📅 - Managed hosting company Hedgehog Hosting (hedgehoghosting.com -> hostinger.com) announced on Tuesday it has signed an agreement to provide DNS and hosting services for the Web sites of animal rights organization People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.
Hedgehog has migrated the majority of PETA's 160 Web sites including the extremely high-traffic peta.org, goveg.com, furisdead.com, kfccruelty.com and peta2.com sites. The company is running DNS for more than 500 of PETA's domain names.
"We get more than three million visits to our Web sites every month and often experience massive bursts of traffic in response to international news stories about our undercover investigations and campaigns against cruelty, and our sites frequently crashed," says Tracy Reiman, vice president for PETA's International Grassroots Campaigns. "Since we transitioned to Hedgehog, we have never gone down, ensuring that people have constant access to PETA's breaking news, plans for animal emergencies, tips for tasty vegetarian eating, and more."
PETA previously hosted its own sites and provided content both directly and through a caching service, but the need for higher bandwidth and frequent outages caused it to seek other hosting arrangements. The company chose to sign with Hedgehog after an initial consulting agreement with the Web hosting provider.
