When Hurricane Katrina hit, DONet helped gaspricewatch.com prevent a technical disaster.
For five years, gaspricewatch.com has reported fuel prices at over 125,000 stations across the nation.
Then, Hurricane Katrina struck. Gas prices soared. And gaspricewatch.com was in the spotlight; receiving national attention from CNN, Good Morning America, The New York Times, and the like. Suddenly, 24,000 people a minute were visiting the website.
Gaspricewatch.com knew what equipment they needed to handle the extra traffic. Problem was, their supplier couldn’t get it to them in time. But DONet, which hosts the site, had an idea.
We immediately sent our technological gurus to the website’s headquarters. We listened to their needs. And within hours, we had reserve equipment configured and in place. And gaspricewatch.com had a new cluster of servers so they could handle all that increased traffic, without a single jam.
It’s yet another example of how dedication, responsiveness and technological expertise can keep your business up and running.
“With DONet, we’re not a number. We’re not a ticket. We’re individuals. When we succeed, I can hear them behind me, cheering.”
