HostMySite.Com and Mozilla Celebrate Milestone of the Firefox Grassroots Community
NEWARK, DE, September 29, 2006 — Delaware-based Web hosting company HostMySite.com contributes free managed dedicated hosting to SpreadFirefox, the online volunteer community organized to spread the news about the Mozilla Firefox Web browser. To celebrate the two hundred millionth download of the award winning Web browser, SpreadFirefox launched the Fox Tales website (www.thefoxtales.com). The dedicated site gives users a place to share stories of how they spread the word about Firefox.
To assist the launch of this unique Web space, HostMySite.com developed and deployed a multi-server hosting setup. The powerful load balanced servers create a redundant and stable platform on which 50,000 simultaneous visitors can easily view the website without experiencing slow page loads.
Like Firefox, HostMySite.com relies mainly on word of mouth for business growth. Built on a foundation of unmatched 24x7x365 customer service, the Web host recognizes fellow organizations that pride themselves on providing a superior product praised by users. Over 70% of new customers to HostMySite.com are referred by existing customers.
"We see a lot of similarities between the loyalty of the Firefox community and HostMySite.com customers," said Jason Morris, Director of Sales for HostMySite.com. "Our customers regularly send us unsolicited testimonials. Many of them can't believe the dedication our customer support team shows to their business. In fact, we receive so many that we added a section to our own website to share these experiences."
Mozilla chose to work with HostMySite.com based on the Web host's expertise in ColdFusion hosting, dedicated servers, and unparalleled customer service.
HostMySite.com, inspired by the devotion of the Firefox users, believes their contribution is an extension of their own mission. "This contribution is our way of helping Mozilla achieve their goals of offering a superior Web browser and email software, and improving Internet technology and standards," added Morris.
