[Only Registered users can see links . Click Here To Register...], a global provider of managed hosting services, today announced the launch of Short-term Hosting, an on-demand hosting service designed to meet the growing need for short-term, campaign-based websites.

The Short-term Hosting plan is primarily targeted at marketing, advertising and graphic design agencies where campaign-specific and seasonal websites are driving the advertising industry.

Rackspace Short-term Hosting offers a three-month hosting contract for customers' web-based campaigns and the flexibility to change or even bring down the account while avoiding termination penalties typically associated with long-term contracts or more costly month-to-month pricing. Supported by a dedicated team of technicians, Short-term Hosting customers have access to three configuration options to best suit their project needs, including web servers, a firewall and the option for a load-balancer. Short-term Hosting also provides scalable bandwidth to accommodate traffic variances typical of major online advertising campaigns.

"Advertising campaigns move quickly, and agencies need fast access to a flexible hosting platform, so they can begin their work immediately and bring down a site when the campaign is complete without being tied into a year-long contract or the more expensive month-to-month option. After hearing from our advertising customers about these specific needs, we developed Short-term Hosting to offer them abbreviated project solutions that can be deployed within a matter of days, not weeks", said Scott White, director of channel sales and verticals, Rackspace Managed Hosting.
