Case Study: Luna Roasters Gourmet Coffee & Tea achieves 50% e‑commerce cost savings and 3x faster performance with 365 Data Centers

Host.net’s Cloud Services, Cut Costs in Half

Luna Gourmet, an online artisan coffee retailer, faced high hosting costs and poor e‑commerce performance from a colocation facility 300 miles from its headquarters. When the colo provider’s virtual machine option proved 25% more expensive and 30% slower in trials, the company needed a way to modernize its infrastructure, cut expenses and eliminate slow page loads and customer abandon rates.

After a 30‑day trial, Luna migrated its e‑commerce stack to Host.net’s Virtual Private Data Center (vPDC). Host.net delivered more than three times the performance of the legacy colo while cutting monthly hosting fees roughly in half, replacing six physical servers with six VMs and moving e‑commerce from the top IT expense to a lower‑cost, highly scalable, SOC2/PCI/HIPAA‑compliant managed cloud with burst capacity, 24x7 monitoring and rapid recovery.
