A customer from Argentina signed up with Hostway's managed Web hosting services during the summer of 2005. The customer's online business grew significantly over the initial six months, and Hostway's multiple server solution enabled its engineers to focus on expanding their infrastructure and applications rather than managing their servers.
As a successful and still growing business, this customer has relied on Hostway for over three years. Each of its projects is unique and Hostway works closely with the customer to accommodate its specifications and requirements with customizable hosting solutions that allow the company to grow.

This US-based company came to Hostway in mid year 2005 looking for a single server. The business exploded, and it soon required many more servers. Despite its simple setup, the customer required rapid server deployment with a customized partition structure. Hostway modified its imaging system to accommodate this and meet the customer's rapid deployment schedule. The customer now has more than 20 servers with Hostway and continues to grow.

This American healthcare company runs a referral network. They signed up with Hostway late in 2006 with just two servers and have grown rapidly to their current 18-server solution primarily housed in Hostway's Austin data center.
This customer was hit with a DDOS attack early in 2008. After consultation, Hostway set up a failover backup location in Tampa, guaranteeing that in the event of a disaster or future DDOS attack, the customer can redirect their services with little or no downtime. As a priority customer, they have immediate status on support tickets, and Hostway assists with their yearly accounting audits. Hostway's sales consultant maintains an ongoing collaborative relationship with the customer's technical director, who often calls to discuss new projects and increased server needs.
Real Estate Search Engine
This California-based Real Estate Search Engine is a success story that starts with just three servers with Hostway.
When it needed a load balancing solution, Hostway's engineers participated in conference calls with the company's employees to discuss their scalability needs. The company decided to move to Hostway's Dedicated Load Balance solution.
Hostway deployed two Dell servers running Debian and Linux Virtual Server to act as redundant load balancing and firewalls. By this time, the customer was up to 20 servers.
Next, the customer sought to improve its private network. Again, Hostway's system engineers identified a solution: replace all unmanaged backup switches with high-end managed switches and give the customer access so it can perform SNMP monitoring. This solution was so successful, the customer has continued to add servers to its plan, and now has a total of 85 dedicated servers with Hostway.
