Case Study: Community Resource Site for the Area of Louisville, Kentucky

Websites that receive millions of page views and serve thousands of visitors a month require advanced technology to ensure their online presence remains online. Many times though the site's owner is forced to work within a limited budget making this a difficult process.
Take the example of Louisville Mojo (www.louisvillemojo.com), a community resource site for the Louisville, KY area, which provides members with detailed information on community events and attractions, free classified ads, local area chats, and more. As the largest media outlet in the state, Louisville Mojo's web presence required an advanced yet affordable solution.
"We originally launched LouisvilleMojo.com 15 months ago with a provider in California and experienced lots of trouble. The major problem stemmed from the fact that we didn't fit into their standard hosting solution and yet they were unwilling to work with us to find the right one. Basically, they told us that we needed to go somewhere else for hosting," explained Keith Ringer, VP of Marketing for Metro Mojo, the parent company of Louisville Mojo.
The VPS Solution
Louisville Mojo began using a VPS server from Hosting.com in September of 2003 after just 3 short months with their previous provider.
"After making the decision to switch hosting providers we did a lot of research. We wanted a specialist in the industry that would work with us and not only allow us to grow, but help us to grow. At Hosting.com we found a great technical team to partner with, a solution which would allow us to grow and there were no issues about server reliability," commented Ringer.
VPS Performance Tested
A testament to the strength and reliability of the VPS plan from Hosting.com is the traffic loads LousivilleMojo.com has experienced without interruption or slowness in performance.
LouisvilleMojo.com has consistently served over 10 million page views a month for the last quarter and as recently as August served 15.6 million page views and 393,801 visits.
"I am truly convinced that Hosting.com is probably the only company in the country who could have provided a solution at the cost that they did that has worked as well as it has. I have been extremely satisfied with our Hosting.com experience," concluded Ringer.
