Site5 Web Hosting Blog

In Honor of St. Valentine

Posted by Kevin Hazard, February 12th, 2007

Several scholars of love contend that Valentines Day is a ridiculous holiday created by greeting card companies to make money. Being of this mindset, however, does not necessarily mitigate your responsibility to express affection for the people closest to you (especially your significant others); have you thought about giving web hosting to your significant other for Valentine’s Day?

…

Well, to be honest, that thought shouldn’t enter your mind.

If you are considering a web hosting plan as your Valentine’s present for the love of your life, I would heavily advise against it. Valentine’s Day is one of the few holidays that your safest bet is to go with the status quo: Flowers, chocolate, and poetry are all great choices (though you might want to consult a better source for the poetry). In controlled test scenarios, we found it more likely that the one would be slapped for giving web hosting in lieu of a “classic” Valentine’s Day present than the recipient declaring it to be the most romantic gift they had ever received.

Don’t get me wrong, web hosting is an amazing present to give and to receive –especially if it is one of Site5’s plans– but you should probably give it as a “day before Valentine’s Day” gift, an “in addition to already purchased classic Valentine’s Day present” gift, or an “I’m sorry I forgot Valentine’s Day” day-after gift. Then again, let’s be honest… in the third case, you need to be buying and giving as many things as you can get your hands on to make up for that neglect.

Unfortunately, we misplaced the book in which we archive the names and addresses of each reader of this blog. Typically, this would not be much of a problem, but we really wanted to send out a little somethin’-somethin’ to every one of you readers in return for your love of this humble weblog. Luckily, we were able to come up with a solution: free Site5 wallpapers! We know your natural inclination is to bounce off the walls with excitement, but we would ask you to calm down… We don’t need any Site5 Valentine’s Day Jubilation-related injuries. Each of the designs below was masterfully crafted by our very own Rod Armstrong with a little skill and a lot of love (awwww…), so we hope they can brighten up your desktop.

With tongue-in-cheek sincerity and lightheartedness, we wish you a Happy Valentine’s Day! Let us know if you would like any of the designs in a different size (since they are all ~ 1280×1024). If you want to wish us a Happy Valentine’s Day in return, you can either leave a comment or just order a hosting plan.
