Celebrate The Planet Day!

Put on your party hats, lace up your dancing shoes, and line up at the punch bowl. It’s officially The Planet Day in Houston, Texas! To celebrate our move to Bayou Place in downtown Houston, the Mayor of the City of Houston proclaimed:

The Planet is the world’s largest privately held dedicated hosting company. The company provides IT infrastructure solutions to more than 22,000 small and medium-size businesses and hosts 3.1 million Web sites worldwide. The Planet offers the best choice of servers, software tools and world-class support, and is backed by state-of-the-art facilities and unmatched network connectivity. The Planet helps turn information technology into a powerful competitive advantage that enables companies to successfully grow their businesses.

Headquartered in Houston, and with additional data centers and offices in Dallas, The Planet’s move represents a significant step in the company’s growth, bringing together in a single location a broad base of operations under one roof.

To commemorate this important day in its history, The Planet is making a generous contribution to the Houston Technology Center, which further underscores its commitment to the HTC mission and to the technology community in our city.

On December 12, 2007, The Planet will host its Grand Opening at Bayou Place. On this auspicious occasion The City of Houston extends best wishes for a successful and rewarding event.

Therefore, I, Bill White, Mayor of the City of Houston, hereby proclaim December 12, 2007, as

The Planet Day

in Houston, Texas.

Here’s an updated picture of the proclamation. Click the image for a larger view.

Needless to say, our team is excited to celebrate this holiday! We’ve got a ribbon-cutting ceremony this afternoon, and we are in the process of preparing our two Houston offices to be consolidated into the new location this weekend so we can hit the ground running next Monday morning.

Our office tours in Houston and in Dallas are still among the most viewed posts on our blog, so I’ll add another tour post to the collection with pictures from the new building within the next day or two.
