Houston, Texas - (Cheap Web Hosting Directory) - July 16, 2007 - MuggleNet.com Harry Potter fan website, has been upgraded with The Planet's infrastructure as the popular website prepares for the new movie and final book release visitor onslaught.
The new book, ''Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,'' by J.K. Rowling, is one of the reasons that each day, www.mugglenet.com averages over one million visitors to its web site, with even more during peak operating periods. The Planet is the exclusive web hosting provider for the site.
MuggleNet.com Founder Emerson Spartz, also an author, is currently traveling the country promoting his own book titled ''MuggleNet.com's What Will Happen in Harry Potter 7: Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Falls in Love and How Will the Adventure Finally End.'' Written in conjunction with co-authors Ben Schoen, Andy Gordon, Jamie Lawrence and Gretchen Stull, the collaborative team provides insights and predictions on the final Potter novel. The book has appeared on the New York Times Best Sellers list for the past 21 weeks in the children's paperback selections.
Mr. Spartz, 20, started www.mugglenet.com at age 12, based on his own prolific interest in all things Harry Potter. Today, in addition to attending college, he manages a staff of 120 around the globe, all of whom share a collective interest in the young wizard.. Mr. Spartz continued, ''I was fortunate to learn management skills 101 very early, which has prepared me well for a career in business. Even in college, I see too many people who pursue careers based solely on a financial outcome, rather than on ultimately doing something they really enjoy or love. The money is great, but it's not sustainable if you don't enjoy the work. I'm often asked for advice about being an entrepreneur, and my answer is always to keep asking why when you're pursuing something new. In my case, I'm constantly thinking about how I can change the site to be even better. There's always room for improvement with any project.''
Steve Kahan, Vice President of Marketing and Product Management, with The Planet offered, ''For companies that require streaming media and rich content delivery, The Planet's data centers and network provide world-class performance to support the most rugged requirements. In anticipation of traffic fluctuations, sites like www.mugglenet.com easily add additional servers to accommodate traffic spikes.''
