PEER 1 launches online ads for A Million Hits: “Slacker”

Charnell Lucich — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 18:46:02 +0000

Many of you know that I work for an Internet Infrastructure company by the name of PEER 1. If you’ve visited the PEER 1 home page lately, you’ve seen the arrows. If you’ve dropped by the PEER 1 Facebook page, you’ve seen the sumo wrestler. Today, PEER 1 is proud to launch a series of online videos 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 PEER 1 make a video 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.

Learn more about how we can help get your business ready for a million hits.

PEER 1 Has Called Out All Texas Hosting Providers

Charnell Lucich — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 22:19:06 +0000

Quoting from “Just Your Average Geek-Girl” -

PEER 1, the company that I work for, participated in the 24 Hours of Lemons endurance race in Kershaw, South Carolina last year. We will be participating in this event again this year at the No Problem Raceway in Belle Rose Louisiana, June 6-7.

This year, PEER 1 is planning something a little different. This year, we are challenging all hosting providers in the state of Texas. Yes, you read correctly: WE WANT YOU!

Are you up to the challenge? Do you have what it takes to participate against PEER 1 in the 24 Hours of Lemons race?

Don’t be scared. You know you wanna!
