Meanwhile, in an internal email, Mr. Oxley also confirmed the same and also maintained that the buildings both in Austin and Houston will remain the property of Oxley leasing company owned by him.


HostGator is one of the biggest companies in the field of web hosting business. It possesses more than 12000 servers and more than 400000 customers. Mr. Brent Oxley also assured his employees with logical reasons that there is no fear for change in management and lay off of any employee because Endurance International Group is increasing the office area in both locations i.e. Austin and Houston. He further said, “BlueHost was at 280 employees when the sale closed and they have 450 today. Their management team has stayed the same and the culture has stayed the same. Now, the BlueHost culture, employees, and philosophy have taken hold to become the new status quo of EIG.”
