Server scalability and Oxbury Publishing.

Design, Micro Blog, Techie March 12th, 2009

Currently Hive Minds Hosting is hosting Oxbury Publishing, including their other web properties. As the company business is growing, and it is expending in to customized reports and articles, delivered via newsletter, I know that the current server will not be able to handle the load of newsletter campaigns that are going to take place. I’ve spend today consulting the company owners about renting a dedicated server and moving their operations to a machine, which only serves their needs.

Kind of long and repetitive, but that’s the whole point.

Good job Lit Fuse.
