Hotfrog America Prepares to Move to Denver
Hotfrog.us an American online business directory has made announcements that the young tag based website will be moving web servers. This move would hopefully help increase usability in terms of speed as well as cater for future increase in traffic.
(PRWEB) January 23, 2007 -- www.Hotfrog.us has announced their intentions to move web servers from Sydney, Australia to Denver, Colorado. This move is necessary due to the incredible growth in popularity throughout America. Although no official relocation date has been announced as yet, Hotfrog US has announced intentions to move within the following weeks.
The new dedicated web server has been built to sustain the increased number of users entering the online business directory. HotFrog US is specifically designed to gain traffic via organic search engine referrals. Since its launch on September 27th 2006, http://www.hotfrog.us has grown to include over 2 million American businesses.
Businesses register on Hotfrog for the chance to snatch a fraction of the traffic Hotfrog is currently receiving. The proposal to move to a more powerful server in Denver Colorado is part of the plan to help businesses achieve this. It will also give the website a chance to increase its current user traffic without causing problems to the speed of the website.
As more and more businesses sign up for a free listing on Hotfrog.us the strain on the web server which Hotfrog.us resides becomes more and more intense. However, for the new server, precautions have been made so that this does not affect normal running of the website. Adding to this, moving the server from Sydney Australia, to Denver Colorado would mean that accessing it for maintenance and updates would be a lot easy as well as a lot faster.
Although it is possible for Hotfrog to be access and maintained via a remote connection, it is definitely better and a lot more reliable for developers to access the server physically. This prevents the chance of the remote connection being compromised as well as any attempts of hacking via the open port used for the remote connection by web developers.
