Hostamania! That's right, brother... You'll be the WWW World Champion in no time with Hostamania, Hulk Hogan's new web hosting service.
The only Python you're gonna need is those 24 inch guns!

It would be great if there was a file-transfer animation that was just Hogan doing the hand-to-ear gesture over and over again. That's all I've got.

Son of a bitch, beaten to Pastamania.
And I mean, my web host doesn't have Hulk Hogan, but I do get a real shell account with unlimited bandwidth and disk space for $8 a month.
Although I suppose I don't leg-drop the competition, so they've got that going for them.

My mother will be incredibly disappointed at the lack of shade-tolerant, broad-leaved foliage plants.

Um yes hello, but sorry friend, it seems that you are hosted by one of the Other Guys, and as such - as Hostamania's table clearly indicates - you are fumbling in the dark without such slashing-edge features as Yearly Subscription, Monthly Subscription, and Is the website iPad Compatible.

I do think the transition from FAMOUS MONSTER's Pastamania link to mine is one of the best "My name is Ozymandias, king of kings" illustrations I've ever stumbled across.

Holy shit, I was so dazzled by the design that I missed the video at first. That is really, really ... a thing.

Do you get a choice of stock photos with your plans, do you think or are they all stock photos of Hulk Hogan?
(I personally will settle for nothing less than 1 (one) stock photo of Hulk Hogan laughing while eating salad.)

If the server goes nuts, will Hulk deliver a Fingerpoke of Doom to pin down the problem?

So, like, the Hulkster got a cable modem and has three old P3s in the closet in the guest room or what?

Perhaps you've been sprayed with Arrogance but don't know it yet. Stings the nostrils.

Hey, waitaminute! I dragged their customers' pictures into Google images, and "James W. Photographer" looks suspiciously like someone called Mike Clifford, whereas "Michelle N. Small Business Owner" apparently works for businessclasstelecom.com.au and possibly many other places.
Sweet! Apparently, like the best wrestlers, you get a secret identity as well!

The downside to this is when Warrior hits your website with a steel chair and the FBI isn't paying attention because Jimmy Snuka distracted them.

Hostamania? I seriously expected to read of one man's devotion to the hardy perennial foliage plant and all-around garden favorite, the hosta. I am seriously disappointed.

The music in the video is Hogan's pre-NWO, WCW-era theme music from the mid-90s. And the homemade looking quality of the video itself make it so that if someone were to tell me the site itself was last updated in 1995 I would absolutely believe it if not for the links to Twitter, Facebook and Google+. Brother.
