Holiday Hosting Discounts From Codero

For many merchants, the influx of online shoppers that e-commerce sites see during the holiday season brings with it a need for more bandwidth. That is why hosting service Codero is offering special hosting discounts just in time for the inevitable increase in customer demands.

In an apparent effort to fall into the line of thinking that "Christmas season comes sooner every year," many retailers are expected to start their big holiday promotions as early as October (which is two weeks away, for those of you keeping track at home). This means that the time for e-tailers to increase the usability of their website is now, if they expect to compete with other online stores this holiday season.

With many predicting that a major portion of holiday retail shopping will be done online this year, ensuring that your website is functional and competitive is important. Codero seems to realize this, and has thus decided to offer its own holiday special.

"Before Cyber Monday arrives and the busy Christmas season, we've made it easier to shop Codero.com and launched valuable discounts," says Shelby Garlock, Codero's Director of Marketing. "The September specials are a way to help our customers be more visible to their won customers during the holiday season and assist those who are working on projects for the upcoming season. This is a great way to get quality servers that fit your IT needs at a discounted price that fits your budget."

Their discounts are based on some of the latest processor technology, namely the Second Generation Core i7 and Core i5, which are both bolstered with Intel Turbo Boost Technology to provide increased performance on demand.

Codero's servers also come with 12 TB of bandwidth in order to avoid having to charge overage fees to small businesses and e-tailers. Those familiar with the pitfalls of hosting a smaller e-tail site can tell you that without enough supporting bandwidth, they often face these charges when they are hit with increased traffic.

In addition to the discount, Codero has also enhanced their website to make it more e-commerce-friendly through updated navigation and purchasing designs.

Good Job Internet; Web Traffic Grows

Research firm TeleGeography said yesterday that International Internet traffic continues to grow, albeit at a slower rate.

The company said traffic grew 53 percent from mid-2007 to mid-2008, down from a 61 percent growth rate in the previous 12 months. International Internet capacity on ocean-spanning optical fibers increased 62 percent. On average, Internet traffic now uses just 29 percent of the available bandwidth.

It's not all roses and rainbows though. The effect for carriers is that eventually they will need to consider adding more capacity. ISP's are having a difficult time as Web traffic continues to grow (thanks Video) and in the past week we've heard rumors that bandwidth caps on the heaviest users is inevitable.
