Case Study: Web Station achieves 100% revenue growth with Microsoft Azure

Web Developer on Track to Double Revenues with Site Creation, Hosting Platform

Web Station, a seven-person web design, development, and hosting firm in Charlotte, faced high third-party hosting costs, frequent outages with no visibility, single points of failure, and significant management time spent on hosting issues — problems that made the company uncompetitive and caused it to lose roughly 70% of new-business calls.

By migrating about 300 customer sites to Microsoft Azure Web Sites, Web Station now provisions new sites in seconds, completes site migrations in about 10 minutes each, and uses Azure instances and SQL Database with automated backups and scaling. The move cut hosting costs by roughly 60%, enabled a subscription pricing model, increased new-business wins from 30% to 80%, doubled business volume, and put the company on track to double revenues.
