Recently we made a blog post about the PEER 1 Million Hits campaign and shared 3 humorous videos. The response to our campaign has been phenominal! To continue on, we’ve decided to take it one step further and create a “Million Hits” Twitter contest. Do you have a Twitter account?
Sign up for Twitter today if you don’t already have an account and if you do, check out our contest details here: http://www.peer1.com/blog/?p=183
If you’ve visited our parent company PEER 1′s 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 and ServerBeach are 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 we’re 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 PEER 1′s new tagline “Fully scalable hosting solutions” that will appear below the logo from now on. The tagline speaks to PEER 1′s position in the marketplace as a full solution IT hosting provider offering you the choice (or combination) of Managed Hosting, Dedicated Hosting (through ServerBeach), 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.

What do PEER 1 and a racetrack have in common? Well PEER 1 (our parent company) has just sponsored two of its employees, system administrators Kevin Lee and Elson Rodriguez, to race in the 24 Hours of LeMons at the Carolina Motorsports Park in Kershaw, South Carolina. Yes, sys admins do have a life outside of the data center.
What is 24 Hours of LeMons you ask? It’s a weekend-long race for cars purchased, fixed up, and track-prepped for total of only $500 or less.
Kevin Lee’s team, “On The Run From Nuns” spent a total of two months working after hours, visiting junkyards on a regular basis, to put together a 1981 Turbo Diesel Mercedes for the race. The team had no outside help and completely rebuilt the car themselves.
“I spent so much time at junkyards, I never want to see another one again,” said Kevin. “We spent two months straight prior to the race literally tearing the car down and replacing every part on the motor.”
The fantastic 2-day event was an experience for all involved, even through the pouring down rain on Saturday and the blistering hot sun on Sunday. Kevin Lee and Team wound up placing 25th out of 74 cars total, after a broken trans axle took them out of the race mere minutes before its end!
Each team in the race can also face crazy qualifying rounds such as the Marxist Parking Valet, the Widdling Rottweiler Slalom, and/or the Stoney Bike-Messenger Shooting Gallery. Generally, track racing consists of two endurance sessions, one on Saturday and one on Sunday, with a late-night intermission for sleeping, eating, and Band-Aid application in between.
Count on plenty of noise, prizes, water fights, and questionably civilized fun before, during, and after the track sessions. Finally, assuming you’re still standing, there’s the gala awards ceremony, which presents trophies, plaques, and winner’s purses paid out in nickels – yes nickels.
Being the Community Evangelist for PEER 1, I was able to fly out to South Carolina and attend this event taking videos and getting a few interviews – one of them being with Jay Lamm, “The Chief Perpetrator.” The 24 Hours of LeMons is his of Jay’s, an Emeryville entrepreneur who produced the editorial content of specialty publications back in the ‘90s — car magazines touting, for example, Corvettes.
Jay now owns his own company, DriversDoor Inc. that produces cover-to-cover books and magazines for outside clients who don’t want to run their own editorial staff.
“I wanted to make this race a real challenge,” Lamm said of his decidedly down-market contest, “and one way to do that is make sure it’s a really crappy car and you have to make it (run) anyway.”
It was definitely a challenge and the PEER 1 team survived the noise, grit, grime and FUN!
ServerBeach had two pipes, one for redundancy, and YouTube was using one and a half of them, with rest of its customers limited to just half of the one left. ServerBeach had a great plan, $129 month for unlimited data. “They weren’t necessarily prepared for a service like YouTube.”
He’s right. We weren’t quite ready for their explosive growth, but found a way to manage. We captured our sentiments in this tongue-in-cheek video send off to the YouTube gang (who btw, loved it!) after they moved their last servers from the Beach over to Google.
“When YouTube first started to experience its exponential growth and our hosting needs changed, ServerBeach offered us great flexibility. They continually redesigned our streaming architecture for optimum performance while keeping our hosting costs in check.”
Many of you know (or may not know) that YouTube‘s beginning days were with ServerBeach. YouTube grew at an incredible speed and ServerBeach was there every step of the way providing them with the hardware and network necessary to support their amazing growth.
YouTube outgrew ServerBeach in November of 2007. Please take a look at our farewell video to YouTube. We’ll miss them! Really we will…..
I read an article not long ago that spoke about how Web 2.0 technology empowers the user with web tools and sites such as Wikipedia, Digg, Flickr, YouTube, MySpace and so many others. Sites like this are user friendly, easy to access and share. I’m always amazed at how far we’ve come from just not too long ago with technology, social networking and the like.
Bridging the gap between consumer Web 2.0 and enterprise. All of these individual Web 2.0 sites are great for the average person, but to reach the Enterprise they need to be combined in such a way that works for companies. Enterprise needs are much different than personal needs, so someone needs to become the conduit between consumer and enterprise: a community evangelist. Being a Community Evangelist, my job is to talk to both customers and the internal business units to get everyone working together, bridging the gap. Customers don’t always understand how the business works internally (if they did, they could do it themselves!) and businesses sometimes lose focus of what their customers really need or want.
We are also unveiling PEER 1′s new tagline “Fully scalable hosting solutions” that will appear below the logo from now on.
