Xokin Hosts University of Houston Design Students for Unblock Exhibition

June 15th, 2010

Last month, the University of Houston Graphics Communication Program hosted Unblock, an exhibition highlighting the work of their senior designers for the Spring 2010 semester. The showcase involved 21 students who endured Block, a grueling process involving a number of obstacle courses and harsh punishments.

Okay, maybe it wasn’t quite that hardcore. But, in all seriousness, only the elite are able to take part in Block and only the very best survive. Think of it like Hogwarts for graphic designers.

Xokin was honored to host a number of these breakthrough designers for the exhibition. Though the exhibit is now over, we would love for everyone to take the time enjoy the hard work put forth by these students.

To check out the rest of the exhibition, check out the official Unblock site.

You too can showcase your artwork, writing, knowledge, talent, and craft by getting your own website with Xokin. Show off your skill to the rest of the world and unlock your hidden potential. Get off to a solid start by using coupon code unlock and pay only a penny on your first month of hosting. Head over to the order page now to get started!

Accreditation with the BBB

May 1st, 2010

Hello Xokinites. As part of our pursuit to deliver the best customer experience, we have recently submitted our application to the the Better Business Bureau (BBB). Xokin is proud to announce that we are now considered among the elite groups of businesses that are worthy of their accreditation.

For those who do not know much about the BBB, let me divulge.  There are thousands of businesses around the world, encompassing all industries.  However, not all of them have the best business practices.  The BBB was formed so consumers can evaluate a particular entity before doing business with them.  In order to attain this status, businesses must provide evidence that their company maintains the following etiquette:

Build Trust
Establish and maintain a positive track record in the marketplace.

Advertise Honestly
Adhere to established standards of advertising and selling.

Tell the Truth
Honestly represent products and services, including clear and adequate disclosures of all material terms.

Be Transparent
Openly identify the nature, location, and ownership of the business, and clearly disclose all policies, guarantees and procedures that bear on a customer’s decision to buy.

Honor Promises
Abide by all written agreements and verbal representations.

Be Responsive
Address marketplace disputes quickly, professionally, and in good faith.

Safeguard Privacy
Protect any data collected against mishandling and fraud, collect personal information only as needed, and respect the preferences of customers regarding the use of their information.

Embody Integrity
Approach all business dealings, marketplace transactions and commitments with integrity.

Our recent accreditation is representative of our desire to establish a customer centric business.  To ensure trust in our customers and the rest of the Hosting world, we pledge to follow the standards laid out by the BBB.

This is one of many efforts that exemplifies Xokin’s dedication to our customers, their businesses, hobbies, or any other interests they wish to share with the World Wide Web.

Ahhhhh! Spring is in the air, and that can mean two things, Baseball and SxSW interactive. Xokin is celebrating our grand opening by doing it up right, Austin, Texas style.

Its that one time of year when Bloggers, Film Critics, Social media Geeks, Twitter fiends, Web hosting gurus (such as myself), Rock stars, and celebrities converge on one city for a week long smorgasbord of networking, and debauchery.

The Xokin family will be in attendance for the week long extravaganza. Perusing and chatting it up with the best and brightest in the industry. If you feel like meeting up, be sure to RSVP for some of the festivities.

Be sure to come find the Xokin family. I’ll be the guy who looks out of place, and probably more than slightly intoxicated, and Tin will be the Asian.

Be on the look out for our one of a kind Xokin posters plastered throughout the city for special promo codes. Feel free to carefully peel them off the wall, and hang in your dorm room, apt, studio, or million dollar house.

…..wait, contest idea just hit me….

The first 5 people who nab one of our posters from SxSW, and sends us a picture of it hanging proudly in their humble abode will win 1 free year of web hosting. Easy enough right?!?!

…..THAT JUST HAPPENED.

Please send all entries to management@xokin.com

Hope to see you at SxSW! Let the fun begin!!
