前不久Cloud曾发布过Domain.com确认被EIG收购的消息。EIG的扩张势头不止，这两天网传的一条重量级的消息是主机里的领军者之一的Hostgator（鳄鱼主机），也被EIG这条大鳄收购了！
这是网上贴出的一封Hostgator的CEO布伦特的Email：
Hi Joshua,
The deal is already signed, there’s no way for me to change my mind even if I wanted to. They are going to be keeping my old staff, management, etc so I see no reason why there’s going to be any type of negative impact. If they planned on firing and outsourcing there’s no doubt the quality of service would be going down. EIG has learned a lot over the years on what works and doesn’t with deals.
Sincerely,
Brent Oxley
还有一封长信就不转了，布伦特在信中详细谈了此事。
以往也有过类似的传言，后来都证明是空穴来风，但Cloud觉得这次的可信度比较高。究竟结果如何，影响是好是坏，不妨拭目以待。
