FAQs

If you aren't with the Port of Houston, why are you running this site?
Everyone benefits with the success of the Port. It is my goal to simply assist with the growth of the Port in my own way.

Isn't the official site enough?
Actually, the official site is quite good. The problem is that people have a problem locating it and it is an official site and doesn't have the flexibility that a private individual has. Thus, new information can be provided in unique ways. Also, by not being a political player, I am unfettered by County or other issues and can provide simple straight-forward information.

What is your angle?
Actually, there is little to this. I don't take any money from anyone for listings, etc. Maybe someday in the future I might do something like that, but I don't like the idea of making a lot of money off the name of the Port of Houston. In fact, I'd be happy if everyone would just use this page to go straight to the official site. As long as it doesn't cost me anything and I can benefit, it's a good thing. I hope that someday this will result in something good. It's more of a Karma type thing.

Can I link to your site?
You can, but I'd rather you link to the official Port site. I don't have banners and feel that such banners would be inappropriate as it may indicate some sort of authority from the Port of Houston. This is an UNOFFICIAL site and nothing should ever imply anything else.

How do I get you to link to me?
I don't link to too many companies. Usually they either have something directly to do with the Port and the Port will benefit by my linking to them or they are clients of the hosting company we use. Please, if you require hosting, use them. They are good and are providing this service. I could not do this without them.
