banner Ad On My Blog For One Month
As you can see, there are many reasons why you should sign up with HostGator.com. If you already have hosting else where, no problem, they provide free transfer services and can help you make the switch.
After you sign up, be sure to contact me and let me know which of one of the free offers you would like.

I am with Hostgator as well, transferred to there a couple of months ago and I am extremely happy with them. The live chat support they provide is so quick and they actually do what you ask them (at least if it’s reasonable I guess.) I needed to have 2 Perl modules installed on the machine and someone from them did it in 15 mins for me. I have two accounts; second Baby I purchased 3 weeks ago, not using it fully yet just for testing, if I just knew then that you will make this offer

Hey Garry, am i missing something here? Was unable to find a payment plan for “Baby” where one could pay 6 months or 1 year in advance and get 20% off. The minimum according to the prices that pop up is a 2 year plan ( Baby ). Is this something we would need to contact them via phone/email in order to get a 6 month or year “advance pay” plan? Or did I totally miss the link? Thanks!
