Rackspace Managed Hosting, announced today that it has entered into an
agreement to host the MailBigFile service. MailBigFile allows users to
send large files in a way that does not over-burden recipient’s email
inboxes.
The MailBigFile service allows the user to upload a file onto the
website and type in the recipient’s email address. The recipient is
then notified by email to go to a site where he or she can download the
file. The service is popular with web-design, new media and advertising
companies who regularly need to send high-resolution images to clients.
Users benefit from sending and receiving electronic copies of files
rather than having to incur the expense and delay of using couriers.
Glen Scott, technical director at Design Solution, the creators of
MailBigFile said: “We chose Rackspace to host MailBigFile as we need
the highest level of reliability for this service. We gain our
competitive edge by ensuring the service is fast, reliable and
available, so we needed a web hosting
partner who we knew we could depend on. We also sell the MailBigFile
functionality on to businesses that then run it under their own brand.
Corporate customers need to be confident that the performance will
never damage their reputation. Rackspace has been our hosting
partner since Design Solution was first established in 1997 and as our
requirements have evolved and grown Rackspace has been flexible and has
always surpassed our expectations.”
Jacques Greyling, UK managing director at Rackspace Managed Hosting
said: “With MailBigFile, Design Solution has been able to use its
industry expertise to create a service that is perfectly suited to
media and design companies. MailBigFile demands a high quality and
reliable web-hosting provider. Rackspace has provided rock-solid hosting to back this up, handling major spikes in traffic without problems.”
