FoodBev.com & Heart Internet
FoodBev.com has used dedicated servers with Heart Internet since September 2008, first on a Dual Core Windows (using .net) platform and then on Heart Internet’s Quad Core Linux (using php) platform after a redevelopment of the website in January 2009.
Richard Potts, Online Development Officer at FoodBev.com explains, "Previously, FoodBev.com was hosted by another web host on a Windows virtual server; however downtime and inconsistent customer service support led FoodBev.com to change to Heart Internet. Having previously used Heart Internet for a number of smaller websites, the level of service, cost, security and ease of use put Heart Internet top of our list for dedicated server providers."
"Our Heart Internet dedicated server hosts our main website: www.FoodBev.com. Our dedicated server requirements were based on the need to know exactly what we would be paying for. Having researched and contacted several leading dedicated server providers, we opted for Heart Internet’s straightforward, no-nonsense offering that provided a cost-effective and stable platform for our flagship website."
FoodBev.com also use Heart Internet to provide a reseller hosting service they use to support a number of micrio-sites, including theirWordpress-based events website: www.BeverageAwards.com
In addition, they opted for cPanel as the management interface for their dedicated server.
Richard commented "Both of the Heart Internet dedicated servers that we have used (Windows and Linux) provided FoodBev.com with a vital level of stability and uptime, especially during peak periods. Due to the amount of development that FoodBev.com has undergone in the last 12 months, we have leaned heavily on Heart Internet customer service. Always quick, polite and accurate with any response, Heart Internet customer support has provided an invaluable and reliable resource at all times."
"FoodBev.com strongly endorses Heart Internet for excellent customer service, stable and consistent servers, cost-efficient and well-structured pricing plans and one of the best user-interfaces we have come across."
The Future
FoodBev.com continues to grow in size as new content is added daily, and this in turn adds more traffic each month. Over the coming months FoodBev.com expects a consistently high level of website usage with sharp spikes around their daily and weekly newsletters, and an increasing demand from audio and video downloads.
