PEER1 to partner with e2x
PEER 1 Hosting, the online IT hosting provider, has announced that it is to partner with e-commerce specialist e2x to offer businesses expanding their global online presence an all-in-one e-commerce solution which includes world-wide hosting services.
e2x has developed a low-cost ATG Accelerator which allows the first site to be visible within 3 weeks and live within 14 weeks. James Spalding, managing director, e2x said: “Our ATG Accelerator is purpose built from the ground up and includes what we see as common core requirements. It is designed to support multi-platform usage (e.g. PC, Mobile) and enables new countries/languages to be rolled out in minutes without technical development.”
e2x said it explored a number of partnership options with hosting providers before choosing PEER 1 as it believes the company’s 10Gb FastFiber network will result in a significant reduction in bounce rates and empty shopping carts for its customers. It was also impressed by the in-house expertise and an environment optimised for online retail.
As the first European hosting solution designed for ATG, PEER 1 Hosting will also be offering e-commerce customers a 99.99% SLA, 24/7 support, and the use of its brand new £45 million custom built data centre in Hampshire.
Amanda Dunn, director of business development EMEA, PEER 1 Hosting said: “PEER 1 Hosting is committed to providing the optimal hosting environment for ecommerce. Online shoppers need a fast, secure and convenient shopping experience. Partnering with e2x was a natural fit, not only does the new ATG Accelerator provide e-commerce businesses with the right technology in the best environment, our company cultures also fit perfectly, striving for customer satisfaction and a passion for delivery.”
