Case Study: Didit aims to turn Gawker into a force for good with DreamHost

Didit uses DreamHost DreamPress after 13 years to power Gawker for Good

DreamHost customer Kevin Lee, the executive chairman of digital agency Didit, wanted to fundamentally transform the notorious media site Gawker into a force for good. His vision was to create "Gawker for Good," a cause-marketing publishing platform that would generate charitable donations from ad revenue, but he needed reliable web hosting to support the potential surge in traffic during and after his bid for the site.

To prepare for this initiative, Lee upgraded his hosting with DreamHost to DreamPress, leveraging the vendor's service to ensure his site could handle increased media attention. While the final outcome of the Gawker auction was pending, DreamHost provided the dependable and high-value infrastructure that allowed Lee and Didit to confidently pursue their innovative plan to convert content consumption into charitable contributions.
