April 4, 2006 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Internet hosting company RIS Technology (ristech.net) announced on Monday that it has signed a multi-year agreement with the Miss Universe Organization, producers of the Miss Universe, Miss USA and Miss Teen USA competitions.
"We found the combination of RIS' expertise and experience in hosting large scale media events and their excellent customer service very attractive," says Paula M. Shugart, president of the Miss Universe Organization. "We were impressed by RIS' reliable infrastructure, and are confident that we won't have to worry about scalability and performance during our upcoming telecasts."

The solution is fully redundant and performance optimized, from the enterprise quality servers to the fully meshed network, load balancers, and security devices.

Its multiple, dynamically scaled Web servers and a worldwide content distribution service ensures that customers' sites perform optimally throughout the telecasts.

January 2010 - Hottest Hosts Directory
In 2008, in our inaugural Hottest Hosts guide, I wrote that we were exploring a new format with the first in-print directory of web hosting services.
