Cape Town Tourism\u2019s official website, Capetown.travel<\/a>, helps visitors to the Western Cape plan their perfect holiday online.<\/p>\n

With over 2 million enquiries per year, Capetown.travel is the go-to website for both local and international travellers looking to visit \u00a0The Mother City.<\/p>\n

With increased demand from international visitors to the site 24\/7, Capetown.travel needed a resilient solution with a great uptime guarantee.<\/p>\n

They opted to make use of Hetzner\u2019s Custom Hosting Solution (CHS)<\/a>, comprised of a dedicated team that proactively monitors and responds to server performance or capacity issues while simultaneously ensuring a 99.9% website availability \u2013 a critical factor in the success of such a popular tourism website.<\/p>\n

\u201cHosting our mission-critical website with Hetzner ensures consistent performance and high availability, even during peak season demand,\u201d says Sulaiman Fredericks, eBusiness & ICT manager at Cape Town Tourism.<\/p>\n

Through a consultative process, Hetzner\u2019s CHS team proposed a solution that could expand as Capetown.travel\u2019s user base grows and their needs evolve.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom when we first got in touch, Hetzner\u2019s CHS team maintained constant contact. We told them what we needed and they came up with the right technical solution for us. From the very start we felt supported and understood\u201d, comments Fredericks.<\/p>\n

CHS enables Capetown.travel to keep their critical services online, including their popular mobile application which gives users access to hundreds of recommendations, insider tips and maps.<\/p>\n

CHS seamlessly diverts traffic to a secondary server in the unlikely event of service disruption to the primary server, ensuring continuous uptime while improving the website\u2019s resilience.<\/p>\n

For Capetown.travel<\/a> it was critical to choose a web host that could handle both the volumes and technical requirements necessary to ensure their website won\u2019t let them down during crucial moments.<\/p>\n

\u201cCHS<\/a> supports us, so we can deliver on our visitors\u2019 expectations, whether local, national or international\u201d, concludes Fredericks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
