Greenguy's Link O'Rama (www.link-o-rama.com) is one of the most popular adult link sites on the Internet today. It is a veritable Yahoo of smut.
Mike Jenkins launched the site in 1996 as a place to put his sex-site bookmarks. "I started it just for kicks; just to have a Web page," he explains. He didn't realize the site would become a hot spot for both porn seekers and developers. "Within two years, the site grew from one page at a free host to a full-blown site on its own dedicated server."
Boasting 130 thousand unique users a day, Greenguy transmits over 30 gigabytes of data daily. Accommodating the fast growth, Jenkins selected an adult Web host noted for its scalability.
Allwebsites has been the Greenguy's host of choice since 1997. The firm is recognized as one of the most advanced Web hosting services in the world today because of its conservative approach towards system security and its liberal approach towards bandwidth.
Allwebsites ensures that all its Internet sites are protected from hackers by sealing all potential security holes. While the company ensures limited access to private administrative tools, it assures wide-open access to the public portions of their customer's Web sites.
Connecting each server to its own 100-megabit pipe, equivalent to nearly 70 T1 lines, Allwebsites ensures that Greenguy's site is accessible 24/7. The company utilizes four independent Internet backbones, served through intelligent Cisco routing technology.
The result is that Greenguy's users are always connected to the site through the most ideal pathway. Traffic is constantly routed around backbones that might be experiencing congestion. This is of importance to Jenkins because his site must be constantly available.
"Greenguy acts as the online phone book for adult Web sites," says Jenkins. "It is necessary for the site to be fast and accessible and Allwebsites delivers." Greenguy's server is very quick because of its specialized configuration. Allwebsites has developed its own variation of the UNIX environment entitled “NetPump.” The privately held hosting firm invested over $100k in advanced programming to develop a state-of-the-art server platform adequate to support the needs of high traffic Web sites.
Jenkins leverages the power of his "NetPump" server to provide his users continuous access to his directory of smut-sites. While Web surfers scan 42 separate categories, from amateurs to water sports, they enjoy the hidden fruits of Allwebsites’ 99.5 per cent uptime guarantee.
“My site only went down once and that was two years ago," reveals Jenkins. Because of their great record of speed and service, Jenkins enthusiastically endorses Allwebsites as an excellent choice for adult webmasters. "The service is so fast, that it only takes me one minute each day to run a script on my server that compiles all the sex links that are presently on my site. And there are presently over 8,000.”
