EJ Host Loves SEO!

In addition to the hosting special, EJHost is also currently running a SEO services special. SEO means Search Engine Optimization. Have your site analyzed and a proposal put together for FREE! Just use our contact form and send us your site name and some background about your business. Together we can put together a plan of SEO your site and to increase your online presence. EJHost’s SEO services typically start around $700, however it is possible to focus on parts of SEO for much less. We will work with any budget and have put together many successful campaigns for varying budgets. Make sure you mention you saw our special.

Unlike some of our competitors, we do not try to package our SEO services into plans like you can for hosting. Whereas hosting has clearly defined services, SEO services shouldn’t be broadly defined and each business is truly unique. We will do the legwork to find who your customers are and how to appeal to those customers. While it is difficult to explain the inner workings of SEO, it IS extremely important to provide clear quantifiable goals. The mechanics behind SEO vary greatly site to site and really are dependent on each business’ goals.

Need SEO, get Hosting for Free!

We will also provide 1 year free hosting with the purchase of any SEO package.

Dennis Gabor Biography

Dennis (his Hungarian name is Gábor Dénes) was a Hungarian Jewish British electrician born on 5 June 1900. Mr. Gabor invented holography and has won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1971. Google celebrates 110 years since Dennis Gabor was born with a doodle, a holographic image which is replacing the Google logo.
He was born and raised in Budapest, Hungary in a Jewish family. He served the artillery during the World War I and studied at the Technical University of Budapest then moved to Technical University of Berlin, Germany.

Dennis Gabor analyzed the proprieties of high voltage electric transmission lines using cathode beam oscillographs. He later wrote his Ph.D. thesis on cathode ray tube in 1927 and continued working on plasma lamps.
Because he was a Jew he had to leave Germany and moved to England in Warwickshire. In 1947, while working at the British Thomson-Houston he invented holography but the first hologram is known to have been released in 1964 after the laser was invented (1960). Holography allows scattered light to record its image that was reproduced as the object was there when it was recorded. It is used in many 3D animations.
In 1958 Dennis Gabor was honored as professor of applied physics and retired in 1967, moving to Italy where he spent many years of his life. He died in London in 1979, Februari 8th.
It it wasn’t for Dennis Gabor we would not have 3D animations such as Toy Story or The Matrix.
