Recently we announced the PEER 1 Quick Hits Twitter contest and have been having a lot of fun with it. Today is day three of our contest and we’re happy to announce the winners to date:

We’re getting such a great response to our Million Hits campaign that we’ve decided to take it a step further with a Twitter contest.
Over the next few days, I’ll be posting “Quick Hits” trivia contests on my Twitter account at http://twitter.com/charnellpugsley. For each contest, the winning trivia factoid will be embedded in one of our YouTube videos.
FIRST PRIZE: A Flip Video Mino SECOND PRIZE: A “Million Hits” sumo wrestler t-shirt.
So please follow me on Twitter, keep an eye on my Tweets, and maybe you’ll win a prize! And don’t forget to visit http://www.peer1.com/millionhits/ and learn how PEER 1 can help get your business ready for a million hits.
As part of our newly launched “Million Hits” campaign, I want to highlight our customer, TokBox.com who is doing great things and experiencing significant growth. PEER 1 has provided TokBox with a scalable IT hosting solution that meets their growing online demands.
TokBox provides FREE video call and video mail services, and the folks there know firsthand the impact of rapid growth. Launching its original service in October 2007, TokBox continues to attract users from all over the world who want to enrich their everyday conversations with a very simple video call and mail service delivered through the Web. Last fall, TokBox experienced more than 50 percent growth in just a few weeks. Now millions of people are using their service.
We’re very excited to have TokBox as a customer. Have you experienced sudden online growth in a day, week or month? Tell us about your experience and we’ll share it here.
If you’ve visited our home page lately, you’ve seen the arrows. If you’ve dropped by our Facebook page, you’ve seen the sumo wrestler. Today, PEER 1 is proud to launch a series of online video commercials that ask: “Is your business ready for a million hits?”
All three ads were produced in a single high-energy day by the tremendously talented people at Rethink Communications.
Why would we make videos where we bury someone in thousands of rubbery arrows? Well, for one thing it’s pretty funny. But at the same time, we want to make a serious point about IT preparedness. PEER 1 is proud to offer reliable hosting to all types of companies, whether they get a million website hits in a month, in a day or even in an hour. Because PEER 1 is a financially sound company, we’re positioned to support our customers through challenging economic times. We have a solid foundation, a great group of diverse customers and a proven business model. We’re confident we offer the safest, most scalable IT hosting environment for businesses running an online presence and we want to let every IT professional and business operator know that through this campaign.
We are also unveiling our new tagline “Fully scalable hosting solutions” that will appear below our logo from now on. The tagline speaks to our position in the marketplace as a full solution IT hosting provider offering you the choice (or combination) of Managed Hosting, Dedicated Hosting (through our ServerBeach division), Co-location services, and in the near future, Cloud Computing. It also captures our core value proposition of delivering “scalability”, or our ability to grow with our customer’s online hosting demands; conversely, our ability to scale down when less hosting horsepower is required. It also speaks to PEER 1′s extensive geographical footprint – 15 data centers and 21 network PoPs across North America and Europe – and our reputable high performance SuperNetwork™.
Let us know what you think of the ads. If you like them, please link, embed, tweet, blog, and share anywhere and everywhere on the net.
