Stumped for shopping hints? Give the gift of web.
Ubėr-webhost Media Temple is offering The Hosting Card, a gift card (real or virtual, your choice, although the deadline for by-Christmas delivery of the plasticware has passed) as a suggestion for that hard-to-shop for geek on your Christmas list. The card, which lists for $95, entitles the bearer to one year of hosting, one "free" (well, somebody paid for it, didn't they?) domain name, and 500 GPUs per month (if the person you're giving the card to can understand the implications of GPUs, then you've made the right choice).
I highly recommend this a gift for all your family members, neighbors, co-workers, fellow church members, service providers, and passersby on the street. Because once they discover that The Hosting Card doesn't come with an actual, you know, website, well, then, they can just drop me a line (or call, tollfree: BR-549). I'm pretty sure I can provide 'em with something that will keep them under their GPU allocation.
Works for me. At least it makes more sense than the actual explanation.
