How about discount codes for existing customers?

[v7web]

Dear gator,
How about discount codes for existing customers?
I have had a dedicated server with host gator for a couple of years.
Looking around there are many deals out there on the web now that bring the price of running a dedicated server down substantially.
However I have been really please with the service host gator have given me, the only thing that annoys me is that you give out huge discounts to new customers but once you have us, the discounts stop.

Come on gator! throw us existing customers a bone so we do not even look at other hosts.

Thanks,

We have recently updated our dedi plans so you can actually get a server with comparable specs for less and even use the Beach coupon for 20% off the first month.

I usually recommend doing it about a week before your old plan renews to allow enough time to transfer everything and cancel the old server so you are not charged again for it.

Unfortunately, the data center does not lower the price on the older hardware to match the newer hardware.

Most of the Gators hadn't learned to read yet 25 years ago (they're very youthful compared to some customers).

In 1984 The Source had just become CompuServe; an hour of use cost more in UNADJUSTED dollars than the two least expensive HG plans currently do per month. The Macintosh had just been introduced, and the theoretical "wide audience local information utility" concept that would transform Arpanet into the internet hadn't materialized, much less into the world wide web.

Several of our coupons (including some of our more popular ones) should work on new package orders for existing customers. So, if you order a new dedicated server in addition to whatever package you already have, you should be able to use one of those coupons and apply it to your order.
