LOS ANGELES, CA — (Marketwired) — 09/06/13 — ®, a global leader in web hosting and cloud storage and computing services, today announced a rapid-fire series of limited-time promotions leading up to the sixteenth anniversary of the registration of the “dreamhost.com” domain name.
“What-s this all about?” asked DreamHost, wearily. “Am I in trouble or something?”
Mr. DreamHost shot a knowing glance across the kitchen table to his wife of 22 years “Well, DreamHost, Your mother and I have been talking. You-ll be turning sixteen this year and that only happens once in a girl-s life.”
“I remember when I turned sixteen,” recalled Mrs. DreamHost. “I wrote ridiculous press releases that no one ever bothered to read back then, too. You remind me so much of myself when I was a girl!”
“I-ll never forget the day you were born, Princess. SATA was just a twinkle in our eyes, bandwidth cost a fortune, and the only CSS the world knew was a weak DVD copy protection scheme.” Mr. DreamHost paused to rest a hand atop his wife-s shoulder. “Things were simpler back then, DreamHost. You don-t know how lucky you are to be here — or how lucky the world is to have you.”
DreamHost could only roll her eyes. “God, you guys are so lame!” she shouted. “I-m just going to give stuff away for sixteen days and I don-t care what you say. Starting tomorrow, September 7th, I-ll put a link to these promos right up there on my homepage, and anyone who wants to get in on this hot action can just click their way in. Serious. I-m gonna be giving it out on the daily, Mom and Dad, and there-s nothing you can do about it!”
The sadness in her mother-s eyes was clear. “But we love you so much, DreamHost! Why would you want to hurt us like this?”
“You guys are so old school! You don-t understand anything! Life-s not about where you-ve been, it-s about where you-re going — and I-m going places. Like right now! If you need me, I-ll be down by the river staying in Brett-s trailer. He-s in COLLEGE.”
And with that, DreamHost stormed out of her parents- lavishly-appointed townhouse, slamming the door behind her.
“Kids!” said Mr. and Mrs. DreamHost in unison.
Just then, DreamHost-s houseguest, Inktank, wandered in from the family room. “Hey guys, I think we-re out of beer. Did you want me to run to the store or…were you guys…or…? Ooookay, I-ll go. Should I like, hit up Redbox on the way? Oblivion-s supposed to be pretty good, right? Yeah, I-ll hook that up. Be right back!”
