Case Study: Kids Cancer Foundation of South Florida achieves reliable, scalable, and cost‑effective web hosting with Rackspace Technology

Kids Cancer Foundation of South Florida On The Rackspace Cloud

Kids Cancer Foundation of South Florida is a local 501(c)(3) that raises funds and awareness to provide supportive care for children with cancer and to build a regional pediatric outpatient treatment center. Their website needed high availability and full control for a Python-powered site, but the previous host (Media Temple) was too restrictive and the site crashed under traffic spikes from press coverage.

They moved KidsCancerSF.org to Rackspace Cloud Servers, allowing the developer to customize the stack, scale quickly, and handle heavy concurrent traffic reliably. For about $20/month the site gained more RAM and burstable CPU, comfortably serving ~500 concurrent connections with no failures, plus fast, knowledgeable Rackspace support and community-focused hosting through Rack Gives Back.
