New Dedicated Servers

I see most of the dedicated servers offered by Hostgator are not even available through Server Matrix anymore. Recently they have added Pentium D 3.4 Ghz to their Insomnia and Server Matrix lines.

Would be nice to see some of the new technology offered by Hostgator dedicated server sales.

They just upgraded the Pro model, dropped their slowest model and decreased the price of the second to the bottom model about a week ago.

They are keeping up with thePlanet, but you are correct, they aren't offereing the latest and greatest. Mostly because their market doesn't support that. Most of the people who purchase servers from HG are purchasing the lower end products, not the bleeding edge products. They could offer the bleeding edge products, but that would require constantly changing products, which tend to make it harder to get a server because every time you'd sign up for one, a new one would appear... that would lead to more confusion.

Yes, I would agree with Serra - I don't think that they need to add anything better than what is currently offered; after all -if your looking for anything better then you shouldn't shop at HG.

What I wouldn't mind seeing though is a price drop with the dedicated servers; but of course - isn't that a wish of all buyers.
