Since we had such a good time with our Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales (seriously, it was a blast!) we’ve decided to do one final blowout promotion before we hit December. Starting now (Tuesday, November 27th) and running through midnight on Friday, November 30th we’re going to be offering a 40% Recurring Discount on all Dallas, TX VPS orders. You can order your VPS through our website and when you reach the checkout, use coupon code vpsdallas40 and your 40% discount will automatically be applied to the order cost. Read More

That gives you an extra 12 hours to sign up for these incredible deals. These promotions are valid through 11:59pm CST (GMT-5) Friday. Keep reading for a list of all of our hosting specials!

As many of you are probably aware, October is officially breast cancer awareness month. Companies, organizations, charities, and individuals alike all come together to raise awareness about this disease and how it impacts all of our daily lives. For the rest of the month, we’re going to be joining this cause and will be donating money to the American Cancer Society to help fund research, awareness, and countless other critical activities to help finally find a cure.

Summer is pretty neat. The weather is nice and warm, people are generally in better spirits, you can spend all day and night outside, and perhaps best of all, summer means baseball season. In these trying times it can be difficult to stay on task and focused, especially when just outside your window is a gorgeous August day without a cloud in the sky. While we’ve had an enjoyable past few months here at Hawk Host, we’ve also been quite productive. So, what in the world have we been up to? Read More

The most popular name server is ISCs BIND. It’s been the market leader in name servers since the very beginning and has proven to be a reliable workhorse with robust features and reliable updates. It also has some issues that are affecting Hawk Host. Read More

We’ve been in the hosting business a long time now (just over 8 years). In that time we’ve grown by offering features our competitors don’t, support few can match, and prices well below industry standard. Part of staying ahead of that curve is constantly innovating and releasing new products. We’ve developed our own software, customized our environments almost to the point of tedium, and have launched new products consistent with market trends. Our next move is perhaps our most exciting yet, and it comes in the way of semi-dedicated hosting plans. Read More

For the first time in company history, some of our management team left their comfortable office chairs and went to a real life hosting convention. Not just any convention though, we went to “the big one”, that being HostingCon. This year it was in Boston, MA which is right around the corner (only 8 hours!) from our Buffalo office. We decided that driving would be the most opportune way to get there, because hey, we’ll probably need a car while we’re there. What a mistake that line of thought was, and I can safely say we’ll be flying down to next years convention in Austin, TX. Now as for this years convention… Read More

We’re going a little ‘off the cuff’ today with this post, and it’ll have almost nothing to do with web hosting. About the only thing this post has to do with hosting, Hawk Host, or even the internet in general is that we have an office in Buffalo. Everybody here loves hockey, specifically Buffalo Sabres hockey. When you live in a city where the average temperature on any given winter day is around 20F and had it’s prime back in the late 1800s/early 1900s, you need to find something to do. That is why we’re known as a drinking town with a hockey problem. But I’ll be damned if you can find a group of people with more pride in their city, or sports teams, than us Buffalonians. Read More
