Case Study: The Daily Star achieves high-performance, reliable managed dedicated hosting for millions of hourly visitors with InMotion Hosting

The Daily Star - Customer Case Study

InMotion Hosting presents a case study with The Daily Star, the top online newspaper in Bangladesh, which serves millions of hits per hour. The Daily Star had outgrown its previous host — lacking a comprehensive managed hosting solution capable of delivering the performance and reliability required for very high traffic — so they migrated to InMotion.

InMotion’s Managed Hosting team built a dedicated, optimized platform using two Commercial Class servers (separate web and database), Varnish caching, Nginx, Apache DSO with mod_ruid2, and APC, plus high-performance RAID storage and multicores. The result was a rock‑solid, highly responsive environment that reduced server load and dramatically improved delivery speeds under heavy traffic, with InMotion providing ongoing management and support.
