Hostaroo, Inc., Survives Storms with no outages
Louisville, KY (December 1, 2008) – The largest power
outage in Kentucky history, caused by a massive ice storm,
had no impact on Hostaroo.com and its clients. The ice storm
that began on Tuesday, January 27, 2009 and continued
through the week caused up to 700,000 homes and businesses
throughout the state to lose power for 10 days or longer.
The storm was so severe that it prompted local and statewide
governments to call upon the states full 4,600 person
National Guard to assist with recovery operations – marking
the first time in the state’s history the entire Guard was
called to action. City, State and National governments
declared the state of Kentucky a Natural Disaster – 90 of
Kentucky’s 120 counties were declared emergencies.
The ice storm marked the second time within the last five
months that severe weather conditions crippled Louisville
businesses. Only a few months earlier on September 14th,
2008 Louisville experienced winds as high as 75 mph
resulting from Hurricane Ike. In both cases, Louisville-area
businesses were without power for up to 10 days.
Hostaroo.com however, provided 100% uptime to its world wide
clients during and after both storms.
Hostaroo provides consulting for local businesses, to help
them realize a professional presence on the Internet.
Founded in 2000, Hostaroo is headquartered in Louisville,
Kentucky, and is privately held.
