We are one of the first Perth based companies to save our client thousands of pounds by embracing the migration from conventional hosting to the latest computing solution, “cloud hosting”. ifyouski is a UK based online travel consultancy specialising in skiing holidays, who have cut their hosting costs by a massive 76% by switching to Amazon EC2 hosting.

 

We saw an opportunity for our client to save thousands of pounds and be more cost effective by purchasing their computing requirements at the rate at which they use it. We are confident in the latest innovative way of hosting and have proved successful with Amazon EC2 and ifyouski. Cloud hosting allows us to save our client time and money, making us and them more efficient.

 

ifyouski.com experiences highly seasonal traffic on their site due to the nature of the service they provide, and can have an excess of up to 20 000 unique users per day during high season. This figure is obviously dramatically cut during off season and so their hosting needs are minimised during this period.
By switching to Amazon EC2 (Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud), ifyouski is able to use and pay for the hosting they require instead of a flat rate all year round. Based on the same principle as buying electricity, you only pay for as much as you use. We effectively rent (rather than physically purchase) from an enormous server provider which minimises time and risk, as well as being far more economical for ifyouski.

 

We have successfully moved another of our travel consultancy clients, South African based toescapeto.com, over to Amazon EC2 for more efficient hosting, saving the company 10’s of thousands of rands.
