Unless you’ve been avoiding main stream news/media for the past few years, you’ve probably heard of Bitcoin at this point. Bitcoin is a digital currency based around a P2P (peer to peer) system and relies on cryptography to bring the whole network together. Despite the folks at Berkshire-Hathaway and Goldman Sachs claiming it’s not an official currency, we don’t have public investors or financial gurus to worry about.  What we have to worry about is our customers, and because of that we’re more than happy to start accepting bitcoins as payment for our hosting services.

We’re halfway through February which of course means Spring is right around the corner. For those of us based in winter climates, this year has been a rough one. Even here at our office in Buffalo we’ve gone (up until today) 17 days straight of sub-freezing temperatures and have received nearly 100 inches of snow. To celebrate the soon to be sunlight and warmer weather, we’re offering a 48 hour “It’s Almost Spring” sale! You can save up to 60% on any shared hosting plan! Read More

Welcome to the 2013 edition of Hawk Hosts holiday and Boxing Day sales! For those uninitiated, Boxing Day (link to Wikipedia) is a national holiday in a number of countries celebrated the day after Christmas. Since we’re based in Canada and we’re one of the few countries that celebrate, every year we have web hosting specials for this unique holiday. Read More

This is just a brief post that hopefully helps some people so they don’t start banging their head on their keyboard. As of recently a bunch of OpenSSL* package updates have been released for *EL6 (RHEL, CloudLinux, etc) which is fine and dandy. Unfortunately there is a slight issue that makes it conflict with Ruby without a minor patch. Read More

We realize the big savings helps, but there are no shortage of hosting companies out there and you guys chose us. It sincerely means a lot to everyone on our team! Read More

We’ll be running specials leading up to Black Friday, and once Black Friday hits, we’ll be increasing our already impressive discounts!

We’ve had VPS hosting plans available in our Dallas, TX and Washington DC locations for as long as I can remember. While we’ve always been happy with those two locations, we realize not everyone who wants a VPS from us wants one in the US. Ever since we launched our shared hosting in Amsterdam and Singapore, customers have been asking for a VPS option in those same locations. There were a number of factors at play, but after a lot of hard work we’re finally able to announce the availability of VPS plans in our Singapore facility. Read More
