- By Liam Eagle, December 23, 2009
(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- UK-based managed hosting provider DediPower (www.dedipower.com) announced last week that it will be working to provide the hosting platform for the web presence of the Virgin Galactic commercial space program.
The announcement, announced in the immediate wake of the presentation of the Virgin Galactic SpaceShipTwo, the commercial space vessel itself, says DediPower has been chosen to provide a stable platform for the site, and one capable of handling the large volume of traffic expected for the site.
The website itself is a venue for information about the commercial space travel project, and currently includes a YouTube clip covering the unveiling of the spaceship, along with a variety of other information resources associated with the project.
DediPower says it has built several custom solutions, incorporating dedicated servers and gigabit connectivity, to accommodate the traffic volume. The company will be providing Virgin Galactic with round-the-clock managed service as well.
“We are delighted to be working with Virgin Galactic and incredibly excited to be a part of this revolutionary space program,” says DediPower CEO Craig Martin, quoted in the press release. “An event of this magnitude sees an inordinate amount of people accessing the website. Our scalable solution is meeting traffic demands, enabling Virgin Galactic to rest assured that its site is being managed with the highest service levels possible.”
Along with providing services for the Virgin Galactic website, DediPower says it has an existing relationship with Virgin that stretches back over the past year.
