SAN ANTONIO – Apr. 16, 2007 – Rackspace® Managed Hosting, a leading global provider of managed hosting services, today announced the launch of Short-term Hosting, an on-demand hosting service designed to meet the growing need for short-term, campaign-based websites. Rackspace Short-term Hosting is primarily targeted at marketing, advertising and graphic design agencies where campaign-specific and seasonal websites are driving the advertising industry.
"Online campaigns are growing in popularity with technology advances like Web 2.0 and the ability to reach an unlimited market at a relatively fixed cost. Rackspace’s new Short-term Hosting provides the missing piece to the online package," said Ken Burbary, senior vice president and chief technology officer, Campbell-Ewald. "Short-term Hosting allows us to get a short-lived microsite or promotional site up-and-running quickly and take it down after the duration of the campaign. It’s more flexible than the traditional managed server approach and still backed by the rock-solid Rackspace infrastructure and Fanatical Support™ that allows us to deliver on our promises to our clients."
Rackspace Short-term Hosting offers a three-month hosting contract for customers’ web-based campaigns and the flexibility to change or even bring down the account while avoiding termination penalties typically associated with long-term contracts or more costly month-to-month pricing. Supported by a dedicated team of Rackspace technicians, Short-term Hosting customers have access to three configuration options to best suit their project needs, including web servers, a firewall and the option for a load-balancer. Short-term Hosting also provides scalable bandwidth to accommodate traffic variances typical of major online advertising campaigns.
"Advertising campaigns move quickly, and agencies need fast access to a flexible hosting platform, so they can begin their work immediately and bring down a site when the campaign is complete without being tied into a year-long contract or the more expensive month-to-month option. After hearing from our advertising customers about these specific needs, we developed Short-term Hosting to offer them abbreviated project solutions that can be deployed within a matter of days – not weeks," said Scott White, director of channel sales and verticals, Rackspace Managed Hosting. "Short-term Hosting also offers customers our Fanatical Support through a dedicated team of expert technicians whose goal is to provide the best possible web infrastructure available in order to drive the success of these projects."To learn more about Rackspace Short-term Hosting, contact Scott White at 1-800-961-2888.
