FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
FutureQuest, Inc. Announces
UNITY in Response
to the 9-11 Tragedies
Orlando Florida, September 15, 2001 - FutureQuest, Inc. (
http://www.FutureQuest.net) names their newest Community web hosting server, UNITY, in remembrance of the thousands of victims of the September 11th 2001 "Attack on America" and as a reminder of the way millions of people, around the globe, stood together during these tragic times.
Hosting companies commonly name their servers, which usually follow a theme such as cartoon characters, astrological signs, or Greek alphabets. FutureQuest decided on the name UNITY for their latest server after viewing numerous images of people around the world joining together to mourn the astronomical losses of the terrorist attack.
"The server's name was changed mid-stream because of the tragic murders that took place on September 11th. Everyone's moods were altered on this day and we needed, regardless how small, a way to show our support and sympathies to the many lives that have been affected." said Andrew Gillespie, CTO of FutureQuest, Inc. "More than that, the name shows our pride in the way everyone came together in unison after it happened."
On September 11th 2001 four planes were hijacked in the United States of America, three of which aimed at, and crashed into both of the World Trade Center Towers as well as the Pentagon. Literally thousands of lives were lost and a "New War" had begun.
"As is the story with so many others around the world, there seems to be little that we can do concerning the September 11th attack." said FutureQuest's CEO, Debbie Gillespie. "We've created a fund to be donated to the Red Cross and continue to increase that fund with every new account ordered, and now we've named a server that will serve as a way for us to remember this event and show our support for all affected by it." she continued, "It certainly isn't enough to satisfy our need to help in a bigger way, but it does offer something to reiterate our emotions concerning this tragedy."
A page that asks others to offer their support to the recovery effort has temporarily replaced FutureQuest's home page. Across the top of the page the words "There are some things more important than your website." remain in large bold letters.
