Shine Marketing have today signed agreemenets with Rackspace to provide hosting services for their ShineEcommerce websites.

Rackspace is a recognized leader in the IT hosting market delivering enterprise-level managed services to businesses of all sizes and kinds around the world. Serving more than 14,000 customers in eight data centers worldwide, Rackspace integrates the industry's best technologies and practices for each customer's specific need and delivers it as a service via the company's promise of Fanatical Support®.

Stephen Pratley, Managing Director of Shine Marketing said:

"After trying a number of hosting partners, Rackspace were a clear winner in their willingness to listen to our requirements and commit to the levels of service needed by our clients who run busy Ecommerce businesses needing 24/7 attention. Our conversations with other Rackspace clients in our same sector indicated that the promises being made were a reality. Not something you hear often about hosting providers."

Two new client wins, Lanson Running and Sahara will be the first sites developed with the new hosting partner, and existing sites including ZPM.com will be migrated over in the coming weeks.

Clients of the ShineEcommerce light service, a low-cost starter site package, will benefit from the service later in the year. Sites already using ShineEcommerce light include HipHouses and DrBrandt Skincare UK.
