Case Study: clubZone achieves 100% network uptime and rapid scalability for New Year's peak traffic with Hostway

clubZone - Customer Case Study

clubZone.com is a nightlife-events site that typically draws about 1.2 million visitors per month and roughly 4 million in December, with traffic spiking up to 20x at the end of the month as customers buy New Year’s Eve tickets. This concentrated surge—more than 100 Mb/s during a 12-hour peak that produces roughly 15,000 ticket sales and 60–70% of annual revenue—created a high risk of costly downtime and required a hosting partner with flexible pricing and tailored capacity.

Hostway provided a hybrid solution of colocation and managed hosting with the ability to add temporary servers during peak season and a 100% network uptime guarantee. The rapid, on-demand scalability ensured clubZone handled the December traffic surge and the critical ticket-sale window without interruption, protecting revenue and giving the team the flexibility to adjust capacity as business needs change.
