San Antonio, Texas - (The Hosting News) - November 20, 2008 - Dedicated server hosting specialist, and PEER 1 subsidiary, ServerBeach, has been selected to power the web hosting and IT infrastructure Natuba's document and photo share services.

Originally designed as an iPhone focused web site, Natuba is now broadening its reach to support multiple mobile and web platforms. These changes and growth require a reliable and flexible hosting solution that can address the growing demands of its community.

Richard Yoo, Chief Executive Officer of Natuba remarked, ''Our goal is to provide a simple way for people to share their photos and to make this process quick and easy, all based on a stable online environment. In order to achieve this, we needed to rethink our network and hosting needs, which brought us to ServerBeach. The level of service and support is higher than what we found elsewhere, and we feel confident that our hosting and network will continue to grow efficiently with us, as our community of users increases.''

Natuba experienced a seamless transition when it moved its business to ServerBeach in September of this year. Since that move, the Natuba site is processing at speeds nearly 16 times faster than before, meaning users now see their photos appear online almost instantly after uploading from their mobile phones. Natuba, which was created by ServerBeach co-founder Richard Yoo, relies on having a usable, accessible site.

With ServerBeach, its system is fully optimized for posting and viewing of photos that matter the most to people. In the first few weeks working with ServerBeach, the Natuba team has virtually seen no network challenges or any need for technical support outside of the transition.

Richard Yoo, Chief Executive Officer of Natuba added, ''We were excited to see Richard return to his roots here with the ServerBeach family. We are dedicated to working closely with the creative people at Natuba, as with all our customers, to provide all the hosting infrastructure and tools they need to reach their goals and continue experiencing success.''
