Case Study: TheBlaze achieves seamless, high-performance Magento e-commerce and traffic-spike resilience with Hostway

How TheBlaze Benefits From Hostway's Know-how and Partner Proficiency

TheBlaze, a news and entertainment website, needed a reliable, high-performance home for its Magento-based Marketplace to handle frequent, high-volume “flash” traffic from on-air mentions. Already a Hostway cloud customer, TheBlaze sought a solution that would ensure uptime, fast Magento performance, and the ability to absorb traffic spikes without disrupting the user experience.

Hostway deployed a hybrid architecture combining FlexCloud and dedicated servers and engaged partner Cynch to manage the Magento migration, database clustering and performance tuning. The result was a seamless, cost-efficient move to a stable, high-capacity environment optimized for Magento Enterprise, with improved site performance, reliable handling of traffic surges and ongoing monitoring and adjustments retained by TheBlaze.
