Case Study: Eastern PA Weather Authority achieves reliable, high-performance weather delivery with InMotion Hosting Managed Hosting

Eastern PA Weather Authority - Customer Case Study

InMotion Hosting’s Managed Hosting team partnered with the Eastern Pennsylvania Weather Authority (EPAWA), a regional site providing daily forecasts, interactive radar and analytical models for eastern Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware. As EPAWA’s audience grew, increased traffic strained their infrastructure and prompted a move to a managed, dedicated hosting solution to ensure reliability and performance.

InMotion deployed an optimized Elite Class dedicated server and continuous monitoring, using Varnish caching (yielding 300–1000x faster delivery in many cases), Apache DSO with mod_ruid2, and APC to reduce load and speed PHP execution. The result was significantly lower server load, minimal downtime and consistently fast, reliable access to weather information for thousands of regional users.
