Comprises a 4-story, 30,000 square foot building featuring high levels of security, monitoring and expanded infrastructure.
Host Gator, a
provider of shared, dedicated and reseller hosting, announced today
that is has completed the move to its new headquarters in Texas and
launched a new company blog.
The new offices are located a few
minutes from downtown Houston, where the company has purchased a
4-story, 30,000 square foot building for $2.4 million. This
state-of-the art facility features high levels of security, monitoring
and expanded infrastructure to support Host Gator's customer service
operations. The new location already houses 100 employees, and has the
capacity to accommodate the company's plans to eventually expand its
headcount up to 300. To date the new headquarters is currently handling
hundreds of phone calls, thousands of tickets, and about one thousand
live chats a day.
"We are extremely pleased to announce this
major milestone. Host Gator has been growing at a rapid rate in the
last few years. We felt moving to a major metropolitan area was the
best way to meet all our staffing and infrastructure needs. The new
blog is not a promotional tool, but rather a way for us to reach out
and communicate with our valued customers and anyone interested in
hosting. The Internet has changed how news is distributed, with sites
such as Digg.com empowering the community to determine what is
considered newsworthy. We hope to use these alternative channels to
broaden the reach of our communication efforts," said Brent Oxley,
Chief Executive Officer of Host Gator.
