Case Study: RocketSTEM inspires young explorers with DreamHost DreamPress

RocketSTEM keeps 10,000+ annual downloads running with DreamHost

RocketSTEM, a nonprofit educational media organization, faced the challenge of managing a resource-intensive website with high traffic, especially after launching online learning resources during the COVID-19 pandemic. They needed reliable, scalable hosting to keep their site running smoothly. They turned to the vendor DreamHost, initially using shared hosting before upgrading to a VPS and ultimately moving to DreamHost's managed WordPress solution, DreamPress.

DreamHost provided the solution with DreamPress, which handled the site migration and offered a crucial staging site feature for safe development and tinkering. This ensured the website remained stable and performant. The results were a consistently operational site that supported a surge in traffic, allowing RocketSTEM to reliably offer free educational content. The partnership has lasted over eight years, with DreamHost enabling the nonprofit to focus on its mission rather than technical website management.
