BURLINGTON, Mass., March 3, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Endurance International Group (NASDAQ: EIGI), a leading provider of cloud-based platform solutions to help small and medium-sized businesses succeed online, today announced its participation at SXSW Interactive 2015 as the official sponsor and host of the Upload/Download Happy Hour at Austin's famed Majestic Music Hall.
