Mike Huckabee Website Contributes to MomentumNewark, DE - January 22, 2008 - In this era of Presidential Politics 2.0, a strong Internet presence is no longer a luxury for candidates, but a mandatory piece of the campaign equation. In analyzing the strength of the Huckabee Presidential run and the recent surge in the candidate's popularity, the campaign's website at www.mikehuckabee.com has emerged as a key element in the race.
The website was developed by GSL Solutions, a company that specializes in the creative design of customized web sites and web applications. The 'Mike Huckabee for President' website is just one of dozens of political and Congressional websites developed in the past several years by GSL Solutions. While the company has a long history of successful web development projects for politicians, creating a website for a leading Presidential candidate presents its own unique challenges.
Keeping a website of this size and scope running at peak performance is a major challenge, especially given the recent surge in candidate Huckabee's popularity following a caucus win in Iowa and strong follow up performance in the New Hampshire Presidential primary. In addition, there are now multiple links and mentions in the national media such as a recent story in the New York Times. The amount of web traffic at Governor Huckabee's website and the server load it creates are the responsibility of
website hosting company, HostMySite.com.
Derek Vaughan, Vice President of Marketing at HostMySite.com commented on the opportunity to play a role in the Presidential race,
''HostMySite.com was chosen for this assignment based on our web hosting expertise and ability to deliver truly scalable and responsive Internet solutions. As with many other Americans, we view this Presidential election cycle as pivotal in our Nation's history. It is a great honor and responsibility to help the American people determine the best course for our Government through free and fair elections. By offering robust Internet website availability for Governor Huckabee we know that the information gathering process necessary for informed voters will benefit.''
Michael Gaines, President of GSL Solutions described the importance of the website, ''I spoke with the Governor after the debate about the website and he acknowledged how important the site has been to their ability to interact with supporters and sustain his campaign for President. The anticipation is that the growth of traffic and supporters will likely double leading up to the final primary votes. Our company has been working with
HostMySite.com for the last 6 years and we have thoroughly enjoyed the relationship and support. This particular site and its momentum are unlike anything we've experienced. I know many of the
HostMySite.com technical staff have been working hard to help keep this site up over the past few days.''
